[QUOTE="Khelon Testudo, post: 8138160, member: 7017360"] On the one hand, I understand people being uncomfortable with their accent being... portrayed poorly. It can be bloody annoying. (As an Aussie, I should know - only the best of English actors can do it half-way right!) On the other hand, if you're sitting around the table in the privacy of your own basement, and no-one there has the accent you're trying to convey, I don't see the harm unless there is a real attempt to mock. I mean, it's not theatrical work or the like, where you're playing a role someone could do better in because of their life experience - or even should be given to someone of that culture because minority roles are so rare. It's just you and your friends. Although some accents would be more problematic than others, for historical reasons. 'Ebonics', Native American (which IRL would be more than one accent), and German come to mind for different reasons. [/QUOTE]
