>I'm fascinated by 4chan because it is a kind of underground United Nations.
Always fascinating how they refer to themselves.
You have n-words.
Then potato n-words for the irish (and lithuatians)
Pasta n-words for italians
Bongs for the british
Leafs for canadians
Burgers and Amerimutts
Toothpaste for the netherlands
Gypsy for hungarians and romanians (who are at a perpetual shitposting war against each other)
Hohols for the ukranians
Finngolians
The usual suspects for anyone of any asian country, extra special hate towards the chinese and Xi's internet army.
and on and on
No matter what nation of the world you are from, they will find an insult for you. It's endearing in a way really.
Oh and also there's someone shitposting from a research facility in Antarctica.
- solosoyokaze 5y ago> You have n-words That you have to blank that out and none of the others, should tell you everything you need to know about how equal or "endearing" this is. Bongs, Leafs, Burgers... This is all white supremacy no matter how someone tries to reframe it.
- esyir 5y agoThey also have americunts and amerifats if that makes you feel any better.
- solosoyokaze 5y agoStill proves my point. You don’t have to censor that.
- esyir 5y agoTo their credit, they don't exactly censor anything. The entire voldemorting of the word is one of the more inane things about PC culture. That PC culture cares primarily about black targeted insults doesn't really say much about the inherent "badness" of the word.
- pgt 5y agoIn a way, it's more equitable if everyone has a slur.
- okareaman 5y agoI asked an Australian once why everyone was a C word and he said it was easier than remembering names.
- artursapek 5y agolmao love me some Aussie humor
- scpedicini 5y agoReminds me of that W.C. Fields quote — 'I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally. '
- causality0 5y agoI think there's a certain value to that. Sort of a modern take on memento mori, but for everyone.
