What do you think about what seems like one sided banter between Western Australians and the rest of Australians online?
I’ve noticed online, especially on r/perth, that there seems to be this ongoing banter between Western Australians and people from the rest of the country, but sometimes it comes across as a bit one sided.
From the outside, it feels like WA picks on people from the Eastern States more than they dish back. I get that a lot of it is probably just harmless humor, but I’m curious how it’s actually perceived by people in Australia.
Do people in the Eastern States generally find it funny and take part in it, or does it ever get a bit old or annoying? And for those on the west coast, do you see it as just normal Aussie banter, or is there a bit of a real divide underneath it?
