Our "French" accent is harsh and grating, the exact opposite of that smooth, silky bullshit that Xmen peddles. Ironically the best representation of how everyone in Louisiana talks is the "you like to see homos naked?" guy from Joe Dirt. People like that did exist, but there is a reason why its only seen in the elderly.
Because no one speaks Cajun French anymore to begin with. We all learn a handful of common words we still use, and then just speak English peppered with them. Its a dead language (thanks to the American Government), and its accent was taken with it.
And people wonder why the Quebecois have tongue troopers.
But they're too stupid to realize that they're not importing people who speak Quebecois French specifically (which is known for some particularly blasphemous swears.)
Looks at black cat, also rembers 90s Xmen and where I developed a thing for women with a southern accent...
The 90s was really the apex of ALL western media wasn't it?
Xmen is responsible for both men and women thinking those are Southern accents, when the only people who speak like that are 60+ and usually black.
Which if that's your thing good on ya, but Gambit and the rest are literally just NYC/Hollywood faking a culture they hate.
I've been to New Orleans a few times and never heard a single person speak with a French accent.
I get that the area has strong French roots, and maybe there used to be a prominent French minority there, but now it's mostly just blacks.
