- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Yeah, there's no need for the redundancy, really; if you say “French” you can omit “pretentious”, it's already implied.
Did anyone else automatically read this in a french accent?
This u being xenophobic?https://lemmy.world/comment/16896329
Because stating true shit that happens in that country is xenophobic?
How about when you buffoons started calling french fries freedom fries? Or had your president order McDonald's in the white house? Or maybe that time you got indoctrinated to worship a flag as a kid, only to then watch as your classmates got shot to death because "muh guns"?
Literally all of it happens, but god forbid the french use a word in their own fucking language. Go fuck yourself, fucking clown.
The fries are Belgian...

Then your country is twice as stupid as I thought, because you have a national holiday to French fries, and you called them French fries out of idiocy:
"Let us return for a moment to the horror of the First World War. Europe struggles under the occupation. British and American soldiers finally push back the Germans after a hard-fought battle in the trenches. A lot of hungry mouths to fill. At the Belgian front, the soldiers learn about chips. Due to the chaos and confusion, and because they hear French words being used all around them, they accidentally assume they are in France... Result: another adjective that will forever define the international image of our snack. 'Tastes good, let's call them 'French Fries' folks!'"

Jesus you need help dude. Go see your therapist
Fuck me this is absolute gold.
Mods don't like it though, oh well
Their loss.
Lmao whataboutism, ur trolling but ok here https://www.google.com/search?q=xenophobia
lmao im not the person you were talking to, i just saw you calling people xenophobic and called you out. whatever say what you want no one gives a shit ur still just another pretentious hypocrite on the internet
ok
Dude... y u so mad?
Yeah, there's no need for the redundancy, really; if you say "American" you can omit "fat fucks", it's already implied.
Because you hypocrites would get just as mad at the reversal, idiot...
You can call American words "just English words." We dont care, we stole the language from 3 others. You're alone in your butthurt here.
I honestly feel a bit bad for you if you're actually this mad about someone making a joke about stereotypes and not just trolling... For the record, I'm not American, and work in an international environment where people make jokes about my language and culture on the daily. Life gets a lot better when you don't take yourself too seriously and just have fun with the quirks and stereotypes attached to your nationality.
So I say again: y u so mad bro?

If you have to say "would" you've already lost. Nobody has done the thing you're talking about and you're mad at your imagination. Seek help.
