Theirs is a tough guy accent. It comes across as argumentative and aggressive. Are they really tougher than the rest?

What do you mean by their accent? It's actually a gradient from the local working class one (not a lot of people actually speaks it now) to the non-local upper class one. I guess the one thing common to them is that they all don't merge cot and caught.
Our most brvtal hitters are soft spoken Midwesterners. These guys are the ones who turn entire cities to ash without losing a wink of sleep but wont say a curse word.
what the cast of Sopranos speaks, that's a Nu Yawk eccent, buddy
Where are the twin towers?
I can't see them.
The president of America has one, it's embarrassing!
(not a lot of people actually speaks it now
Yes they do, it's not dying at all
No, that's a new jersey accent. There's a difference
The entire east coast has an east coast accent, I don't know what you're talking about
What is the difference? Jersey and Long Island seem like they are the thickest accents
NOO YAWK

It's the West Coast where they all have the same accent, the East Coast has several different accents even though they die out currently.
That reads like Bawston
arr rook same
In my experience, they're just as tough as any other Americans from big east coast cities
You have to be pretty self-assured and unafraid to survive in those places
Boston accent is better
It's literally just a broken British accent though.
Yet nobody gets it right in tv except cancelled pedo Casey Affleck
Which British accent though?
There are differences, I'm not going to type out a linguistic thesis just Google it
Why do you anglophones always play fools about that? The British English, the one of London, the received pronunciation.
No it the fuck isn't
You don't know what you're talking about russkie
Well there's different British accents. RP, Brummie, Scouse, etc
Well to my ears and I'm sure most native English speakers, those two accents are very different
That didn't help, it just differentiated between south Jersey (Philly) and north Jersey (NYC)
It absolutely is, all traditional Northeastern American English is this.
They're indeed different but one derives from another.
Nay not really. Lurk more, regional accents of England are perceived worse than most foreign accents in the UK.
not at all
you could say that the stereotypical American accent is kind of an evolution from one of the regional British accents (you're russian, so you probably played Stronghold, remember the Pikeman accent?)
That being said Boston and MA in general is too different. I went to a clam chowder place in Salem once and the waitress talked so stereotypically bawston, i couldn't believe my ears, i thought she was fucking with me, shit sounds fictional
All Russians accents are the same
this is actually true
the stereotypical American accent
This is a blend of Irish English, West Country English, and older West Midlands English.
Boston and MA in general is too different
Yeah that's what I meant. The accents of the Northeast derive directly from the London accents that were more fashionable at the time.
The Russian language has only a single pronunciation standard if that's what you mean.
There's no regional variants in the Russian language?
No. Poor people may pronounce G as H but that's pretty much it.
Well that's boring
I take the train an hour and a half to NYC once or twice a week but I live upstate so I’m not biased. I think New Yorkers are resilient (not talking about rich transplants from around the country who happen to live there I mean real New Yorkers) but not necessarily “tough”. They have a little more of a shield up and they can take a harsher life than most other people, but they’re not like Ahnenerbean super-soldier tier
Also New Yorkers will “check” you way more than anywhere else. If you’re staring at someone they’ll tell you to fuck off or if you’re standing in a busy subway not moving, you will be pushed out of the way
No, that's actually good. Standardized language that have only one way of pronouncing things like Russian, French, and Spanish are better than pluricentric languages like English and German.
no wonder you like that commie
Are you from New England perchance?
Yes and I have a standard American accent, a lot of people here don't though
Do you know how I knew you're from there? You're a cunt!
Suck a bag of dicks, I'm going to rape you wicked hard
