She's right, it is classist. The North East is one of the most deprived and overlooked parts of the UK and our accent routinely mocked. Also it's not "us" as in plural - I'm from the North East and if I said something like, "pass us the remote control" it wouldn't quite be the same sound as the word "us". More like "ez", where I'd pronounce "us" like "uss".They are talking about exactly this. This is the story that came before that comment

She can absolutely duck off anyway. I'm sure she'd find a way for an English person hating her accent to be oppressive.
And she's somehow made the cognitive leap that it sounds manipulative (to her) because of some trauma? Have these people bleeping heard themselves, honestly.
Jesus, it is exactly what I feared.They are talking about exactly this. This is the story that came before that comment

Thing is, it is okay to hate little things like this but most of us just let little things grate on us but we never mention it outloud, let alone broadcast it on social media to thousands of strangers.
It is hilarious to wonder why she felt the need to note that she is Danish and therefore doesn't have the same perceptions but then disclaim that she loves the rest of the dialect.
Did they ever actually get into why they dislike it so much? Seems bizarre. And also kind of irrelevant because I think most northerners wouldn't spell it as 'can you help us' but 'can you help is' almost.
Not being funny but Sofie is 100% the type to go off on a twitter rant about someone who doesn't understand they/them pronouns because they're claiming it is only plural but now it seems sofie cannot fathom that this wouldn't be talking in the plural. Baffling.
ETA - I wonder if they've ever met someone from Yorkshire where it is quite common to say things like 'Let wuh get past' - as in 'let me get past' but i think is closer to sounding plural than their north eastern example.
I've not listened to the newest episode since she went on an extended break but I was sad to see that she's renamed the podcast to Who Hurt You. I know she has trauma, but... not everyone does? I mean, sure everyone has been hurt by someone at some time but it somehow just feels very victim-y as a title? Maybe she explains it in the intro? I confess I'd usually skip the first 10 minutes of each episode as it would be so boring and filled with her nonsense!
Agree with you 100%
Also, I'd love to hear them recount the tale of being traumatised by a northener. I also would like to meet the northerner responsible and buy them a pint for the sole reason that they've clearly not done anything wrong other than speak with an accent so strong that it is somehow manipulative.
Doesn't she have a friend called JustineUpNorth or something that she always (used to? I can't recall her being mentioned recently) talk about being one of her closest friends? Couldn't she have asked her about this? I realise Sofie loves an excuse to ask people to reply to her so that she can tell them that they're wrong but this whole thing is so weird. Especially to then try and blame it on her trauma, just so odd.
Precisely she is Danish, not English. She can find accents funny (or just don't understand them sometimes, like myself
) but who is she to judge? She is just haughty af, like she comes from Danish royalty herself lolI actually think this is pretty tone deaf for someone as woke and right on as she is. She is a wealthy white person living a privileged life in London and the accent she's hating for reasons she can't identify just so happens, by pure chance, to be a typical working class accent from the poorest part of the UK.
Maybe I've got a chip on my shoulder but I've seen how people like me (and other working class Northerners) are sometimes treated because no matter how educated we are, you walk into a room in a corporate environment in London with my accent and everyone knows you aren't like them.
It's needlessly annoyed me this. I think it just typifies how this sort of Instagram dipshits brand if "intersectionality" always seems to conveniently disregard social class.

Perhaps a donation to a North East based arts charity? Maybe platform a creative with the accent you've dragged?* Nope, doubt it, just more rubbish about how these dialects stem from Norse. I've just caught up on the stories and that rubbed me totally the wrong way. The fact that she has tried to justify it and get all academic about the roots of the dialects. *(FYI I wouldn't expect them to do those things but after-all they were the one that mentioned remedying the situation...)
Not only does it seem very holier-than-thou but a totally inaccessible dissection of it all. Taking something already inherently classist and making it needlessly complicated and trying to earn 'woke' points from it. Shut up.

Also after the whole tirade about 'not being an activist' any more! Sofie plays up being woke when it suits them so they can feel superior, but still gets away with dismissing people's concerns about other issues when they don't want to engage/don't care.I'm interested to know how she thinks she can 'make this right' now that she has 'done the work'

I honestly don’t understand who’s still following her, she is so rude and argumentative over the tiniest thing
exactly, they get offended about everything but somehow it is okay to make statements like this belittiling regional dialects. Why should someone like sofie insist people use "they" for one person (which I am totally okay with) then complain about others; langauge use?
My thoughts exactly. It is SO hypocritical! But hypocrisy seems to be her thing, so at least she's on brand
How could she not forsee that her dog would need treatment and to check that she could get insurance due to his breed?! I know she says the insurance informed her they would definitely pay out but you've got to know they will jump through hoops to not have too.
Idea: if you need money, just promote your work for a week or so and don't mention why you're doing it
But I guess that's not as easy as getting strangers on the internet to pay your bills for you.

Ugh I hate the way she acts holier than thou but then schills just as hard for free stuff and money as much as any other influencer.
Who are the fools asking for her PayPal?!
Majorly cringing. Idk who these idiots are paying for her normal cost of living, I would have to be the landed gentry before I’d even think of donating a penny to a MC “creative”?!
