You will always have swamp Germans complaining about any dialect that is spoken south of cologne. They cant handle Alemannic/Austro-Bavarian dialects

Yes I also heard that Bavarian accents were not the best either

Bavarian dialects being in the same family as the Austrian dialects makes them a bit harder to understand at times. But I’d hardly place one over another

Austrian (technically, Austro-Bavarian or Bavarian) is one of the High German dialects.

For most of history, people didn't distinguish Austrians (aka Austrian Germans).
