    Does anyone “get” this? Why would anyone be mad at France?

      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…

      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.

          People think France is bad, but they have objective proof about the UK.

        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
