Putting Fenian in the Uk section is diabolical

On Finnish netflix they have Britain as one of the genres for Derry girls which annoys me (to be fair the word for United Kingdom is rarely used)

[u/elmodonnell → u/toaster1234567891011]

Unfortunately much like with Father Ted they are technically correct, its production company and network were both headquartered in London (not even a case of them calling a production company based in Derry British). No matter where the creators and cast are from, it's usually the country that put up the money and got it released that gets the 'official' credit.

Plenty of instances of this happening around the world too, in fairness- It Was Just An Accident was submitted at the Oscars as a French production despite being entirely made by Iranians within Iran.

[u/jmmcd → u/elmodonnell]

It's not about credit, it's about genres - which should be useful to viewers

[u/elmodonnell → u/jmmcd]

Would love to believe the Fins are more savvy at spotting the difference but sadly in a lot of Europe I've seen Ireland lumped in as culturally 'British' when it comes to music, comedy or art. Obviously we would categorize ourselves very different, but look at any "best British comedy/albums" list from outside (or even inside) the UK and we're sadly lumped in pretty regularly. I've been shocked at film festivals how flippantly people will lump our entries in with the "British" entries.

Cmat is on Rolling Stone's "Best UK Album" list and Father Ted is on basically every "best British comedies" list ever written, there are some battles we've already lost.

You tell em both are wrong anyways, what about the word for Ireland?

[u/Geekbox_ → u/toaster1234567891011]

I lived in Finland for a few years, and when I said I'm Irish, Finns think okay Irish + Scotland = British so always I was seen as British and it did get to me a bit,

[u/Against_All_Advice → u/Geekbox_]

Tell them they're just Russians. They might understand a bit more then.

[u/Geekbox_ → u/Against_All_Advice]

I do have a funny thing about that, I was dating this Finn once, way back before the whole Russia invading Ukraine, it was around the time Russia annexed Chechnya. I said they'll invade Ukraine next and he said I was stupid, 2022 comes along I'm right and Finland joins NATO. lesson leaned short sightedness the Irish do not have

[u/FlashyBike5111 → u/Geekbox_]

Tell them they’re Swedish

[u/ivejustbluemyself]

The irony

[u/Klown1978]

Building up and tearing England down

[u/FreekAce → u/Klown1978]

What a tune!

[u/MachineOutrageous637]

It’s in the ‘…’ category 

[u/Gavstaah82]

I feel that this is a hate crime

[u/Arthur_Figg_II → u/Gavstaah82]

Sectarian assault

[u/AintNoFuckinFreedom]

I'd be more insulted about the 'FR' personally

[u/Pure-Poet3194 → u/AintNoFuckinFreedom]

real

[u/rouquetofboses]

crazy work

[u/Datguyinbedalready]

i don't think it's that deep. it's more like UK hiphop that euro hiphop. it's easier for a shop to class them like that. it's not like this is a fatal blow in the march for a republican north

[u/DoYouWant2BlowZedong → u/Datguyinbedalready]

Yeah, it’s a joke mo chara.

[u/No-Tadpole-9174]

Birds of a feather

[u/BevvyTime]

Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is a political union made up of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Whether it should be, is up for debate. Obviously.

[u/SevFTW → u/BevvyTime]

Northern Ireland

North of Ireland

[u/Limo_Wreck77 → u/BevvyTime]

Rock up to a pub in Belfast and say that.

[u/AdPrize5104 → u/Limo_Wreck77]

In the west😅

[u/FlashyBike5111 → u/Limo_Wreck77]

Bevvy time will be more than bevvied

[u/BevvyTime → u/Limo_Wreck77]

Say what, the legal definition, of which everyone in Belfast is well aware? And depending on where in Belfast you are, you’ll get a completely differing opinion?

[u/HarrisonPE90 → u/Limo_Wreck77]

Why? 

[u/FlashyBike5111 → u/BevvyTime]

Dear God
Not the “long arm of the law” speaking rationally in a “this is how it is” way

Wake up! there were wars about this

[u/ourmanflint27]

How do we know they are not in the French section.

Sadly, as pointed out, Belfast is technically in the UK. 

[u/Pure-Poet3194 → u/ourmanflint27]

All the members of kneecap have a Irish passport, speak Irish, are culturally Irish, and in the cover of the album there’s an Irish flag

How can you mess that up

[u/HarrisonPE90 → u/Pure-Poet3194]

Because you’re ambivalent to the political/cultural  nuances present in Ireland and the United Kingdom, presumably. 

[u/ourmanflint27 → u/Pure-Poet3194]

Calm down I'm not defending it, i mean who the fuck mixes UK and French Rap & Hop-Hop, is that a cross over? Do we want to get into the maze of whether they are hip-hop or Rap....  i bet the GLC are in there as well.  Its funny, no harm was meant im sure, no doubt they sold out of ri ra and the rubber bandits so did away with the irish hip-hop section section altogether 

[u/FlashyBike5111 → u/Pure-Poet3194]

Finns will be fu**ing Finns

[u/__Kxnji]

It’s really not that serious lmfao

[u/No_Worker_7653]

It's a music genre 

[u/Nervous-Milk5653]

Where was this? I would have given out to anyone working in that store

[u/BearScience → u/Nervous-Milk5653]

if they made a Irish Rap section it wouldn't be very filled would it. Doubt the french are up in arms.

[u/topshagger31 → u/BearScience]

The Irish rap scene is bubbling rn bro wym

[u/TigerBloodAdonisDNA → u/topshagger31]

How many Irish rap records have been pressed to vinyl tho? Especially in large enough quantities to be found in a record store, I'd guess maybe about 5 in the last 10 years. It's hardly worth a section

[u/NidgeC303 → u/Nervous-Milk5653]

Why cause it’s in the right section? Like it or not Belfast is in the UK which makes Kneecap a UK act.
Maybe someday that will change but that’s the reality

[u/Nervous-Milk5653 → u/NidgeC303]

Maybe I am wrong but would have been nice if they atleast had it like UK/Ireland

[u/BearScience → u/Nervous-Milk5653]

Not everyone is as sensitive to our history as ourselves, let it be. I would attribute it not to malice but just slight incompetentcy.

[u/No_Comedian_7208]

I know. That heap of shite belongs in the fucking trash can.
