Now If the story or game I wrote had a guy who was supposed to be from Texas as the only one who's dialogue is represented that way, and meanwhile everyone else talks normally, you're going to think that me, the ignorant ass who wrote that, thinks that all Texans must speak like that.
I'd just see the character who speaks with that accent as having a much thicker Texan (well, Southern) accent, provided you are able to write the accent in with the proper phonetics.
No SHIT! The british would hear their own spoken language when they read the text! That's what I have been saying all along! So would the Aussies and so would anyone else. Do Aussies hear themselves when they read Kid? NO, they read what Americans think they sound like when regular spelling is standard American English.
Alright, look, we already agree that we hear our native accents in all the characters. You're assuming that just cause this one character has a highlighted Australian accent, that all Australian characters would sound that way. We don't even have proof that there are no other characters speaking with an Australian accent. Kidd's accent is supposed to sound stereotypical, but if I were an Australian and I felt that it was done poorly, then yes, I agree that it'd be an ignorant depiction of the accent, but I wouldn't assume that they think
all Australians sound that way--just Kidd.

The accent you provided for yourself isn't the Standard American accent, so how is that a representation of an American accent? It's a representation of your accent. Both the Standard American accent and the Standard English accent can pronounce the phonemes properly, it's the rise and change in pitch or tone that differentiates them...regional dialects, like the "Texan" accent we've used remove certain vowels and sounds in certain words, writing it out is just a chore.
Anyhow, I get what you're saying, if I were to read an accent that was done poorly (like Luccia's), then I'd see it as an ignorant depiction of that accent, especially if that was
my accent. Kidd's wasn't too terrible though, I suppose that's where the fallout of this discussion came from.
