ETA: This post continues to be spread and spread and spread, which is deeply funny to me, so I’d just like to plug the work of 350.org, Tree Aid, and Survival International, if you’re that way inclined. I’d like to think the continued success of this post might spread lols and good in the world :)

DID SHE JUST IMPLY THE QUEENS FUNERAL WAS WOKE???

I MEAN FUCK THE MONARCHY BUT HOLY SHIT SHE IS GENUINELY FUCKING CRAZY

A wake.

A wake.

you know what, i am right and im tired of pretending i am not

Am I jealous of lesbian couples because they're happy and in not.

Am I jealous that I'm not a cute girl in a relationships another cute girl?

Or is it both.

Place your bets now and in 10 years when I find out im actually cis or not, you'll win the grand prize

As in attached to their body or just in possession of a cock in general.

Because I imagine those stats get skewed by serial killers

I didn't think I'd go t4t but then I found out very few cis women seem to have played guilty gear and metal gear solid

Things the americanised internet thinks is cute:

Dark Academia (photos of white kids in fancy uniforms at british private schools/redbrick universities)

Cottagecore (loads of photos of upper/middle class british gardens, houses, and villages)

British period dramas (literally just members of the gentry/nobility wafting around looking elegant)

Things the americanised internet thinks is funny and/or gross:

the british working class accent (notably the Multicultural London English dialect)

'chavs'

any british poverty food - baked beans on toast, cheap cut pies, chip butties, etc

pretty much any british regional accent (i know you cant understand louis from one direction pls just shut up about it. the upper class monopolises the media and arts so naturally you're more used to their accent)

when british people have bad teeth (dental care is not covered by the NHS and many working-class people cannot afford care out-of-pocket)

that the national dish is a curry. even though its a specific dish created (or at the very least heavily adapted) in the UK by the British Bangladeshi community? I lose my shit over this one. Like seriously the way you guys talk sometimes its like you think 'british' is synonomous with 'white'. You can't just erase entire communities to fit your narrative. I won't get too much into the racial aspects of all of these points but it's important to note jamaican, african, and south asian immigrants have brought a lot to british working class culture specifically. Like... you guys think its bad that they continued to enjoy their own cuisine and share it with the people around them once they got here? I swear some of you go so far with cultural appropriation you come right back around to 'everyone should go back where they came from'.

I understand most of you aren't surrounded by the cultural framework to understand how classist you sound talking about modern britain, but you are not immune to british propaganda just because you do not live here, in fact you're probably less immune as you (somewhat understandably) do not have the cultural knowledge to notice the red flags. But ignorance isn't a good enough reason to propogate classism thoughtlessly. I'm not saying you can't engage with elements of cottagecore or dark academia, but you definitely can't put repackaged aspects of middle and upper class british culture on a pedestal and then shit on all the aspects associated with the working class its so blatantly fucked up. Theres a good reason a lot of British people get so touchy about strangers on the internet mocking the rhotic british accents, americans just don't understand it because class-specific accent privilege doesn't exist within your cultural framework in the same way. You clearly all decided British people can't take a joke, but honestly it's just you're being a lot more offensive than you realise.

Do you not see how deeply wrong it is that so many of you seem to enjoy the superior feeling you get from trampling another culture? You guys will straight-up whitewash britain just so you don't feel guilty about it. You clearly think you're punching up but you're not, being british does not ensure affulence or 'whiteness' any more than being american does, and whenever any of you goes to say anything about Britain in a non-historical context all that comes out is pure classist ignorance as you leave middle/upper class britain absoloutely untouched. So educate yourselves, please. Working-class americans have more in common with working-class brits than they do anyone above them on the social ladder in the US.

Don't play pretend and say your progressive and woke (I fucking hate that word) and then turn around and make fun of working class people.

Class is to Britain what race is to America, you wouldn't joke about racial minorities at their expense, so don't do it to working class people

Friendly reminder that making fun of the “bri’ish accent” has it’s roots in classim and has a big history behind it!!

Nevermind thatcher. Its been a problem since fucking feudalism

Thinking about how the stereotypical British accent with people missing out the letter "t" and simple food like beans on toast have always been associated with the lower classes and using the accent to show a character's lack of intelligence almost certainly, in some way, links to classism and using it to mock British people you don't know is an incredible rude action that has been a problem in Britain since the times of Thatcher

When I saw Red Dwarf as a kid I had no concept of things like British classism and didn't know that Lister was supposed to be seen as kind of lower class/unserious/far from the societally-defined ideal man and I thought he was just designed to be the coolest person ever, the goal dude that everyone wished they could be in terms of cool accent and outfits and interests and attitude.

I still think this

How about you get fucked. I'm sick of Americans spreading their culture into fucking everything it has no reason to.

ok what is englands obsession with redubbing kids shows with english voice actors

vent in the tags i’m literally so angry

2012 internet: *classism about british accents*

2022 internet: * classism about a different british accent*

post that's pissed me off lately:

"brits mocked these classic american foods from a poll not realising they are staples of low-income households and not some fancy cuisine!!! anyway im going to keep harassing brits for foods like beans on toast because youre all colonisers"

it really pisses me off because the foods in question - beans on toast, a single can of soup, crisp (US: chip) sandwiches, bacon butty with a single slice of bacon, fish and chips, bread pudding, foods made with more of an animal than just their meat and fat... these are OUR poverty foods. these are foods we started eating during rationing in the war, or started out as food for labourers in the mines or factories or dockyards, or farmers who barely scrape by and have to use every part of their livestock just to stay afloat, and they persisted in our society as easy, cheap foods that just about sustain you because we had no other choice.

they arent fancy cuisines of the divine. those of us who have them as comfort foods do so because we grew up living off of those foods. "its plain its boring youre not getting everything you need" you are entirely missing the point. or, actually. you hit the nail on the head but you didnt use a hammer. i never really said anything about this before because i KNEW that knowledge that these foods aren't high end wouldnt exactly be something that transfers to americans without us being vocal about it. and you know what? brits generally do not talk about poverty. not in that socio-political "if i dont talk about it, its not there" way. but in the way of our culture actively suppresses people downtalking themselves. brits do NOT talk about needing help or even just being in a shitty situation. not often. not easy. so we talk a lot about how we love beans on toast, but dont talk about WHY. so no, i'm not "shaming" americans for not being aware. its completely understandable.

what i'm pissed off at is the original post going "i'm going to continue shit talking british foods [that are the exact equivalent of the foods i just got mad at the brits for shit talking]". i understand being angry that we a) have never heard of those foods before, and/or b) think they are unusual, and c) do not understand the importance of them. and trust me now that i know those are low-income food staples, i too am mad that some people are choosing to mock them. but the hypocrisy is fucking killing me

I like how tumblr and the internet in general go from sucking somethings dick harder than a vacuum to hating them in the span of like a wek

we all have our own crosses to bear. for example. sometimes i enjoy a panic at the disco song
