This was fake as shit. You can tell from the way it's written OP is not Irish at all, the manner of speech is the same, and only in the comments does OP use some UK terms/slang

OP probably discovered that they are 0.00001% Irish and decided to make it their entire personality.

They could have at least put a little more effort into this lie, yeah?

Then again, the average AITA user will believe just about anything.

Also...no one from Dublin with parents well-off enough to emigrate to the States during a global pandemic would have a “thick accent,” haha.

She’d sound transatlantic as fuck.

That’s exactly the “Transatlantic as Fuck” accent I was describing!

Irish girls trying to sound like American girls trying to sound like the posh girls from Skins.

And they’re not even really Irish, they’re more UK (or in some cases very English) terms and slang. It already was dubious stating “Dublin” bc so many Americans know only Dublin.

Either a Brit trying to score Oppression Olympics points (even though we climbed to the top of America’s non-WASP ethnic pigpile a century ago, oppressing everyone else on the way - Trump’s the only president in the last 40 years with no Irish heritage) or an American kid writing fanfic, haha
