The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

I find the anglosphere's obsession with France and French culture (Paris in particular) really grating. So many people have this soppy, overromanticised view of the French when they don't even see themselves that way. For example, there are a lot of books on how to be like French women when French women are just like any other average women in a developed country.

Paris is extremley overrated as well. I still like French culture and the language though.

Megan Fox was never that hot. Just average-looking.

This reminds me of what people like to think of the UK, they will assume that it is a rich place full of posh people just because of the accent, if you say that, then you haven't been to Britain.

The only British accent known abroad that really almost automatically says posh is the Oxbridge accent. While the U.S. has some of these too, like the so-called Mid-Atlantic accent (think how Katharine Hepburn talked in films). Americans usually can't distinguish this, though, so pretty much any British accent that isn't obviously chav/cockney type shit seems posh.
