Fantasy rednecks
Infynis, 
My last character was an orphan (or course), taken in by a dwarf clan, where he worked alongside them in the mines. So, naturally, he was Appalachian
PugJesus, 
You're doing God's work - an Appalachian
Infynis, As a Undying Warlock/Death Cleric, he was definitely doing someone’s work lol
yamapikariya, 
What a gross crop
Whisper06, An elf with a heavy Southern California accent.
Kolanaki, 
Valley Girl Elf. Actually, I think I’ve seen that done somewhere… 🤔
ThatFembyWho, Ever been to Tennessee? You really don’t want that lol
unreasonabro, guess they missed True Blood
octoperson, Has nobody here seen The Wizard of Oz?
cosmicrookie, 
Because English speaking viewers don’t want to read subtitles
accidentalloris, Do you know where Tennessee is?
Powerpoint, Yes. Subtitles would still be required
Kedly, Theres not enough guns in Fantasy stories to warrant a redneck accent
RIP_Cheems, 
I know of one.
TheDarksteel94, There’s a DnD podcast called “Not Another DnD Podcast”, where one of the characters is a redneck elf. That one’s played by Emily Axford, who’s also part of D20: open.spotify.com/show/5GcTIDkgnB9wP6CmUyOSqa?si=2…
AWittyUsername, Tolkien, the father of modern fantasy based Middle Earth a lot on old Britain and the affects industrialisation was having.
I’d love to see more fantasy based on Native American mythology for sure.
QuandaleDingle, Native American culture is slept on, fr.
Death_Equity, Aztec sacrificing intensifies in the background unnoticed
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, I absolutely despise how 99% of native American fantasy representation in media is some variation of a wendigo.
lemmyviking, 
Definitely listen to the audible book The Hum and the Shiver it has fairies in the Appalachian mountains and definitely has red-neck voiced fairies.
BaardFigur, It’s british because it’s based on medieval times, when USA (or Australia/New Zealand for that matter) was yet to be permanently settled by europeans.
It’s not a different european language, because english has become the lingua franca of the world.
qbus, So you want Neil Stephen’s American gods? got it
mambabasa, 
Neil Gaiman
Honytawk, Fantasy is based upon the middle ages.
During the middle ages the US did not exist.
lanolinoil, 
Iroquois Confederacy would like a word…
HardNut, The middle ages ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople, which coincided with the birth of the Renaissance in Italy having already taken place.
The Iroquois Confederacy was founded (most likely) in the 1500s, with the earliest record of the first capital being in 1609.
The United States itself was founded in the 1700s.
Their comment was correct, the Iroquois Confederacy was founded during the age of the Renaissance and our modern conception of America came much later
lanolinoil, Yeah I was just being silly
yoreel, How dare you
Colour_me_triggered, Also, why are all dwarfs Scottish?
Glitterkoe, You can’t pick a Scottish accent for your character in Baldurs Gate 3 and now my Dwarf just sounds British. It sounds, well… off
CurlyMoustache, 
Because they save money on the makeup budget
Death_Equity, I lol’d.
Damdy, Apparently, Tolkien’s dwarven language just naturally works well with a Scottish accent. Earlier radio, tv, readings leant into this and other writings including fantasy dwarves followed suit.
uis, 
Because both are proud and mountanious nations?
mambabasa, Dwarves have American accents in Dragon Age!
KeisukeTakatou, It just sounds right.
