      This actually is true with my younger relatives and certain words, and they're from Louisiana. They say radio, mirror, people, figure, and a bunch of other words all British and it's definitely because of Peppa Pig lmao. I also caught one of them once saying "post box" when referring to a mail box. Except I think it's kind of charming.

      British kids show Teletubbies was all dubbed over with newly recorded American accents when broadcast in the US a couple of decades ago. Weird xenophobia against other anglo countries in children's television has been a thing in the US for a long time.

        They did that with Spot the Dog and some BBC documentaries. Strangely enough, Kipper the Dog and Oswald the Octopus kept their accents.

    media making kids get accents from other places is one of my favorite things, portuguese parents have been constantly mad at brazilian youtubers for this exact reason (to be fair to us though WE ARE THE BIGGER COUNTRY WE ARE THE METROPOLIS NOW LUSO LOSERS)

        even on that situation we will keep winning this one until president xi finally releases us from this mortal coil and free us restless souls from the tropical hell, and if that happened i think angola should probably get the metropolis stuff they deserve it more

    Extremely critical support to :aus-delenda-est: and :ukkk: for annoying Americans by giving their children even worse accents than they already had?

    might just always talk in an australian accent in front of my future kid for their first 10 years so they're stuck with it

    My younger relatives will occasionally say things in a sudden British accent because they watch Peppa Pig so much. I don't think they even realize they're using a specific accent. They're from Louisiana by the way so it's wonderful hearing their little cajun ass south Louisiana accents suddenly go all British.
