English people are the same overpolite eccentric bad toothed perfidious islanders.
French are probably more akin to Chinese (civilised juggernaut during most of its history)

>French knights are less idealized than English knights
You do realize what language the term "chivalry" comes from, right? What country is the origin of the chanson de Roland, the defining chivalrous epic of the era? The country that fucking invented the feudal system? Pro-tip: it wasn't England.

Also
>Saying bon appetit is autistic
I could tell this was a thread made by an American even without flags.

English are closer to Japanese just by the fact both countries are islands where the main activity is to determine how different and special snowflake-y they are from the rest.

we are very special snowflakes though

>(saying bon appetit before eating,
t. le paySAN

T. Butthurt continental faggot.

>tfw we also wrote most of the Matter of England

t. special snowflake body temperature

Do NOT insult glorious Nippon comparing it to those shit holes

Japan and Britain are also superior to their overseas continental neighbours.

Are you the Dutch that always makes well-informed post, especially on threads about France ?

Most Dutch posters are obnoxious cunts but there is always one that majes big posts with historical references usually "defending" France/Napoleon and/or bashing a lil' bit England or Germany/Prussia

Is that always you or am I mistaken ?

>Japan and Britain are also superior to their overseas continental neighbours

>>their knights are less idealized, but they invented the modern concept of chivalry
Not to drag this out into a dumb contest between France and Britain, but considering that Templars remain the norm for what's believed to be a great knight, and whose ranks were filled by 95% Frencheners, "eh". Also, some of the lauded defeats of France against Britain are both when French armored knights charged at English bowmen, who then cut them down, which for decades had made it so the respective memes were:
>English: practical, does what it need
>France: honor-obsessed to the point it gets them killed

All in all though:
>Britain = Japan, for imperial-thinking, island mentality, and only recently centralized
>France = China, for being a cultural juggernaut and sneaky expansionism, and centralization

>Most Dutch posters are obnoxious cunts
you could have just ended it there desu

>English knights

What?

>honor-obsessed to the point it gets them killed
Basically Japan then?

fuck j*pan and ch*na, we are mongolia

Actually people like William Marshal and Hotspur are considered the height of knightdom. NOBODY considers the templars chivalrous and especially in the modern age.

>japan

wtf????
are you ok?

Literally who?

uh pick up a history book sometime sweetie :)

>mention the Templar Knights
>people instantly know what you're talking about
>mention "William Marshal and Hotspur"
>no one knows who they are
??

I suppose but it's also to do with how wars should be expedited and fought, and we've seen from shit like kamikazes and putting civilians between them and their enemy that it's not always the case.

Also, samurai were much better bowmen than swordsmen so point goes to England again.

I suppose in English countries, but here your mind darts to the Hundred days' war, which saw the French continually fuck themselves over with their heavy cavalry, and the crusades when thinking about knights.

I mean if you asked people to be stereotypical about a knight, they'd say: billowing white cloak, obsessing about finding the Graal because autism, and going on quests to far-away lands which checks out for what Templars were.

Also yeh, sorry but literally who on these guys? I know Marshal from tourneys and that's it.

>saying bon appetit before eating
That's nothing out of the ordinary.

The Fr*nch are a lot like the Chinese. Both eat snails and Frogs legs. Both lost important battles in the 19th and 20th centuries. Both are smelly and ugly people. Both have hideous languages of no importance to the world.

>france is the top of the frequency of having sex
it's enough. other stereotypes are just stereotypes.

>>france is the top of the frequency of having sex
Whar, no? We're even behind the Brits there.

It's the Finns who are the most promiscuous hilariously enough.

You should definetely read up on William Marshal.

No. I hate bongs.

well bongs hate you too

>>has autistic rules of politeness very similar to Japan's(saying bon appetit before eating, being cold to strangers)
you're still on that ?

>William Marshal
wasn't even English

That nigga hasn't got shit on the Chevalier Bayard

france = china
a continental power who likes revolutions and fighting against
uk/japan
an island country who likes monarchy

no we just made a fan fic of it
afaik
with lancelot

>France: honor-obsessed to the point it gets them killed
more like
>this is just like in my anime (chanson de geste) !!
they were just autistic, it's not that much of honor driven

Garigliano was pretty fucking sick, I'll give you that.

this thread is dumb. Neither France nor britain are japan.

Japanese aren't honorable fighters

wtf, so I was taking the fake news seriously

but it's widely believed that even middle aged french people are romantic in a relationship. that's something Japs are really not good at

Ever heard of Chrétien de Troyes ?

>>has a cynical youth
Yeah no our youth isn't as autistic as Japan's, just a bunch of people with hip hop clothes who complain, and then the yuppies who also complain

Well, i think it's England because they and japanese like to do a weird running and make weird show.
youtube.com/watch?v=XaP-uRfBBdY

among the first to consider himself an Englishmen

being half Irish half English is like a less severe version of being Zainichi

English are far more akin to Japan, the Japs are just equally fanatic about both countries

Fucking hell, that basically makes me a zainichi entirely.

that would be the Welsh

tfw welsh master race

french people are so fucking beta, they let 19 year old girls lead them into battle

haha same

never had any shit because of it, but a lot of comments when people realise my family are Irish

That's what a waifu is for retard.

maybe now I have to say most Japanese including young people are just sober and low-key, living a boring life like ants
most zainichi are fucking normal Japanese except their nationality

for all the good it did her, your waifu should have stayed a farmer

>not having a waifu
>a fucking 19 year old peasant girl kicks you skinny anglo ass out of the country

England. The Japs even made a game about the real life exploits of the sailor and demon slayer William Adams. He's celebrated every year and has places named after him for ridding Japan of the demons.

i just know the name but didn't know he wrote the matter of england

France doesn't even have a monarchy lmao. Unlike us based island brothers the UK and Japan.

she didn't kick us out, we raped and burned her to death

We continue to build on that fan fiction and have Guy Ritchie oversea things.

savages

>raped
proofs

Actually, the president of Macron is nominally crown-prince pf Andorra heh.

>of France*
Phuket, Cambodia.

this was basically lock stock/snatch in a medieval fantasy setting. was okay.

WE WUZ KNIGHTS N SHIT

you are the Africa of Europe not the china or japan

funny because they brought chivalry to you in 1066

>WE WUZ NORMANZ N' SHIT

Normans are my Ancestors :)

Nice joke.

Oh, this rape fantasy, again...

>Through generations
does that give a time point mutt?
i understand coming from a mutt mind set you don't understand ethnic groups but the Normans were a nordic people they got assimilated and then became french
during the time of the Norman conquest they spoke a mix of Parisian and danish

yes maps do show that good boy now carry on speaking our language :^)

Here's your point in time :)

Non, je ne vais pas suivre tes conseils.

Mon frère :)

England? France?

come on mannnnnnnnn(´>∀

i am seeing dates far before the Norman conquest

do you only use aztec dates in the us?

Just come home, normans

>Ow ow my non-island ass is on fire

That's the point. They were assimilated a few hundred years prior to the invasion.
The fact that you still call it "Norman invasion" shows how insecure you are about this event 1000 years later.

it's called the Norman invasion because it was the Duke of Normany who had the claim to England and led the invasion

We will win, as always, brother people.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_England
not it's what we are told mutt

the only mention of Normans in those links is that of them being an outside threat

brush up on your English Pablo
il give you 1(one) more chance to prove me wrong

?

I have family from Jersey. French are hypocrites, they will say the Normans were French because they got assimilated, but will not say the English have Norman ancestors.

Wrong. The main reason I make fun of anglos complaining about 1066 is because you descend from the normans both culturally and genetically

Your forgot to mention how the U.K. and Japan both:

Have a bad teeth stereotype
Had famous empires dominated by famous navies
Are still monarchies
Divided their little cousin into a north-south situation and their little cousin hates them for it (see Korea and Ireland)
little cousins are now economic hubs like their big cousins
Have citizens who are very cold and keep to themselves
Have a mainland opposition (see China and Germany)
Fought against mainland opposition in the last 100 years

There are many others I probably forgot.

It's actually rude to say "bon appétit" before eating...

Stop spreading this meme. C'est peut-être pas nécessaire, mais jamais malpoli.

You don't know nothing.

People will think you're an idiot if you say it in higher circles, unless it's said as a joke at the expense of "les provinciaux".
