I hate Turkey because some weird guy keeps fooling around with my ice cream. I paid for it damn you

Turkish ice cream is delicious.

This is so dumb. They weren't originally named after a bird, they were named after a type of footstool.

Ask Serj Tankian how he feels about the government of Turkiye.

A not insignificant amount of people probably know as much, or more, about System of a Down than they do about Turkiye... and thus likely know Turkiye as 'that beautiful, diverse country that is unfortinately still run by an autocrat who won't acknowledge past/ongoing ethnic repression and genocide.'

The bird is named after the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_(bird)#Names

(So now when they've renamed the country, the bird ought to be renamed too.)

Just doesn't feel right to carve up an Ottoman Empire for Thanksgiving.

I have no problem with Islam, I have a huge problem with religion in government.

Dictatorship.

I hate Turkey because I played Kinght Online back in the day and it went from most people speaking English (as it was a global mmo) to everyone speaking Turkish basically overnight.

So basically the Turks conquered the online territory I was part of.

classic turco/mongolian hijinks. good on the lads.

People hate us turks for various reasons.

  1. They visited turkey as tourists and were exploited through high prices, haggling, rude and impatient service sector workers

  2. They met some of the brainwashed assholes that are sucking up to the current dictator

  3. They have an immigrant community of turks in their country that don't assimilate

  4. They are or have connections to a historical group of people with bad blood with turks (serbs, greeks, armenians) NB : I do not think that those people are bad.

  5. Because the current state of the country is a fucking disaster for various perspectives

  6. BECAUSE TÜRKİYE NUMBER VAN BAYBEE, DATS VHY I LIVE DIASPORA TIME! IS NICE!

Everyone in Germany relates. Though the public image of Turks in Germany was vastly improved after OTHER arabic/african immigrants started coming.

Also, give back Constantinople.

I think it's because of schwarma. Mmm.

but Hans is still willing to claim the kebab as the greatest thing since hamburger steaks.

Also, give back Constantinople.

No

Well I thought I'd ask. With that I've already done more than the latin kingdoms 1445 onwards.
