despite (or perhaps because of) their meek and polite and inoffensive nature, brits are tough as nails. they've been through troubles few other first world countries have suffered. incredibly hardship, being straight up BOMBED and shit, frequent upheavals... it takes a lot more than something a bit violent happening in a cartoon to rustle any of their jimmies
except jimmies in the UK are called jameses

That doesn't even work as an anti-joke. I genuinely don't understand why you took the time to make this comment.

Are you stupid?

That would apply to all of Europe though...

and isn't it ironic how the german word for shrike is "Würger", which literally translats to "choker". It's like the one thing these fuckers don't do.
>>81171735
what
>>81172216
the shrike, that bird, impales animals on branches for street cred.
It never chokes anyone.

>Why are British cartoons sadistic as fuck?
The same reason they welcome a bloodthirsty religion with open arms.
They are so repressed they actually want to die.

Just yesterday there were reports of parents complaining to Channel 5 for showing Watership Down.
We definitely get our fair share of jimmie rustling over trivial shit, possibly more than our fair share, even if you don't hear about it as much.

With the possible exceptions of France and Spain (both of which have had periods of subjugation and multiple republican phases), the British are the only Europeans to lay claim to substantive and lasting empires.
Empires take soldiers; soldiers return from war and have an effect on the national psyche. It's not that the British are warlike, just that centuries of warfare has a formative effect on worldview, which tends toward optimistic pragmatism. I'm not saying it's good or bad, mind you. It's just what it is.

People complain all the time; Brits in particular love to complain, just not often about classic film. Exception proves the rule.

Watership Down and Plague Dogs were both created by the same people. Animals of Farthing Wood was a joint project between by British and French teams.
It has nothing to do with being produced in Britain.

Germany was the architect of its own demise, when they realized they'd lost they could have surrendered and spared Germany what came next.

The point at which the carpet bombings began was years before it was clear Germany had lost. The RAF's ABD dates from 1942; all Germany had lost in respect of the British at that time was the Battle of Britain. Despite having domestic air superiority, the British were incapable of breaking out onto the continent and were continuing to suffer reversals of their own elsewhere in the world.
The ABD specifically targeted civilians for morale purposes, using 4,000 pound devices at the top end and innumerable smaller devices in saturation-bombing campaigns. Dresden, the most well-known target of Bomber Command, wasn't really destroyed until early 1945, when the war in Europe was still in full swing, but it was simply a product of that same ABD from February 1942, which was simply a tit-for-tat trade on the German tactic up to that point. It was effective, but the cost was high and at the end of the war it was clear to all parties that there was no moral high-ground to be had; it was only "fortuitous" in the sense of the Nazi regime having turned out to be very, very bad indeed, otherwise the tactics of area bombing of civilian targets would have been impossible to justify, and this was recognised not only in international law but in the length of time it took for Bomber Command and Bomber Harris himself to get any sort of official, specific memorial. What they did - and what Harris explicitly makes clear in his autobiography - was to deliberately target the German people, primarily in the Ruhr valley, considering any urban area of 100,000 or more population to be a primary target, even following the Casablanca directive's amendments to their orders in 1943.
Had the war gone differently of course our German-speaking equivalents would today be arguing that "Britain was the architect of its own demise" for refusing to capitulate and for pursuing an inhuman and likely illegal bombing campaign against civilian targets long after the point at which it could win.
