    Except that I didn’t make fun of anything, I merely pointed out that it’s plausible that Netflix felt like they had to dumb the Witcher down for American audiences.

    As Americans we have to fight constantly against this sabotage, WHILE working full-time jobs with greater hours and fewer benefits than any other Western country just so we can afford to go to a doctor–as we are called by not just the privileged in our country but the entire WORLD lazy, stupid, complacent and undeserving.

    And yeah, I recognize that sucks, but you don’t have to do that because of external forces, you have to do that because many people in the group called “Americans” repeatedly vote for politicians who put those systems in place. So when people call Americans stupid, there’s a reason for it. Many are stupid and vote for stupid shit that goes directly against their interest. I’m sorry if you don’t like to hear that or be associated with your fellow countrypeople who do, but it’s the reality of the situation when we’re talking about “Americans” as a whole.

      This you?

      I’m pretty sick of Americans feeling picked on.

      You have an illiteracy rate of like 20%. Make a real public school system and then we’ll talk.

      You weren’t just making fun, you were saying you’re sick of us being bothered when people made fun of us.

        Except that the context in which I was replying was not one where someone felt picked on because they got made fun of, it was one where someone felt picked on because someone said that it’s plausible they dumbed down the Witcher for Americans.

          @masterspace Yeah, but YOU are the one who brought public school into it and you did it in a clever little jokey way.

          If you had said “Well, that’s what you get for attacking the wrong country”, it would be one thing. But you went and made fun of the public school system. You punched down. And now, for your sins, you are stuck in this conversation.

            Because the quality of education affects intelligence, or more specifically, the ability to hold more/less complex witcher plotlines together in your head, so it is a rationale thing to bring up when discussing whether or not Americans are actually capable of holding more/less complex witcher plotlines together in their heads.

            You punched down

            No, I merely held up a mirror and caused you to have a temper tantrum
