In overwatch EU servers (maybe in other similar games too), in my experience, in terms of pure toxicity hurled at you, having a french accent in comms manages to be even worse than having a female voice. Couldn't help but smile this one time someone told me they wouldn't be using the team comms because they were french. Amazing.

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the ~~Dutch~~French.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Also, people in Canada: “we hate the Quebecois”

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

We love them because we can immediately tell they aren't American.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

Nah, Quebec's cool. They know how to throw a good rager.

Oh yeah, it's siblings rivalry. Outsiders OUT.

[–] CarstenBoll@feddit.dk 11 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

I feel like most Europeans have no issue with the French, it's an America-thing. Maybe a UK-thing.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

We have no issue with the French. We do hate the Italians, they're a bunch of pushy fascists.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm an englishman francophile. I love Jacques Brel, Georges Perec, French food...

like everything this is just a meme

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

don't forget Dominique Pinon

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, no, we don't have issues with the french, we just love hating on each other because you know, we have history. Not with the current ones which is why we have no issues, but you know, it's entertaining.

French can joke about how the Basque did a very early space program (terrorism), how the Germans love their soap (Nazism) and so on. We don't have issues with each other, it's just fuckery.

That's why it's weird when Americans call french white flags... They are not allowed, also their references are about their experiences as tourists, which is like, it was probably their fault.

[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 23 minutes ago

We hate "The French" but have no issues with French people.

Italians have a tendency to hate/compare themselve to the French.

For example: Italy scores very badly in some rankings. The first thing an Italian would do is to check if France is higher or lower than Italy. If it's lower, they'd say "at least we beat the french". If it's higher they'd say "damn we even scored worse than France... terrible".

But I don't think people actually hate france or the french. it's more like a meme I think!

People love to hate the french but I find it pretty unearned.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They put up the white flag before any argument could be made.

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 hours ago

American commenter detected, how dare you fuck with France without even being European. And if you are European, how dare you using the American punchline when we have our own for France.

[–] SatansDaughter@quokk.au 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

As a french girl, I hate France too

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 hours ago

Maybe that’s why we Germans don’t hate you guys - we’re busy hating our own country as well

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 82 points 14 hours ago (12 children)

The French don't mind, cause they don't understand any language except French.

They don't even understand French from other countries.

Ils le comprennent parfaitement mais ils refusent de le parler.

I don't want any wine, thanks.

the impression I get is that they're pretending not to understand, but they do, they just don't give a flying fuck what other people think of them because everyone keeps buying their cheese, wine, and fashion so they're busy counting money, getting laid, and smoking like chimneys lol

Hating the French is a MI6 psyop to direct hate away from the Bri*ish

[–] Tja@programming.dev 13 points 10 hours ago

We can multitask, mate.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Most Europeans don't even think about the Bri*ish

Sorry. We got other things to hate on right now that are worth more hate than the French.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I feel like the incelish greentext format is best way to explain my hatred for historical France.

Wtf was the Frenchs' problem?

I love Europe. It's the only place where a bus driver from country A can get into a heated argument with a random guy from country B in two completely different languages. After both have gone on for a bit and not understood a word of what the other one was saying, they have reached a point of agreement, can wish each other a good day and carry on.

First they exchange cigarettes though

Sometimes you Germans love them a little too much and France has to get restraining orders.

I was going to respond, "As is tradition."

Funny how the American one is better in principle, but worse in practise while the European one is worse in principle but (ehhh fine I guess but ugh) in practise
