The whole thread of the tweet though...

blaccent = black accent?

[ShayCristoforo 10,223]

If it’s not a product of her home environment, it’s a blaccent. 

Can’t say for sure. But Billie Eilish is definitely guilty of it.

I don't know much about Olivia Rodrigo but this Twitter user seems a bit... too pressed, almost. I mean, that video is one thing but to attach those other tweets to it is definitely another

Imagine being this pressed

[RainingOnMe 7,184]

Stay mad. Olivia is unbothered

[Dante 878]

God America is so pathetic when it comes to **** like this

[Reality 65,696]

This is not an issue.

[BradleyCooper 1,783]

Billie does it all the time I don’t think either of them go far enough to be an issue

Then again, it's a question of how much is being a culture culture and how much is genuine, and I don't think I can answer that question because I don't live in the U.S. or anywhere English is the main language. 

 

The English I have learned does include AAVE, for example, because I learned it through media and not from an academic medium. What would that mean in the US context?

Its how kids who don’t know any better are being taught to speak by the internet

Genuine question: what if it’s not her home environment, but cultural environment? I mean, could it be that these teenagers are so influenced by Black culture from the Internet that they unintentionally adapt it?

Kind of like, English is not my first language, so I didn’t even know it when I was a kid (let alone spoke it with any kind of accent). Then at the age of like 8 I started learning it and I was actually taught British English. But now I speak with an American accent because pretty much everything I consume in English comes from the US. You know what I mean? It’s not intentional.

It's embarrassing but not cancel-worthy at all
