My best friend recently came out as francais. Well, he used to be my best friend.
Now we’re just amis sharing the ménage of trois.
Did you never notice it when he kissed you?
It used to just be on the lips, but now it’s on both cheeks. It makes me uncomfortable.
More than friends, less than lovers?
That’s disgusting! He’s FRENCH!
There are only two things I can’t stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures, and the D̶u̶t̶c̶h̶ French.
J’suis pas le seul français ici apparement

Bless you
Bien sûr que non, vive la république et vive la France! 🇲🇫 😉
Non on est nombreux
Nah, fuck the fr*nch
The French get a bad rep, they riot for anti-worker bullshit, they helped the US win the revolution,and they didn’t go along with dubya’s stupid Iraq war
I’ve never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.

Lived in Paris for a year and this is 100% the reason, according to Parisian waitstaff I knew. Same for the Brits.
Apparently the reason is the french motto “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”
They take that shit seriously. Every job is equally valuable and to be respected. You speak to and treat a waiter or a cleaner the same way you speak to a doctor or a lawyer, they’re all égal humans
A sizeable portion of American and British tourists treat waitstaff like animals, and cleaners as though they don’t exist, then wonder why they’re rude to them
It’s égalité, and yous started it, yous cunts 😂
Well said.
The current bad reputation of the French is mostly because of WW2. They surrendered after only 6 weeks of fighting and then heavily collaborated with the Nazis. French collaboration was so heartfelt that they refused to hand over their navy to the British when requested to do so. They even fired on American ships and troops in North Africa when the Americans arrived to liberate them from German occupation.
The French were also enthusiastic participants in the Final Solution. According to Wikipedia, “the Nazis in France relied to a considerable extent on the co-operation of local authorities to carry out what they called the Final Solution. The government of Vichy France and the French police organized and implemented the roundups of Jews.”
After the war, De Gaulle promoted the narrative that the French heroically resisted the Nazis, but this was not at all true. The famous French Resistance was tiny until the last part of the war, and only grew once it became clear that Germany would lose. The French government also denied their role in the Holocaust for over 50 years until 1995 when Jacques Chirac finally admitted that, “[T]hose black hours soiled our history forever. … [T]he criminal madness of the occupier was assisted by the French people, by the French State. … France, that day, committed the irreparable.”
So, yeah, that’s why people dunk on France, particularly when it comes to military matters. They certainly did not live up to the ideals of the Revolution or the martial prowess of Napoleon.

You’re acting like every others countries are angels
Not at all. I identified a particular historical event where the French failed badly. Identifying one country’s specific mistakes doesn’t imply that others are angels. For example, obviously no one would claim that Germany and Japan were “angels” during WW2, but that goes without saying, right?
In fact, I responded to another commenter who called them out for racism and arrogance because that is far too general a claim with no evidence.
More relevantly SOME people can be discriminated just based on where they were born, and it is perfectly fine, since they are white and european…
I’d LOVE to. Like Marion Cotillard for example.

Most of them were invented by Italians.
France was created way before Italy
Not at all but ok, never heard of guillaume le conquérant ?
Can’t say I have, but I do enjoy the works of Guillermo del Toro.
Jk, thanks for the interesting read. That was one phenomenal life.
Omelet du fromage.
Au*
Aumelette du fromage.
You’re welcome :3
:sob:
What’s wrong bb girl? :( You’re not even touching your aumelette :(
I made it just for you :((((
It’s omelette au fromage :sob:
If you’re out of the loop: There was a Dexter’s Lab episode where the titular character could only say “Omelette du fromage” for the whole episode.
If you know that and an extended reference went over my head… oops!
Never knew
Nan! Aumelette du fraumage! :3
Meow
What’s gold have to do with this?
Nah, AU stands for alternate universe, I learned that when someone once threatened my life with Splatoon characters.
Who says Dexters Laboratory never taught me anything!
Suddenly I feel myself swooning and am very attracted to you

Being french is not a problem in this household.
Being British on the other hand…
As a French I approve this
My condolences

Statistically, most people have two eyes
Statistically, the average person has less than two eyes
Both of these statements are statistically correct

How so ?
I hate the “new” gay flag :(
I have only seen this flag in this here post and it looks to me as if it were the lesbian and gay pride flags next to each other.
That’d be because they are the lesbian and gay pride flags next to each other.

Esti, hein?
I’m okay with all of these except the French
Someone you know is a human
Based on your username, it isn’t you.
All it takes is one baguette.
Wait is the gay flag not a rainbow anymore? I can’t keep up. The rainbow was so cool.
Left is lesbian pride flag, right is gay male pride flag. Rainbow is basically the catch all LGBTQ pride flag.
I swear, Zoomers and ever more specific labels…
What? These things have been around long before zoomers.
Down with specificity! We want the confusion that arises from ambiguity! Things were confusing in my day and I will not put up with people being able to understand each other! Harrumph to you good sir! A harrumph and another harrumph for good measure!
In my day everyone was just straight or queer. You could get more descriptive if you want, but no one cared about the particulars of your sexuality unless they were interested in fucking you.
I do not give a fuck about the particulars of anyone’s life. Here’s the thing, if you actually didn’t care you’d not be complaining, now would you? Whenever I see this shit I just give a blank “Ok” and move on about my day because I genuinely don’t care.
I think it’s silly. That’s the extent to which I care. Which is more than zero, enough to post about it, but not much more than zero.
I guess technically I have a vague worry about the general increase in tribalism among gen z but this is a tiny part of that. And probably the most benign aspect.
It’s the spectral emissions lines
Thankfully I don’t know anyone like that lol
Well, we can still talk, if only they stopped talking about OCaml
