Hej!

It's another quality shitpost by me, your favorite liberal furry

Just so you know, I am not Swedish nor do I live in Sweden.

I just love Sweden.

Now let's talk about Swedish Stereotypes!

YAY!

Nº 1: All Swedes are blue-eyed blondes

Even excluding foreigners, there are plenty of brunettes in Sweden. On Sweden's west coast, you'll find a surprising amount of redheads, too, probably from Danish influence.

Nº 2: All Swedes are very liberal

Sweden is known for being one of the most liberal nations on Earth. Swedes are generally accepting and open to new ideas, such an Gay Rights. But there are still plenty of conservatives there too.

Nº 3: IKEAS are everywhere

Sweden is rather famous for IKEA, which you should know about  and if you don't, shame on you. Yes, IKEAS are very common in Sweden, but there is one thing that prevents an average Swede's house from being surrounded by 13 IKEAS: space. IKEA stores need a lot of space, and in places like central Stockholm, it's unlikely there is 13 IKEA-sized empty plots up for sale in a single square kilometre.

Nº 4: Swedes are generally unemotional and/or suicidal

Swedes are overall more formal than your average American. Even at funerals, it's rare to see someone wail loudly. Some also believe that Sweden has one of the largest suicide rates in the world. Luckily, that's false. Swedes may be reserved, but Sweden isn't a depressing or suicidal country  after all they made Minecraft. Even if one gets depressed in Sweden, thanks to a strong safety net they can easily get the help they need.

'''Nº 5: Meatballs for dinner! And lunch and breakfast! E V E R Y  S I N G L E  D A Y!'''

Meatballs are very popular in Sweden, and not for a good reason- they can be delicious  or so I've been told ! But even then, meatballs are no more popular than an average burger.

I probably got 20-50% of the facts wrong

But first, I need to prepare for the deluge of salty conservatives...
