Just stumbled on this shit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlord_embroidery
The literal embodiement of Britain's never ending butthurt and obsession with France as a result of the 1066 conquest
You literally CANNOT make this shit up
> make an embroidery of a great battle, hard won
> somehow this is a bad thing
Obsessed.

More like
>still butthurt about 1066
>think of D-Day as a revenge invasion of Normandy
>have a tapestry made about D-Day with specific requirment to make it bigger than the Bayeux one
>>3388424
You're projecting your own insecurities. Brits see the Normans in a positive light, and emulating the Bayeaux tapestry is an act of historical reverence, not some misplaced hatred of the French.

>Brits see the Normans in a positive light
>>3388392
thanks for the laugh OP
>>3388439
This
It was the first time Britain fought a real enemy so they felt like immortalizing it
I mean, OP, you'd rather they make a tapestry about their "glorious" conquest of Zulus or the Designated Shitting Country?

>Britain makes a tapestry as a homage to that other tapestry they made
>Frog immediately gets butthurt due to being reminded how utterly BTFO his pathetic country got in 1940
>projects his butthurt onto the English
>>3388392
>commemorate battle
>pays tribute to the Bayeux tapestry and the Normans
>OMG SO BUTTHURT LOL
>>3388439
I hope it lasts as long as the Bayeux tapestry has.

>It was the first time Britain fought a real enemy
Have you heard of the Seven Years' War? Unless, of course, you don't consider the Ancien Regime at its height a 'real enemy'.
>>3388424
This is your brain on /int/.
>>3388529
>Seven Years' War--AFTER 1066
>>3388448
We do. The Normans turned Anglo-Saxonland into England, they're an integral part of our history. Also, the Normans were an real life DLC.
>>3388529
Are you perhaps a Frenchist yourself?
>>3388697
I am neither pro, nor anti French.
>>3388392
You're projecting pretty hard there, anon. It's a little sad
Does this board receive funding from the french government or something
so much projection from butthurt frenchies
>>3388529
>Have you heard of the Seven Years' War?
Yes it was a war between Prussia and the Rest of Europe
Oh, maybe you were talking about that one secondary theater on which Brits took a decade to defeat a French force they outnumbered 4 to 1 while France was busy with Prussia in Europe?
>>3388888
Wasted dubquints
>>3388888
Waste of quints.
Reminder that the anglo is supreme and frenchmen are soft degenerate fools who suffer from an eternal sense of self-loathing and jealousy
>>3388439
>Brits see the Normans in a positive light
HAHAHAHAHAHA
no
>>3388392
Brits are obsessed with French because their language constanstly remind them that they were conquered by French
>>3390524
HAHAHAHAHA
yes
>>3390547
i wouldnt have thought brits were obsessed with the french as these anti-brit threads are always made by french and are full of french posters.
I never see a british person making butthurt threads against france, only in the reverse.... says it all, really
>>3388392
>make an embroidery of supposed great british victory
>choose a battle won by americans and canadians with british playing a minor supporting role
>>3391705
no u

>as these anti-brit threads are always made by french and are full of french posters.
This is what you actually believe
Try browsing /int/ and you'll be surprized by the nationality of people who praise France and insult Britain
Man, /his/ really needs flags to stop faggots like you from assuming nationality of posters based on their opinions
>>3392021
Brits have this weird complex that makes them think that only Frogs&Krauts hate them when they're viewed as subhuman vermin in 90% of the world.

I find it surprising that the English press is so outraged by the Cologne fans for lighting flares and pissing on the streets when the first thing I saw in Cologne when I went there for the World Cup in 2006 were rows upon rows of drunk England fans, lined against the wall of the Cologne cathedral, pissing,
