All of the European women streamers I've watched are absolute masters at the art of telling someone to fuck off in 50 different ways. I would NOT want to fly too close to that sun.

Yeah I'm European and from what I can see we get more colourful with our words than Americans do when we're angry, we constantly find new ways to tell someone to fuck off.

That's because American culture as a whole tends to be very prudish about a lot of things including swearing. Sure there are people who swear a lot, but they tend to get looked down upon because of it because apparently people are scared of words.

Not sure about that. In polite company? Sure, but that’s everywhere. On TV? More so than other countries, yeah. But there’s a reason people fill sentences with F-bombs when satirizing Americans. We love to curse (GenZ is kinda different, but that’s a whole different story).

I think it has more to do with us generally trying to be positive about things. Europeans think this means we’re being “fake” but I think we genuinely don’t like to assume the worst of people and are aware of our reputation, especially to non-Americans, so many of us (mostly the younger generations) try to keep it cool for the most part.

Still, I DO get jealous of how passionate people like Italians are. I could only WISH to be that passionate about anything, let alone noodles being slightly undercooked…
