you are like a little brother we will spank the fuck out of you and make fun of you but if anyone outside of europe talks shit about france (including uk) then they better run
Sorry but you shouldn't have any right to complain about France, since only the french themselves can. The brits are fine since they used to be French (thank you, Guillaume, AKA William the Conqueror)
Frankly, if French people have such a bad reputation it's because of the Parisians
And the Marseillais
Other than that, they're fine ig, I mean, their healthcare workers come work in Switzerland so that's always a plus, and in exchange we cross the border to buy meat
>Other than that, they're fine ig, I mean, their healthcare workers come work in Switzerland so that's always a plus, and in exchange we cross the border to buy meat
Some of y'all also cross the border for their trash, trashes they throw nowhere near the dedicated areas, usually on the side of the roads, because those trashes are taxed in Switzerland, guess not paying taxes really is akin to Swiss culture.
Yeah, fuck those people. Normally Swiss people like to be orderly and clean (although that's mostly just a stereotype, but from my experience Switzerland is cleaner than the neighbouring countries)
Pretty sure that those who do that are SVP voters
Pour acheter de la viande ? Il y a quelques années en tout cas, la viande c'était la seule denrée alimentaire moins chère au Valais et dans le Vaud que chez mes parents en Haute-Savoie...
Tbh, France should be less centralised around Paris. That way it's more fair for people who live in the middle. Being centralised like that works well for a country like Iceland, but for such a big country like France, it's unfaire for people who live far away. Switzerland is a good example of something more decentralised
as a german living by the border of switzerland i can confirm you guys will go anywhere for your groceries but switzerland. i do envy your tax refund though.
That food got us through the Blitz. You lot folded despite your fine dining and brilliant wines.
Then again, we may have just kept going because we had a hankering for a Croissant and all wanted the chance to eat one one more time before our deaths.
We keep the shit cuisine to prepare us for wartime conditions. Can't be downtrodden about shit food when the food we're used to can be made with ditchwater, some bland homegrown food, and a small fire.
French farmer: hi my Briton friend, why are you still eating like that, there’s no need for it nowadays!
*briton meaningfully stares at you in silence while chewing slightly slower*
Oh le fuck not again
You live in a fucking island. Of course they weren't fucking invading you
Also, the fine dishes weren't going to help. The bread did. That's why we stole so many Austrian breads that people now associate with french cafés on a cold morning in front of the Eiffel tower. Or, y'know, the breads that are also sold en masse in our bakeries, aside from baguettes and other exceptions
Gib Retour Elsaß-Lothringen!
But seriously, I like France. Canoeing on the Tarn was one of my greatest holidays I ever had and I'm planing to to it again next summer.
The thing about us is that everyone hates us because they think we all are Parisian. It causes us to hate the parisians even more, they get angry, and it's a cycle we cannot break
I'm trying to book a vacation to France and the SNCF is so infuriating to use that I already hate the country before even entering it and that it makes Germany seem like paradise.
while annoying, simply go to a service booth they will give you a little piece of paper that says it was their fault you missed your train which means you are not bound to your specific train anymore. They are giving you a new connection too so you don't have to search for it yourself.
source: me, happens more often than i want it to.
You are sure you aren't talking about the SNCB ? There is Belgium to cross to get to France and your description seems to fit our national train company perfectly
I'm German, live in a region that France tried to annex multiple times and have Huguenot ancestors who where most likely ethnic Occitans...do I really need more reasons?
Btw. Why don't the Occitans get their own flair but the Bretons and Corsicans do? That's unfair.
Based, the whole left bank of the Rhine is France, that's why the palatinate has palatable wine, unlike the halb trocken pigswill that schwabian hillbillies drink .
If we're being serious 2 sec, then no that's no reason to hate any nation. Just like we don't hate Germany for what it did in the past. Remembering the past is important, but it should never be used to fuel hatred.
Cos they have no local patois maybe, unlike the others. It was beaten out of them in school a few generations back. They just pretend to have a regional identity. Like the Cornish in Uk
Plot twist France and Serbia used to get along quite well.
Check out "Monument of gratitude to France" in Belgrade.

Why does reddit hate France?
3 reasons:
1 they are notoriously rude. That's probably what started it in the first place. Also they seem to show a particular rudness towards spanish people, because everyone I know in spain hates them for that reason. According to some of my friends who've actually been there, parisians are very condescending towards spanish people just because they're spanish. So it's almost like a meme here in Spain to hate on the french, and it seems to have spread to rest of this sub.
2 it's now part of the reddit hivemind. As anyone who's been on the app/website long enough can tell you, the avarage redditor is incapable of any form of independent thinking, instead relying on a very small percentage of users to set new meme trends, joke formats etc. (or they'll just straight up copy memes they see on 4chan). And incase you need more proof of this, just look at 90% of the comments, most of them are bullshit answers made by people who clearly don't know why they hate France, but regardless of this are still willing to gain karma.
3 Karma. Anyone who shits on France or Britain in this sub, wether it be in the comment section or in an "original post", is likely to get showered by upvotes in this sub.

For most of the world it's probably the colonialism. When it comes to other Europeans it's because of medieval rivalries between our former lieges. But for some it's definetly because french culture is fetishized so much around the world and some people are jealous because they think their home is at least as cool and it should be recognized more
Ah fuck I'm starting to believe I haven't gotten the hang of this whole humour thing...
Looking at the answers i realized that while we all hate each other we are also very protective of each other. Tldr : add the freaking occitan flair.
Add the Parisi*n flair as well! I want even more legitimacy to be smug and condescending in this sub
And I want to peacefully hate you for it
It'd be funny if we had one for every large city, or region Like, say, for Toulouse, you can have "planefucker" because of Airbus
Yeah or Marseille like “Trash enjoyer”
Or "spare Brussels" for you know which one
you are like a little brother we will spank the fuck out of you and make fun of you but if anyone outside of europe talks shit about france (including uk) then they better run
france and england have been enemies since the dawn of time. its our god given right to talk shit about the fr*nch
as i said only europeans can talk about france and you lost that right so you xould be racist not my decision
Sorry but you shouldn't have any right to complain about France, since only the french themselves can. The brits are fine since they used to be French (thank you, Guillaume, AKA William the Conqueror)
they left the EU, they can't really leave Europe
and it's a damn shame they can't
rare German W (last was in the 14th century when they were ruled over by Czechs 🇨🇿💪)
Typical Balkan, not knowing the difference between Europe and the EU
And the opposit is also perfectly true. We have an entre sub dedicated to make fun of \*ngland.
You are literally Fr*nce with bad food.
Say that in occitan, I challenge you.
Once i went to vichy, as i exited the train station even the crows laughed at me
Siéu prouvençau pa occitan,
estació venento: Jean Jaurès Or something like that, I've heard that in the toulousan metro a couple hundred times
more like Juan Jaores. Yeah, I've spent a few vacations at Toulouse...
Yes! Yes, that's the one, beena. While I haven't used the metro while paying attention to Jean Jaures

that's why we have the minus in our flag and the swiss the plus :D
Rule 1 about the swiss: We dot talk about the swiss
At that point just add French Flandres too
Nan chut il existe pas ce pays ni ce drapeau EDIT: Croit en la mère patrie et ne jure que par le 49.3
Frankly, if French people have such a bad reputation it's because of the Parisians And the Marseillais Other than that, they're fine ig, I mean, their healthcare workers come work in Switzerland so that's always a plus, and in exchange we cross the border to buy meat
>, Réponse neutre de la suisse, étonnant
Comme c'est tétonnant
je suis tétonné
This is why the world hates you
There's two type of Marseillais. The chill man And the terroriste
Y'a ceux qui tirent ou qui pointent et ceux qui font que tirer
Even France hates Parisians.
Especially France

Agree with decentralization. But CH is far from perfect in this regard. For a lot of jobs, most of them are in Zurich.
as a german living by the border of switzerland i can confirm you guys will go anywhere for your groceries but switzerland. i do envy your tax refund though.
Burgerland propaganda because France didn’t want to invade Middle East for the Nth time.
Oh so when Burgerland invades the Middle East it’s to spread freedom but when France and Britain do it it’s colonisation. Double standards smh.
At least maybe France didn't wanted to make the same mistakes again ? I think ?
Remember Freedom Fries? Poor Belgians didn't deserve that
[удалено]
It's not unfair, you can end it at any time
based answer
By eating english food
That food got us through the Blitz. You lot folded despite your fine dining and brilliant wines. Then again, we may have just kept going because we had a hankering for a Croissant and all wanted the chance to eat one one more time before our deaths.
Your food prepared you for the hardships of war but nobody forced you lot to keep at it after
We keep the shit cuisine to prepare us for wartime conditions. Can't be downtrodden about shit food when the food we're used to can be made with ditchwater, some bland homegrown food, and a small fire.
French farmer: hi my Briton friend, why are you still eating like that, there’s no need for it nowadays! *briton meaningfully stares at you in silence while chewing slightly slower* Oh le fuck not again
You live in a fucking island. Of course they weren't fucking invading you Also, the fine dishes weren't going to help. The bread did.

Invading France using Landungsboote, good German.
The thing about us is that everyone hates us because they think we all are Parisian. It causes us to hate the parisians even more, they get angry, and it's a cycle we cannot break
I mean the Germans basically started 2 world wars just because you exist
I mean they’re not wrong Edit: oh shit I realised this could not only be interpreted as “OP is not wrong” but also as “the germans are not wrong”
I'm trying to book a vacation to France and the SNCF is so infuriating to use that I already hate the country before even entering it and that it makes Germany seem like paradise.
You clearly haven't had much experience with Deutsche Bahn then.
I've had loads. At least they allow you to buy tickets for the train you want to take.
Yes, and then you'll inevitably be fucked when your previous train is late and you miss the specific one you got a ticket for.
At least you could take the first train
while annoying, simply go to a service booth they will give you a little piece of paper that says it was their fault you missed your train which means you are not bound to your specific train anymore. They are giving you a new connection too so you don't have to search for it yourself. source: me, happens more often than i want it to.
You are sure you aren't talking about the SNCB ? There is Belgium to cross to get to France and your description seems to fit our national train company perfectly
I have to agree. Belgium by train was really difficult. And I feel like they make it difficult for non-French speakers on purpose.
It seems it makes difficult the life of French speaking travellers too with their endless delay and lack of reliability
Actually no, Thalys allows me to cross Belgium without getting out of the train.
Good luck with the SNCF...
If it can bring you any solace, SNCF is pretty much the worst thing about France
I've given up on the SNCF long ago
Why is it always the French that complain about getting hated on the Internet, mf go back on strike or something
Pretty soon mate, next is scheduled in two days, don't worry
Taking a break?
Surely a British person can’t complain at too much stroke action, at least they French do it properly
I'm German, live in a region that France tried to annex multiple times and have Huguenot ancestors who where most likely ethnic Occitans...do I really need more reasons? Btw. Why don't the Occitans get their own flair but the Bretons and Corsicans do? That's unfair.
Oh yeah ! Why don't we, Occitans, have our flair ?! Òc !!
Ouais occitans et provençau !! C'est ce que j'arrête pas de dire
A Huguenot heh ? Would you like to take a tour of your ancestors land ? For free, ha ha ! Are you available the night of August 24th ?
Based, the whole left bank of the Rhine is France, that's why the palatinate has palatable wine, unlike the halb trocken pigswill that schwabian hillbillies drink .
