Internet and toxic people

O.Giroud · 2025-12-07T21:50:43+0000

Hello,
On the French internet there are toxic people everywhere

First do you know what it means a toxic person
For exemple (It's not the only one) its is someone who wants to prove he is superior when you discuss with him
Or, he don't care of the truth, he wants to prove he is right (even when what he says is wrong)

And there are no forums, where there is no toxic people in France...

Is it the same in UK ? Are there many toxic people too ?

Thanks you and hello from France. (The problem in France are the people but its a nice country)

No toxic people here in GD. None whatsoever.

Thank you

Well i am surprised. Maybe i'll stay a little to check. I am so used to that on French forums it is full of toxic people, that's it's hard to believe that there is no one toxic here

Do you have sarcasm in France? We have that in GD

O.Giroud · 2025-12-07T22:05:16+0000

Yes we have. But sarcasm in English when you are french...not so easy to understand !

It's refreshing to see that even the French recognise this.

My french ex gf didn't understand british sarcasm and our dry humor. She took things literally and got offended. I really had to consciously not be sarcastic in her presence. Wasn't easy.

Is sarcasm a toxic thing ?

But thats what they are. They are toxic. But in real life they want to look good and they hide that they are toxic

It's the toxicity of our city, particularly when you're eating seeds as a pastime activity.

Are you sure you're not the toxic one and people are just responding in kind? Outlandish idea, I know, but this is GD.

It's because we don't have to prove anything, we're English and you're just French.

Oi. From your other fellow Britons, we'll have none of that. You are English. Don't come out with that royal we.

Nope. We're delightful. Especially me.
