What's the point of flags on Sup Forums?

I don't see the purpose whatsoever. Every single thread there's always some ad hominem garbage about a user's country flag. Always ruins a [potential] discussion and it just begs for shitposts.

>canadian flag = top kek btfo canuck cuck A FUCKING LEAF

>usa flag = top kek fuckin burger, stick to handegg

>uk flag = lel can't spell cuck without uk

It might make sense on some other boards, but not here.

>A

>FUCKING

>LEAF

Just getting this predictable shit out the way.

its for the olympic events

>7-1

They were brought in for Olympics 2012, moot removed them after it finished but Sup Forums complained so it was brought back like 20 minutes later.

sports is nationalism

>UNE PUTAIN DE FEUILLE

Aww did someone hurt your feeling Canacuck? Leddit seems more your speed.

>UNA

>HOJA

>DE MIERDA

>UNA PUTA HOJA

As A FUCKING LEAF I'm sure you would cry about it. Don't be what "A FUCKING LEAF" means and you won't be derided, simple

Speaking of, who's ready for the shit-river Olympics?

The olympics, newlad

>I'll never see Phelps swim in a river of shit while a drunk Thorpe laughs at him and yells gibberish in aussie speak

...

>what is the point of a Peruvian stone tablet chissling website
idk either user, but I love you guys regardless

Christ it's been pretty much four years now. Flags contributed to killing Sup Forums, even now removing them would be a positive.

The USA vs Yurop threads before the flags were way worse. Just shitpost thread after shitpost thread.

Come to find out it was the Canadians and Australians the whole time the absolute madmen.

Something something clapping, something something mohammed, something something dingo ate my baby, etc etc. You're right, flags bring down the banter to literally Sup Forums tier.

>Every single thread there's always some ad hominem garbage about a user's country flag.

It's called banter mate. Can't stand the heat? Get out the kitchen

I'm going to be honest here though - Sup Forums is way better than every other board on Sup Forums in my opinion. Every other board descends into autistic fits of anger. At least Sup Forums can handle the bants

I like it.

I like to know when someone claims to hate handegg that they are just some filthy spaniard whose opinion is meaningless to me.

I like to know when someone says they are a "lifelong GSW fan" that they are actually a british cuckold who roots for american greats because he has no greats of his own.

The flags lend some irrefutable truth to every post that cant be lied about the way completely anonymous boards can.

let's be honest though, pep guardiola is shit. losing to every la liga team possible. fucking dickhead. city are fucked.

I agree. So much of Sup Forums is just bullshit because people can make up any turd they want and defend it to the end of the Earth.

Flags are irrefutable. If someone claims to support Man City but their flag is Dutch then I know they're a friendless, plastic, autistic cunt.

Also here's a thing - if you came into a football thread for instance then we would accept you if you had a genuine interest in football. It happens all the time. It's only if you say "lol soccer is gay" that we'll call you a Canadian c.u.c.k. whose country is so hilariously irrelevant in global sports.

Sorry got carried away but you see my point.

>trans atlantic semen pipe
>mfw an amerifat was fat near me

ready and waiting

As a tangent, why do the "soccer is gay" threads exist? Nobody in the rest of the world likes American football, but we don't make hundreds of threads every day going on about not liking it. Why does everyone who doesn't like football have to let everyone else know about it all the time?

Because yanks are insecure c.u.c.k.s

Can't spell cuck without uk I love that. Thank you op

because mods are americans
they delete posts when pigs get told like by that colombian
but they wouldn't delete legitimate american spam

It's tradition by this point on Sup Forums.

what's up hatbro

stop being so leafhurt

Americans won't admit it but we are sensitive to the fact that the big 3 American sports are not actually World Championship sports. They are just American sports that most of the rest of the world ignores. It's a symptom of American Exceptionalism. We can't accept the fact that the rest of the world ignores our championships. So in order to feel exceptional, we like to denigrate sports we aren't very good at....like soccer. Sad, but true.

>shitty jokes and boring overused memes are okay because "lol banter lad"
kys

STATE FLAGS WHEN

flags dont make sense during internationals? fucking retard maple leaf piece of shit go shitpost somewhere else

>UM

>CARALHO DE UMA

>FOLHA

There is no "heat" in the kitchen. It's just bland, overused, lazy ad hominems.

It would be different if the "banter" was actually original and not being used for the 9898537389th time.

>caralho de

I only join in that shit if I've had an abnormal amount of people talk shit about me being American for literally no reason. It's probably just an endless loop of people being insulted and firing back on both ends. I don't even hate soccer, it's okay and the World Cup is awesome but it's fun to just say something and have literally 5 different flags get butthurt and respond to you

No, they don't. Flags was a big part of Sup Forums dying

This

Sup Forums was plagued with US vs UK threads for years. When Moot started with the flags it quickly confirmed that Aussies were starting all of those threads.

next time you come earlier and do things your way, until then tighten your butthole shut.

As I thought

A

FUCKING

LEAF

It is fucking banter mate, man up and deal with it

>ein verficktes Blatt

No, they don't make sense. If there's some international shit going on, it should be obvious what country the person is referring to. Example:


>GOAAALLLL WHEW CROSBY

What fucking country do you think that user is from?

kek so buttblasted
you will end up having an cva acting like this

>buttblasted
>literally having to translate the medical term
people usually use the word stroke.

and don't mind me, I'm placid, light as
>A

>FUCKING

>LEAF

>translating
are you THIS dumb
?

so thats your argument that it doesnt make sense? fucking shit outa here muricas hat

to filter porn poster in match thread
>macedonia
>jew

>proving my point while thinking it helps your 'argument'
Awful

This is the truth. Oldfags know the evil that was USA vs Europe threads.

I actually assume half the posts from Europe are Americans studying/vacationing. I know because I did it.

>He reports the based fucking machine Israeli porn poster
Kys. But that CP posting Macedonian should be banned desu.

>UNA

>PORCODIO

>DI FOGLIA

Sup Forums didn't complain.

All the Olympics newcunt tourists were the ones complaining.

To spot americans of course.

>ywn never double triple troll us yurop threads again

I like knowing I can dismiss any non-American opinion as third world garbage

The whole point of banter is that it be stale and predictable. If it required wit or ingenuity us dim lads would be left out, you moosefucking syrup chugger.

This tbqh

it;s to know who to trust

it for see who is from

So we can tell who the finns are and mock their goal tenders

>PORCODIO
classy

Because some of us can handle it. Because in some threads it's interesting to know you're discussing certain sports/athletes with those with viewpoints from other countries.

Harden the fuck up, Canada.

flags made Sup Forums worse and they won't get rid of the fucking things. they're only relevant during international events.
