Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
I didn't think that we were ever supposed to take Mizu as being male. Just the characters in the show are, because (as mentioned) women doing these things is so uncommon right now that they're going "this person must be a man"

Thinking of it as a way for the show to show us how different this setting is in just another way.

Since Fowler has a Norn accent I assumed he was from there and probably won't care what happens to Catholics in Ireland.
I don't expect them to go down that route (that someone mentioned before)

However, I REALLY hope they explore that in series 2 that'd be absolutely incredible

Honestly, I don't think more than like five million people in the world can even tell the difference. Probably way less back then.

Are you kidding me

And it doesn't matter if you can tell the difference it's about who he will be and what that means for the character

Fowler ate his sister as a starving child during the Nine Years' War, which laid the way for the (genocidal) Protestant colonisation that created the enclave we now think of as 'Northern Ireland'. He wouldn't have any reason to identify with the English settlers who took over his home during his lifetime. Having an Ulster accent had extremely different implications in the 17th century.

He clearly sees himself as part of the Empire though from what he says and does
I guess we don't know WHERE in Ulster he's from

Fair enough, but I really think you're overestimating people's ability to discern European English accents.

People here would, but like I say it doesn't really matter if you know what accents are like, americans are p.rubbish at it usually
