Anyone else hate British cuteness?

[Boba Frag]

Read some 2000AD- it'll make your head spin!

Also- Muggles from Harry Potter is aimed squarely at children and silly people.

Tolkien is the grandaddy of fantasy- you're telling me that there isn't anything dark in his books?

Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight.

You're basing your opinion that British like 'cute' things, because of ONE WORD in HARRY POTTER?

...That's just... Absurd.

Enought people have already said "WTF?!" to this so I'm just going to address the word "Muggle". It's supposed to be a somewhat derogatory slang word for someone who is effectively disabled in the way that they cannot use magic. Since the wizards in the stories are mostly British, it sounds about right for them to use the word "Muggle" in that sense. If they were Asian then maybe they'd put some random apostrophes in it but it's an extension of English, not a whole new language. There is no "wizarding language" in Harry Potter.

I'm American and I have no idea what you're talking about. Seriously confused about what you're talking about, here.

I thought hanging on in quiet desperation was the british way?

And I will see you my friend on the dark side of the moon!

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

What the fuck are you talking about?
Maybe you've confused us with the fucking care bears or something?
Seriously, no one here as a clue what you are talking about.
Hell, i'm now tempted to set up a thread intilted- 'Anyone else hate American ignorance?' based off one person.

Fucking this, go man go!

Isn't George R. R. Martin British too? Game of Thrones is pretty manly, last I checked.

No. George R. R. Martin is American.

Anybody else notice the first part of the user name was 'irrelevant'?

 

[Goldjit]

British and cute? *books an eye and hearing test for you*

And here I thought you'd have something more to say.

 

[Lucane]

British cuteness?
Im British and you've lost me already. XD

Maybe he had a bad choice of words and by cuteness he meant he didn't like their pattern of silly/made-up names and thinking if it's made for kids it's an attempt to look kid friendly as in brightly colored,non threatening and/or cute

Though I think that's bad logic it might be the train of thought.

 

[UltraDeth]

Glad to see I'm not the only one confused by this

 

[Techno Squidgy]

Everything I want to say has already been said but I still want to throw out my opinion to this silly yank berk.

 

[Hazard12]

Why are people still registering their opinion that they don't think he's right? I mean yeah, it needed to be said but 15 pages of people going "NO!"? Doesn't the first page kind of cover it?

 

[M920CAIN]

Harry Potter is a bad example. Pls. give another.

 

[Keewa]

Now then you lot, cease your prattle and make me a cuppa, I'm parched!

 

[PatSilverFox]

I think the OP has confused British with Australian (or Japanese :s)

 

[Brutal Peanut]

16 pages and 546 posts, and I bet they'll be a few more before the day is out. *whistles*

Edit: Also, when I first read the thread title I thought it read,"..British Cutscenes."

 

[Xaio30]

Successful troll is successful

I wholeheartedly agree.
Surely more people have realized it by now?

 

[Naal]

As an American I say, what the hell? From what I have experienced the culture tries to tag on more grittiness.
