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)
Dominic Kelly
>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.
Liam Taylor
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.
Henry Sullivan
we are very special snowflakes though

Japan and Britain are also superior to their overseas continental neighbours.
Julian Ward
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Most Dutch posters are obnoxious cunts but there is always one that majes big posts with historical references usually "defending" France/Napoleon and/or bashing a lil' bit England or Germany/Prussia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 ?
Jack Thompson
>Japan and Britain are also superior to their overseas continental neighbours
Brayden Wood
>>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

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

wtf???? are you ok?
Kayden Cox
Literally who?
Anthony Nelson
uh pick up a history book sometime sweetie :)
Parker Wood
>mention the Templar Knights >people instantly know what you're talking about >mention "William Marshal and Hotspur" >no one knows who they are ??
Eli Walker
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.
Ayden Lewis
>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.

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
Charles Williams
Ever heard of Chrétien de Troyes ?
Benjamin Clark
>>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
Grayson Rogers
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
Benjamin Thompson
among the first to consider himself an Englishmen
Thomas Bailey
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
Blake Clark
Fucking hell, that basically makes me a zainichi entirely.
Lucas Butler
that would be the Welsh
Andrew Harris
tfw welsh master race
Henry Kelly
french people are so fucking beta, they let 19 year old girls lead them into battle
Benjamin Nelson
haha same
never had any shit because of it, but a lot of comments when people realise my family are Irish
Benjamin Clark
That's what a waifu is for retard.
Bentley Diaz
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
Tyler Parker
for all the good it did her, your waifu should have stayed a farmer
Owen Lewis
>not having a waifu >a fucking 19 year old peasant girl kicks you skinny anglo ass out of the country
Adrian Perez
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.
David Stewart
i just know the name but didn't know he wrote the matter of england
Colton Wright
France doesn't even have a monarchy lmao. Unlike us based island brothers the UK and Japan.

uuuuuuuh en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_England >an army of Norman, Breton, and French soldiers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans >Through generations of mixing with the native Frankish and Gallo-Roman populations, their descendants gradually became assimilated into the Carolingian-based cultures of West Francia. ...wow...
Asher Johnson
Normans are my Ancestors :)
Angel Sullivan
Nice joke.
>tfw franco-breton mutt (yea, it's the same thing)
Oh, this rape fantasy, again... Are you literally niggers?
>we wuz da biggest empire in da warld madafuqa
Xavier Lewis

Grayson Rivera
>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 :^)
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.
Alexander Murphy
it's called the Norman invasion because it was the Duke of Normany who had the claim to England and led the invasion
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
Cameron Flores
?
Robert White
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.
Jeremiah Fisher
Wrong. The main reason I make fun of anglos complaining about 1066 is because you descend from the normans both culturally and genetically
Xavier Bailey
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.
Jayden Butler
It's actually rude to say "bon appétit" before eating...
Jayden Bennett
Stop spreading this meme. C'est peut-être pas nécessaire, mais jamais malpoli.

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".
