I backpacked around the world and used to work in a couple different Asian countries several months out of the year. I’d be in an incredibly beautiful, remote place, and the Europeans also traveling there would rather sit around and complain about America than go for a swim or a hike or discuss the country we were in. It seemed to be their favorite pastime, even on vacation in places that took a long time to get to.
I did a dnd campaign once where it had a Louisiana bayou theme. Rednecks? Southern belles, and swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. Was a lot of fun!
Icelandic hasn’t changed as much as other languages. Plus we are just trying to get as close as possible.
Basically the cultured elves should be speaking Ancient Greek, men can speak with Germanic accents, and dwarves Icelandic. That makes more sense than everyone just speaking different English accents.
I live in America and can confirm it sucks. Insane grocery prices, every state has its own landmines of laws that others don’t, housing crisis, the huge gap from rich to everyone else, how there can be million dollar houses two miles away from slums and those slums somehow are mostly African Americans and you find this in states like Connecticut that consider themselves liberal or democrats but in reality they just as bad as the people they claim to be against. Don’t worry Westport,fairfield,greenwich CT people a, black lives matter sign outside your mansion will totally fix it. Healthcare costs, led paint boomers and gen x sociopaths that complain about not having enough but they own everything. Guns galore, school shootings, teachers getting shit pay, religion being built into laws and public schools. I can go all day!
I know you are making fun and all, but things like this are indeed reproduced.
Basicly it’s a process of cultural and collective copy and pasting, where media and indivulas reproduce a concept by either activly using it (or not) or passives acepting it.
It’s a bit more complex than that, but you probably get the idea.
