It’s not a real place unless it’s from the Place region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling area.
Nice 👍
Nice, France 🫠🔫

Nice, US 💀
I think it was a french writer who said “France is a paradise, populated with people who think it’s a hell”.
Because it isn’t the place that is the problem, it are the people.
And France is full of French people.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, they all insist on speaking french.
I’m sorry. We really tried.
Sincerely,
GermanyI currently live in france and can confirm. Full of french people speaking french. I told my kids that it’s a made up language and everybody is actually just pretending that they understand what each other is saying.
everybody is actually just pretending that they understand what each other is saying
Oh no no you got it wrong! We don’t actually listen to what the others are saying, we don’t care!
Like… Why name your language after the classic breakfast food “French Toast”? Absolutely deranged.
My only problem is the language. 🤢🤮 Every French person I’ve met was cool
Does anyone “get” this? Why would anyone be mad at France?
Fr*nch 🤮 🤮
?
France is not suitable for children! Just ask Disney! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2SGSQsLF9I&t=101s
Is that how the joke against france begin? Or is it something else?
Definitely not the start of the joke, but I couldn’t tell you where it did start. I think it long predates the internet. I would guess that it goes back to cultural conflict between British and French aristocracy in centuries past, but at this point I think it’s very far removed from the origins.
In the US, I think using France as the butt of random jokes got a boost during George W. Bush’s presidency because France publicly opposed the US’s invasion of Iraq, which caused some absurd and petty reactions from US politicians, like renaming “French fries” to “freedom fries”.
I have no idea why Disney decided to change that line. Perhaps it has more to do with the suggestion of interracial partnerships than with France specifically? Either way, Jesus Christ, Disney…
Damn
That is certainly… weird.

Papa always says “don’t trust anyone who speaks a language where adding a plural suffix makes the word shorter” and I live by that rule
Is that a germanic language you are poking fun at?
fr*nch
You must be high. I of course knew that, it was obviously the other one I was asking about.
It’s just another level of the meme with happy face with place, japan.
It’s funny to some to say that france or the uk are bad.
But we all know one is actually bad
People think France is bad, but they have objective proof about the UK.
Le Baguette are probably the reason.
So people hate France because they make amazing bread? I don’t get it.
I suppose so.
I like le baguette. Tastes very good.
Americans
I’m american… not mad at france. Because I’m not a weirdo republican who considers them effeminate for some weird reason. I was making an assumption based on experience that not many of those types are on Lemmy. At least not in the communities I haven’t blocked.
Yeah and if you went to France with that attitude, I bet you didn’t have a particularly bad time. (Paris is a little more complicated though, parisians have zero patience, especially with tourists, which does include french tourists)
I had a great time in paris. I didn’t find the stereotype to be true. I only had one person be rude to me… Whereas in New York, people can be quite rude for almost no reason
I refuse to believe fr*nce is a real place
It’s between Wyoming and Wakanda. Or you can take the secret entrance from downtown Atlantis.
we need a version of r/shitposting (before 100k subs) here and i dont know how to make one or if one already exists
There are five search results for “shitposting” for me, with !shitposting@lemmy.ml being the most active with 199 user/month
Messieurs, dames, je ne vous permets pas.
Je vous demande de vous arrêter.
Edit : Someone explained the meme to me. Sorry I often miss the point with memes. X)
Anyways, thank for helping us fighting climate change. ☺️👍
I’m a french moderator, we saw it, more exactly : j’lai lu. :)
“france” 🤬
