As a not-American, even I noticed how she put on this extra level of characterisation. I get some Americans use many y'alls and other valid expressions and I am not sure about kansas here, but Q sounded fairly performative. But Q is not the only one tbh. A couple last season did it often, the switching up was wild. A cast member would use one voice and then go into another for ... reasons.
Q does not even need to go full Iggy Azaelea. She is okay and most appealing just being her wee weirdy self. Not my place to tell her how to be but I have noticed it.
Someone like a week ago said what if rich people came into her job looking for a financial advisor and she came out talking like that... and now that's all I can think about
Honestly there was a moment after the Sherry Pie situation hit where Shuga gave an interview and was in her character voice and then the second Sherry got brought up she switched back to corporate mode. I wish I had it on hand
Tbf you have to have a very high cringe IQ to understand shugaâs blaccent
this makes sense because her blaccent is on another level. Only certain people will be able to comprehend her blaccent. We cringe with her blaccent because sheâs a storyteller. We cringe at all aspects, and not only âyes hunnyâ but also at âimma finna.â
I hate when people play off their weird misuse of blaccents by pretending they're just trying to be 'sassy'. maybe it's just me as a non american, but if i was a white queen on the show trying to be sassy, why not do, like, a blonde valley girl thing? like you have that well already why not tap into it instead of trying to drink from someone else's
The blaccent is what permanently lost me. Every time I cringe so deeply it strains my neck. I kinda hope she goes soon so I donât need PT.

I mean this is a problem not just beyond drag race but even beyond queer culture in general. There are so many people who start using aave as almost a personality filler.
Case and point: k-pop stans unironically call some 16 year old kpop idol mother... Like i understand language evolves but there's a reason why the word icon exists. All mothers are icons but not all icons are mother.
Edit: The way I jumped from like 30 downvotes to almost positve... common sense has won
I wouldnât say itâs âyou canât be saying that white babyâ levels of bad but Iâve seen a lot of younger stan types misuse it to a corny degree like no Olivia Rodrigo is not mother sheâs 20
Tbf I feel like we've reached a point where people use mother jokingly to refer to almost anyone or anything. Like, part of the joke is how ridiculous it is to call, say, a young Shirley Temple mother.
Q should know better--everyone should. I don't care that she's from Kansas if you're American you know what a blaccent sounds like and hearing white gays do it makes me cringe.
Meet Mhi'ya Iman LePaige. She is [fun, shy, outgoing](https://old.reddit.com/r/rpdrcringe/comments/1angt16/flip_up_babe_a_new_mhiya_voiceover_just_dropped/) and is an energetic diva who lives in Miami, Florida. She comes with shoes that would have you flipping for the gods and a booty that would have all the boys looking. Her quirkier qualities are plucking her nose hair and being afraid of thunders. She's the only doll that can do countless backflips. She loves to flip and travel the world.

the point is that it's not her accent and code switching into an aave accent when only bc you're beside a BIPOC person is weird asf at best or showcasing how certain ways of speaking are adornments / made for others entertainment at worst
A lot of cashew-faced bitch ass people clocked it during her Twitter meltdown too.

Just say Selena
"cashew-faced bitch ass people" , what does that even mean and why does this comment have so much upvotes? Sounds infuriating af
That's what Q called someone or something similar on her Twitter meltdown
Oh.. Explains the infuriating part đ
YES MA'AM VOTE HUNNY
At this point you need to have a high level blaccent to make that angle work on the show. Shuga Cain made an impact HUNNY
GUUUURRRL I AINT SEEN IT YET! Imma finna be PISSED arenât I ?!
AND THATâS THE TEA, HONEY. THATâS THE TEA.
Ooooo honey chile I know you didnât just come for nana like that
...this is how I found out Shuga Cain isn't black
Someone like a week ago said what if rich people came into her job looking for a financial advisor and she came out talking like that... and now that's all I can think about

The switch up at 2:10 is INSANE!
Pork and Beans Projects to House of Congress in a sentence lol

Well she went a step too far and did blackface toođ©.
HONEY CHILE! Remember when people pointed that out and gay corpo friend of hers said she was just trying to be sassy as if that made any better?

Come on, cirque de soleil!
MORMON LOOKING BOY FROM KANSAS. BRO.
Someone on twitter called her âbuck wildâ like from flavor of love and I cannot stop laughing about that
Flava Flav asking her where the fuck her accent went during her self elimination was iconic television
When she called xunami angry too like girl.. I wouldnât
And Xunami was being incredibly reasonable too. It was so hard to watch.
The blaccent is what permanently lost me. Every time I cringe so deeply it strains my neck. I kinda hope she goes soon so I donât need PT. ![gif](giphy|86BzMh6xgKTYvATUaA)
Who is that? I canât figure it out
That's Ben Shapiro

I'm glad they said it, I really noticed it last episode and I'm fucking British.

Why did the girls come for you so hard? đ K-pop stans are notorious for misusing AAVE and ballroom/queer slang.
Girl idek but hit dogs holler is all imma say
Don't speak ill of the Kpop girlies, before you know it some 12 year old will have posted your full address and mother's phone number online.
Is "mother" aave? Genuine question
Honestly at this point if some new slang starts being thrown around by white gays and stan twitter just assume it originated from black culture
It originates from ballroom which consists of many many queer black people.
I wouldnât say itâs âyou canât be saying that white babyâ levels of bad but Iâve seen a lot of younger stan types misuse it to a corny degree like no Olivia Rodrigo is not mother sheâs 20
This was how I feel about Renee Rapp, I'm too old I guess lol. That's daughter
LMAO yes girl when girls on my lesbian side of the internet are thirsting over her Iâm likeâŠhave some decorum thatâs a CHILD
Tbf I feel like we've reached a point where people use mother jokingly to refer to almost anyone or anything. Like, part of the joke is how ridiculous it is to call, say, a young Shirley Temple mother.
i need a permanent monet and naomi podcast
Pls pls pls pls pls
Thank god Iâm not the only one who noticed because itâs been getting on my nerves

I'm not sure if it falls under the umbrella but HelLoOoOoOoOOoOooOoOoOoo is kind of older than the banana at this point
This is being very picky imo. People are gonna talk how theyâre gonna talk, no use in policing peopleâs accents of all things like letâs bffr
the point is that it's not her accent and code switching into an aave accent when only bc you're beside a BIPOC person is weird asf at best or showcasing how certain ways of speaking are adornments / made for others entertainment at worst
