I was told that Southern Chinese accents do not sound good on men, and Taiwanese accents could come across as “feminine”-sounding. It seems like Taiwan is also the only place in Asia where gay marriage is legal, so there seems to be some logic in that. Not prejudiced or anything, but I’m not spending thousands to send my son overseas so he can sound gay.
They are so prejudiced
Northern accents are apparently more masculine, hence our choice in Japan, a northern masculine country.

They are so prejudiced
