is kyoto dialect supposed to be to sound sarcastic or something different?, genuine questionnn
Well, it’s not that the dialect is sarcastic - it’s that the people in Kyoto has a reputation for being a bunch of condescending backtalkers - Kyoto was Japan’s imperial capital for 1300 years but for about 1000 of it, it was a national capital in name only. The emperor, the bureaucrats and the aristocracy is based there (along with a majority of the wealth) but the actual governance took place with the Samurai boys in either Edo or Kamkura castle. Either both the emperor and the shogun agrees and things get done, or they disagree and either ignore each other or they engage in proxy wars against each other, and it was the case all the way to 1867 when the Shogunate was abolished (mostly because the Samurai demonstrated weakness to outside powers and made themselves irrelevant)
In a large chunk of Japanese history it was the aristocrats in Kyoto playing political games with the bureaucracy while simultaneously making backroom deals with whatever samurai families out there to get an edge over the other, and as such, today’s political enemies might be tomorrow’s boss, and Kyoto folks are almost always seen by outsiders (even in modern times) as hedging their bets for survival…not unpleasant to outsiders, but condescending, hard to read and likely holding a hidden agenda.
