That doesn't change the argument. Bland and cringe are also not like each other. I'm all for you criticizing something because it's different than you, but at least use your language consistently and properly. How would anyone interpret a secondary analogy without knowing how you personally react? It already has a clear meaning on its surface. Occam's razor would indicate that's enough. Why would anyone invent a second possible scenario that's only knowable if you have access to information that isn't well known, and in this case, near certainty of being unknown? Just say hearing the accent from some other country makes you cringe. Communication doesn't have to be difficult unless you make it so.
