Do the well-known stereotypes associated with people from your country actually apply to you?

The love for the acquired taste of enjoying salmiakki, salty liquorice? I tried one long time ago and I struggled to remain it on my tongue.

Eh well I carry umbrellas with me whenever I go out. I don't have the best teeth either... I've always had too many of them and some of them are crooked. My parents were always a bit suspicious of the dentist, so I didn't always go. Oh yeah, I also adore trains, especially Steam Locomotives, that's a major British passion.

As for stuff like loving the monarchy or something, nah...my mother loved them, but I don't care so much about them.

My country? A politicized society, I'd say; unlike any other country, there are tons of people here who are still interested and very competent in history, analytics, geopolitics, and politics, and also a lot of non-fiction book readers.

One of the reasons why Western media, politics, and analytics are commonly considered a joke here.

But my most associated stereotype would be the ability to creatively curse; if you're not good at that, you'll be an outcast here.

@Commit_Crime Go hug and kiss @fleurbleue 17 times, she couldn't rest easy and was insufferable, knowing you were gone more than 2 weeks.

I don't Jodeln in Lederhose while Schifahren.

i'm from the south and about half of the "Redneck Hillbilly" stereotypes apply to me.

I don't support Trump, i hate sausage and i hate gravy, i don't chew tobacco.

I do drive a pickup truck, i like to fish, and i do like country music

It wasn't that bad, I was at least still two weeks away from making another obituary thread for him.

Still, I'm pretty sure @Commit_Crime will only post a couple of times and then disappear again. 😔

Suspicious of the dentist...? Do you mean dentists in general or one specific dentist?

Also, do you drink black tea in a distinguished manner?

@Zarutaku If you're German, then that could explain why you're so serious and don't really seem to like joking around.

Considering the general stereotypes I see of Americans (dumb, overweight, gun loving, rubs their country in everyone's face) I don't really fit these that much. I was an honors student for most of my education, while I am out of shape I am still within what is considered a healthy weight range for my body type (I am still trying to lose some weight to be a bit more comfortable but still stay within a healthy range), i fucking hate guns and wish they weren't legal, and I fucking hate my dogshit country is especially rn with all the blatant hate towards literally every aspect of my being that is proliferating here, but my dislike of the country goes far beyond the current cultural issues and down to infrastructural problems as well. Never really felt like I fit in with "being American" but especially now I feel that less and less each day

@fleurbleue Convince him to marry you so you can keep him handcuffed to your bed frame; that way he'll never disappear to his tortoiseowner.coms and various other rotting caves.

Sometimes marriage can be beneficial to some individuals, plus he can feed your cat when you are away.

I am from the Philippines. I live in New York now.

No stereotypes from either match with me.

I try to be civil but I'm not really the warm, hospitable type associated with Filipinos. I'm also not associated with stereotypes from New York about being rude or something like that. It's what I have heard. I don't know if it's accurate. No offense intended to other New Yorkers.

The qualities people associate with me are calm and quiet.

@fleurbleue I'm allergic to certain heavy anesthetics, so I think my mother was concerned about that, even though I've never been put out to have teeth removed so far (or any other major operation). She also didn't like that the dentist wanted to keep some of my teeth (because maybe he'd send them on somewhere for research without our knowledge? I don't really know?) so she asked to keep them. It just seems like that was the default situation with anyone other than our private Dr. who was to see me. My parents (mother especially) thought that I would be taken or harmed being somewhere by myself, or that I could have been monitored by who knows?. They felt the same way when I'd go see my physiotherapist. Some of it might have been warranted, but some probably wasn't.

Oh man I haven't had my tea black for so long now? also since a kid probably? I remember that I actually used to sip it up using a teaspoon though, so I guess that is pretty distinguished :D

Replying this to my first post must be a joke.

No, I don't drink or smoke, and I'm not addicted to coffee.



Don't worry, I've never had this impression of you!

Besides, those are like the 90s Canadian stereotypes. I know first-hand you guys are anything but apologetic, hmph! (that last one is actually not directed towards you, dw <3)

@LabMemberX Oh, you're a @deg that managed to escape from hell (but somehow ended up in another hell).

@fleurbleue

I get the hell part but I'm not sure why you're comparing me with deg...

@LSSJ_Chloe
Being a """good""" kid who plays along with every humiliation ritual that your teachers give you does not mean you are talented.

So you're telling me you think I'm rude and unapologetic?😭

@LabMemberX Well, he's the most well-known Filipino around MAL (which I kinda thought was common knowledge, but it seems it wasn't).

@fleurbleue

Um, I literally said that last thing wasn't about you??

See, you never read my posts until the end... rude Canadajin! :(

@Exhumatika You're oddly invested in matching me with @Commit_Crime, aren't you? I'm sadly not interested in anyone who might be into incest roleplay.

@Zarutaku Nah, I was actually trying to think of more polite words to say "boring" but I guess you do make attempts at humor. Probably all made with a poker face, though.

Maybe her fears were first fueled by real experiences, but fearing the dentist was kinda borderline paranoid (I'm sorry but that's how it looks like to me). I just hope you get to have some dentist check-ups now!

Well maybe partly.

Im not as aggressive as most people here, i dont want to attack neighbors countries, i hate socialism, i dont drink vodka.

But i understand that feeling of despair, i literally feel this heavy feeling hanging in the air, this history full of dirty gulags, wars, poverty and hate.
Maybe if i lived in another country, i would be a little more positive. But honestly i like my realistic look on life.
