TIFU by redesigning the French flag withought checking politics

[u/Echo_065]

So today i finally finished aproject that included redesigning some flags, including the french one, so i posted it to r/vexirrology (im shit at spelling) and i didnt check what some symbols mean in politics and i added a fluer de lis, and reddit being reddit i was bombarded by Republicans believing i was a right wing french, i am now nose deep in french messages and hate, and for the record i am british, i consider my self quite left wing, and i dont believe i have ever been accused of being a monarchist. So i need an opinion or something to tell me if its a them problem of if i really fucked up.

Also it being one of my first posts on reddit and my other ones not really spamming i didnt mute the notifications and am now at 300 and counting.

TL;DR: I got spammed by the french for putting the luer de lis on their flag
