There is a drawl that is required to mark the South and where in the South can change that dramatically.
I am use to a Western sound to it. We don't have a drawl like the South. But we have a sound to ourselves that is a mix of North and Texas. I guess a little of the Spanish accent if you are from that part of time.
I hardly ever hear the word y'all out loud in California.
Although today a few teenagers had a quiet and intense conversation while they walked by me.
I wondered what it was about after I heard one of them say, "No no, I don't wanna mess up my life or nothin'. It's fine."
And then his friend shouted back, "THEN WHY Y'ALL SELLIN' DRUGS?"
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
But especially not from the south; I do not feel at home or comfortable when I've visited there.
it's like 35% of the country, what are you even talking about.
Unless you've spent a couple of years traveling so you have some idea of the difference in the regions or something to underpin this?
I mean like, what have you got against:
Athens, GA
Memphis, TN
Austin, TX
Miami, FL
Raleigh, NC
New Orleans, LA
Biloxi, MI
that you can lump them all together (along with everything south of Kentucky from the mid Atlantic coast to the Mexico border) and say you don't want to sound like you're from any of them?
I mean, damn. I knew you were racist against void champs but this is quite an opinion you have.

I've been looked down on by a lot of people before I cultivated an accent that would get people to stop assuming I was an imbecile, but it's been a long long while since somebody just came right out and said it.

And is only part of the south in a geographic sense.

Correct, I do not want to sound like I am from any of the places you mentioned.
Beyond having a kneejerk dislike of the South, largely based in stereotypes, I am *not from* anywhere that uses y'all, so if I were to use it, it would be affected, and the intent would be for me to indicate that I was from somewhere I am not (whether southern or western).

way to list all the major metropolitan areas and not
Bucksnort, TN
Big Bone Lick, KY
Big Lick, TX
et cetera
I mean, metro areas are part of the south. Also I skipped the really big ones like Atlanta or Houston, and the very different ones like Galveston or Lafayette or Key West.
But Bucksnort TN is quite pleasant if y'all are into whitetail.

While I'm not sure I'm comfortable with everything else that's going on
You are saying "Here is a thing I did, and now credeiki is doing it and it's shitty of her"
Because she is just saying she doesn't want to be associated with that! Which you obviously don't either! That is somewhat orthogonal to people being dicks about areas of origin, I think.
Y'all necessarily indicates cultural affiliation with some parts of the US though. Since I am not affiliated with those parts, I'd rather not use it.
Maybe in the future it will be more widely adopted.
hahaah
the most roundabout way to say you don't want to sound like a redneck or like you're from the south
that's kind of upsetting, to be honest. Whats the term?
problematic.
I'm not sure how that could be considered problematic. We all make personal vernacular choices based on the affiliations we intend to communicate, and there are plenty of valid reasons not to want to communicate "Southern-ness"; primarily, one might imagine, not being from the South.

My girlfriend crashed at my place last night. She was waiting for her Lyft when I left for work in the morning. When I got home, there was a cute note and she'd cleaned the kitchen. Including stuff that we didn't mess up when cooking dinner last night!
This is as adorable as it is deeply shameful; I'll need to step up my cleanliness game if I'm going to keep having her over.

Miami is a shithole.
all of those metropolitian areas are surrounded by miles and miles of... well... decidedly less cosmopolitan people.

Dude, I am not saying it's bad for you to have a southern accent. I'm saying it would make no sense for me to have one, or to use the speech patterns associated with it, because the only time I have been to the south was on vacation to the beach in NC and for a wedding and a couple of conferences.
Also obviously I know that every place has a whole distribution of people, so even if the overall culture over this huge geographic region on average somewhat skews towards directions I don't like, that doesn't really mean anything...

I can guarantee you that 90% of those upper-middle class (or just plain rich) Latin American immigrants to Miami haven't read a book in the last year (excepting Argentina, I guess). It's that bad.
