    yall need to get off the high horse and take a joke sometimes. you terrorized the entire world via colonization for hundreds of years through modern day, if people harmlessly stereotype the german or french, make fun of british people, or tease the dutch language, yall can handle it

    for context, im american. we get bullied all the time, and while not all americans are fat and stupid, the combination of that many are and that we’ve terrorized the world plenty make me think a lil teasing is fair

      Yes it’s perfectly fair and most of us don’t mind.

        I think the issue, especially on Reddit, was the over-representation of US Americans compared to the other countries.

        It gets old quite fast to get called a “surrender monkey” or a Nazi on a regular basis in a space where most of the audience is on the other side and I’m not even French or German.

        On Lemmy it’s probably a bit more balanced.

          I guess let’s see what happens with the Germany elections in February because that nazi line may start to ring true.
