Thread: Is Cid Highwind a "redneck?"

  1. #1

    Default Is Cid Highwind a "redneck?"

    The accent that he speaks with kinda reminds me of redneck people from the Deep Southern region of the United States. Is he a redneck?
    Is that your final answer?

    He speaks like retired Navy from the mid-west. I wouldn't say he sounds anything like the Deep South. Besides, rednecks aren't rocket scientists.

    He has a Southern accent in the film, but he's not a redneck. A hothead, sure, but being poorly educated is a significant aspect of people being typically called a redneck, and Cid is really, really, well-educated, obviously.

    No, and I'm not sure why they made him sound like one in Dirge/Advent Children.

    Yes he is, and so am I.

    But then, I'm biased, as I'm from Montana-- specifically a city that doubles as both a farm town and a university town-- land of the oh so elusive but indeed existing Educated, Intelligent Redneck. (Assuming we don't automatically mean Redneck = South, that is. That depends on who you ask, I guess.)

    Cid is a bit of a badass if you ask me.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Well actually, now there's a show on the National Geographic channel called The Rocket City Rednecks.
    Is that your final answer?

    That show and I have very different definitions for the word redneck.

    So because he has a Southern accent that automatically makes him a redneck?

    There is no evidence to this. I have never seen him with a Confederate flag on his airship, or attending Nascar rallies.

    Maybe to Japanese men in the 90's.

    There's plenty of space around Rocket Town to build a Nascar track too.
