No, I am just standing my (and my nations) ground against what is simply bad faith disrespect and what could be described as casual racism (or at least spiritually equivalent to that, to not get into the racism definition debate).

You do not get to invalidate that.

People need to stop insulting my nation.

If the people you're joking with aren't laughing, you're not joking with them but about them, which is generally seen as a bad move, and something that we actually wanted to leave behind with all the social progress and all.

This really only happens because people (as all bullies) think that they would be free to do so, because the victims would not fight back.

(Un)fortunately though, the world now has bigger problems with genuine fascists, so neurotically cowering in fear and performatively saying "yes, punch me harder. Insult me more" can be stopped now.

I mean look at it. By now, it's at least better, but the first 30 comments or so were "haha germany bad haaa".

That's a terrible showing for the platform even if you're not german. What value was offered? Who would want this.

We don't even need to talk about nations and identities to see that that was just noise.
