This meme is inescapable on French insta so I’m posting it here for all to enjoy

Always reblog flash debate

on it boss

reminder that the presenter says “oh, shut up” not “can it”

Native French speaker here. “Ta gueule” is actually more like “shut the fuck up” in terms of level of disrespect

also worth noting is that the “are you happy” is the correct gender

a screenshot of tags which read as follows: the trans man gets the correct pronouns but he also gets the formal you (vous) while the guy he tells to shut the fuck up gets the informal (ta as the possessive of the informal tu). this is a concise put down the likes of which we simply cannot achieve in English.
