I codeswitched for a long time, because early on in my costume career when I was a Costume PA, a Costume Supervisor and Designer who I was working with called the way I spoke 'ghetto' and 'off putting.' So I literally adopted a different way of speaking, including trying to hide my accent and the way I came across so I was more palatable.
Vtubing gave me back my confidence and has allowed me to be myself more than ever before, unapologetically and I am so grateful for that. β₯
Don't ever let anyone make you feel bad for having an accent. You should be proud, and celebrate your accent, because accents are cool and awesome.
