Is it normal that i don't understand the british accent fetish issue?
So, I am not a native English speaker, but I have studied it for several years. I learned British English at institutes and later practiced by watching American films and series.
Personally, I never liked the British accent and I always tried to get rid of it. Without getting into any arguments, I just think that American sounds more "neutral" and draws less attention.
However, after moving to Europe, I realized for the first time that people actually have a weird fetish for British accents. I have seen that in movies before, but I honestly thought they were being ironic.
Well, first of all, I think liking any person for their accent is kind of stupid and extremely superficial. But my main questions are (to British people or people with British accent), are you self-aware of your accent?, what do you think about it? and, what do you think of people that have a kink for your accent?
