  • I couldn’t think of a bad argument until I read your comment.

    Back when Overwatch was pretty new, they just released Ana, an Egyptian support character. I was browsing the overwatch subreddit and people talked about how accurately the voice actors were in the game. All the characters come from different places and some of the voice lines are dubbed and some of them are in their native language. Anyway, people praised the accuracy and i said that might be true, but Mercy is from Switzerland, Zürich to be precise and her voice lines are german. To be really accurate, she should have swiss german voice lines. But the voice actress is german-american.

    I thought that was a reasonable thing to point out, it wasn’t a complaint or anything, it was just that people called the voice lines 100% accurate and glazed blizzard for it.

    People called me dumb and told me that i have no idea what i’m talking about. I told them that i live here, and i would probably know. Even after my “i literally live here” comment, people were like: i think people in Switzerland also speak german. Yes, i know, but they don’t just speak it for fun. They also speak french, Italian and romansh, but we’re talking about a woman who lives in Zürich, where i live. But i was still wrong apparently and people explained to me what language i speak aktually and why i’m wrong.
