    I also have to agree, i know its usually meant in jest, but it sits wrong with me to just continually lambast them like this.

      Yeah, ultimately the french can be annoying with the idealization of their culture, but the anti french jokes drown even that out. I’m not a francophile by any means, but part of what I liked about Expedition was how french it was. Hell it opened me up to the possibility that I may be interested in more french media.

      Yeah turns out for all people mock emo french art, it turns out that at least sometimes I really like it, especially since as I’ve gotten older I’ve grown more and more appreciative of media that’s more artistic.

      Expedition 33 makes me want to contemplate some Claude Cahun photos over a cigarette before having some artisinal cheese, a good crusty bread, and a glass of wine.

      Their language still makes the Dutch look good though.

      I think the fact that it was completely unprompted makes it especially trashy as a way to behave.

      Both OP and the reviewer seem to want to indulge in bigotry to make themselves feel superior, and think if they pick a target that’s not on the classic protected lists, they won’t get called on it. But it’s still the same ugly activity even when it’s not against a marginalised group.
