USian wank, though.

USian wank isn't sparked by people hating on people from the United States, it's sparked by people from the United States getting angry at the basic concept of the word USians

(being completely neutral in my language here obv, don't want to tip the scales)

Oh, boy. That name.

The logic behind the name that some people had did not make sense.

Non-American F!Ser: Americans shouldn't call themselves "Americans" because there is a North and South American. South Americans are Americans too! You should call yourself "USAsians."
American F!S: But that doesn't make any sense. Americans denote a citizen of the country of the USA. If you are from North or South America, you use the terms "North American" and "South American" to denote being from those continents.
Non-American F!Ser: Well, I'm from Columbia. I should have the right to call myself American. It's not fair that Americans claim the name all to themselves. It's American-centric.
American F!S: Yeah, and you call yourselves "Latin" and claim it as your own despite Romans never stepping a single foot in the Western Hemisphere.
Non-American F!Ser: We don't call ourselves that. We call ourselves by our individual countries. Only Americans group us together.
American F!Ser: But you are grouping yourselves together by wanting the right to call yourselves "American."
Non-American F!Ser: We have a right to the name.
American F!ser: But you just said you don't group yourselves. Hence, the no "Latin" thing.
Non-American F!Ser: We don't.
American F!Ser: But you just said...and...Latin...group. Oh, screw it. You are just trolling now, aren't you.
Non-American F!Ser: That's very American centric of you to say.
American F!Ser: (dead stare)

and 50% of the time the "non-american" was american and just trolling

Sometimes those Americans weren't. Remember when F!S used to be flooded with "enlightened" Americans. Americans who used to argue such things like that the Japanese couldn't be racist toward whites in their own country because, according to them, the Japanese were not as powerful as Westerners. Never mind that Japan has one of the largest economies on the planet. Dwarfing most European countries. Nope. They saw a country full of "POCs" and automatically thought, "They are lesser than whites" in terms of power. In essence, they were being really racists in trying to not be racist.

Oh god, I remember that, that was so cringe worthy.

*blink* This....this is a thing?

A couple of years ago? Yes. Yes, it was.

Wow. I did not know that. Yeeks.

I particularly liked the "Jackson" comparison, though I can't seem to find it now.

What was the "Jackson" comparison?

Basically, that the US is like a guy named "Jackson" getting told by a bunch of people with the last name Jackson that he can't use Jackson anymore, even though it was the name he was born with, because they're all "Jacksons" too (but go by their first names, usually). All of his friends know him as Jackson, and he doesn't have another name to go by. Worse, instead of Jackson, those people have themselves renamed him "Mr." - which isn't even a name.

Oh hey, found it.
