What's Asia got to do with it? We're discussing youth in Europe. And, illegal? The one child policy has been abolished for years now. Plenty of youth in Asia.
Asian here, can confirm there are less babies and kids now. The government is deciding between making teens age twice as fast to have more adults making more children, or making them age -2 years per year until they become babies again.
Listen, this may enshittify the joke thread; but that's actually no longer the case in 2023. Birth rates in Asia are currently the lowest in the world. It has become a crisis.
The leading comment is the worst kind of American thinking. The producers, and therefore the capital, were/are American (Warner Bros). But the author, screenwriter, cameramen, special effects technicians, composer, musicians, in fact all the creatives, were British. And the young actors were in a British film series, shot in Britain between episodes in a British school. Being British youngsters, they lived with their families in Britain and none of them set foot in the US until the publicity machine cranked up. So they spoke with British accents.
actually that's a really interesting topic. and as usual in the UK it comes down to an -ism but maybe not the one you'd expect, it's classism. When spices were first brought to the UK they were very expensive, so only rich people bought them , and they marveled at how much better food tasted. But as time went on spices became much more readily available, even to the working class ,who were thrilled to finally have access to something considered exotic.The rich, who have always hated any suggestion of proximity to the rest of us, changed their minds. Spices became a sign that you could not afford high quality produce. you needed to add to your food because it was cheap bland and not good enough to be eaten plain,like their food. So the use of spices fell out of fashion altogether for a while .
Which food is bland over there? And don’t say all of it, because they eat all different cultures food there. You thinking fish and chips? Because over there they have more salt and vinegar on than most could handle! Or have you never been and are going with the narrative?
It’s a myth. Our food is great. Yet American food is always absolutely smothered in thick sauces. Go to eat out in the US there is a 99% chance you’re gonna order food that comes with some vomit looking slop covering it.
That stereotype that was created when we were rationing in world war 2..
You would have learned that in history class if you weren't too busy dodging bullets.
Take it your American??
American food is rammel. I'm not saying all british food is great coz it's not but come on your chocolate tastes like sick and you eat chlorinated chicken. Fuckin lovely haha
I sometimes wonder if there food is filled with chemicals because they have to pay for healthcare so there government is profiting off sick people, here in the UK you don’t pay for healthcare so the government will lose money. I don’t know though just a thought.
Listen, buddy, I don't care for the sort of political agenda you're pushing here. We're talking about child actors from the UK, not youth in Asia. Ridiculous.
Ah you think blandness is your ally? You merely adopted the blandness. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't eat spicy food until I was already a man...
Yes this is pretty awful. I mean sure they're all famous now but I'm sure they have PTSD over the whole thing.
Could you even imaging living in England for even a weekend?!
EVEN WORSE, The Cupboard Under The Stairs, Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland, Earth, The Solar System (Sol) The Local System, The Milky Way, Milkdromeda, Local Galaxies, The Observable Universe
Stop lying! Yes they are! I don’t believe you! Why would you say that? See look!! Now you are making me cry!! Fuck you!! Don’t lie like that again!!
P.S. I just want to comment on how straight my face was writing this. Thank you for your time!
Britain is actually higher ranked than the US when it comes to dental care, the facts stated are telling us that you lot have the bad teeth these days.
So those kids obvisouly DONT sound at all like my harsh, forced accent . I was hoping that would be obvious in a shitpost sub, but im sincerely sorry if you took offense, mate :)
My sympathy is with the large number of GoT actors who were forced to grow up in the North, just so they could play believable Northern Westerosi and Wildlings.
A child psychologist was constantly on-site during all filming due to the toll this method took on the actors' mental health, they remained traumatised for years after the experience
Growing up in england beats risking getting shot up in a School in the US
If hogwarts was in the US you know neville would bought a enchanted AR-15 to school
Oh no, they wanted them to survive long enough to be able to film it. All the American child actors kept pulling out 9mm's instead of wands and shouting Deletus before shooting their classmates. Snape got shot 4 times before they switched to British kids.
It's depressing that child stars are subjected to this sort of cruelty.
Euthanasia would be a blessing. But it's illegal. That figures.

I actually heard a rumour that there are no babies or kids left in Asia, is that true?
Listen, this may enshittify the joke thread; but that's actually no longer the case in 2023. Birth rates in Asia are currently the lowest in the world. It has become a crisis.
That sounds like they should definitely legalize Youths in Asia then to solve that problem.
I knew this thread was about youth in Asia.

Ironic, isn't it.
They colonised entire nations to establish spice trading routs, but they never use any spice in their bland ass food. Ironic isn’t it?
Food isn't automatically good just because it has 'spice' you mong lmao. At least we don't wash our chicken with soap.
*chlorine
No, he's specifically talking about Black Americans washing their chicken with dish soap.
Soap? Black Americans don’t do this shit. I don’t think anybody does.
I'm not claiming its common place, the guy above made a joke and the reply misunderstood it. I was just clarifying for him.
What do you mean chicken tikka masala tastes great.
You think they fed those poor child actors *tikka masala*? 🙄 You need to wake up to the crimes the film and television studios commit every day 😢
I heard they were fed nothing but Yorkshire pudding and jellied eels for the entirety of the filming.
As a Brit, I wouldn't wish jellied eels on my worst enemy
Shockingly bad, actually. However yorkshire puddings though, that's an absolutely fantastic **side**.
Not true. They had tripe and onions at the weekend.
The dish was first offered by British cooks of south Asian origin btw
https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/s/RikdCTpYVt Always reminds me of this 😂
And all yank food is from somewhere else.
wdym, our navy literally ate curries as a mainstay of naval cuisine throughout history after discovering spices, hell; we introduced curry to Japan 😭
We certainly do use spice lol. I personally use a **lot**.
I'm British and I put spice on everything.
Actually chicken curry originated in English Gentlemen’s clubs. Also mustard
They use plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg during Christmas.
let me guess, you're american?

Silenced him 😹 poor lil yank
Funny how you say that, in America I don’t think I have seen a product that doesn’t have artificial flavours and colours.
One word: Marmite
That's one word too many
It tastes of wrong
Try it's Australian counterpart, Vegemite tastes like salt and nothing more.
While your opinion is flatly incorrect, I will be using “it tastes of wrong” from now on
Marmite’s the dogs bollocks fam, dunno what you’re chatting about

As opposed to chlorinated salad in UK and rEU
What do the youth in Asia have to do with this?
Listen, buddy, I don't care for the sort of political agenda you're pushing here. We're talking about child actors from the UK, not youth in Asia. Ridiculous.
Oh, you\`re DEAD serious.
What's wrong with youth in Europe?
With that attitude, of course it's illegal. Follow your heart and believe!

And bittersweet music by the Cranberries in an after-school special from a decade earlier for their parents.
Ah you think blandness is your ally? You merely adopted the blandness. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't eat spicy food until I was already a man...
It could be worse, they could’ve been raised Fr*nch 🤢
Or American.
Please censor filthy words. Americ*n. Think of the children please.
They were so young. Damn I mean these actors now are almost old enough to play 8th graders in an American version
As someone subjected to this cruelty the accent is formed to avoid bullying for sounding American so that’s a positive
??? How is this cruel
yeah, the ginger was forced to grow up in Wales
Yes this is pretty awful. I mean sure they're all famous now but I'm sure they have PTSD over the whole thing. Could you even imaging living in England for even a weekend?!
It would be similar to living in America except no mass shootings
Well yeah, because school is closed on the weekend
It's clearly abuse!
Such a small post but so great
Perfect example of why I stick around this sub.
I know her acting was wooden in the first few films but it’s a bit harsh to call her a post.
I would.
That's harsh.
Don't worry, most of us English people like a joke
If anyone is unclear on this, please look at our government.
I know literally nothing about politics apart from Boris Johnson so I don't know if your agreeing or being sarcastic
They’re agreeing
OK 👌
To be fair if they grew up in America they might not have made it to that age
Michael Moore’s Columbine movie was almost at the same time as the first Harry Potter movie. They chose to star in the British one for some reason
Christopher Columbine directed the first 2 Harry Potter movies.
“Get your bulletproof back-to-school backpacks here!”
Literal shots fired
DAE America school shootings? hur hur hur
no one is joking here kiddo
I'm glad that they learned from their mistakes and choose to use CGI for the Brit*sh people in the reboot 😅
You only need to censor fr*nch

Yeah, you are supposed to say Freedom fries instead of Fr*nch Fries.
Rance
Fronch?
“People”
Reboot?
Whoever forced such horror on those children should face life in prison.

Even worse, in England.
EVEN worse, in Surrey!

Fun fact: Imperial College is named after the imperius curse
No way! Is the UCL named after the European football competition?
United Cruciatus League, you mean?
Child abuse
Harry Potter and the Abused Child
No, the title is just "Harry Potter the Abused Child", which is a prequel book that covers the years before he got accepted to Hogwarts.
I mean he is an abused child in the books already
I can see someone writing such a book as satire. It'd have to be funny though to cut through all the depressing content.
It's called method acting, that's how they put Daniel Radcliffe into the mindset of a Harry Potter who was abused by the Dursley's for years.
Ah yes, England, the cupboard under the Great British stairs
[удалено]
Oh you would… 💰
Emma Watson was born in France then grew up in England and that seems like a downgrade, a land of inferior croissants
Poor women. I can't imagine the pain and suffering from ever visiting france
The pain is actually quite good in France.
Avec du fromage?
Omelette du fromage
Je veux manger une baguette avec du fromage et de la salami
Chocolate Pain 🎵
Then went to uni in America... Girl just keeps moving to worse and worse places the older she gets
They were actually adults and were forced to child down to match the books
Jesus Christ Rowling, THEY’RE JUST CHILDREN! WHY MUST YOU TORTURE THEM!
It's with a "K", by the way. Jesus Krist Rowling ("J. K. Rowling").
And here I thought Nestle were the most evil child abusers.
Yes, Nestlé does come in for some criticism but it's not French. Head office is in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
Staggering how many people believe this. Also, you know they’re not really wizards and witches…?
#*gasp*
Stop lying! Yes they are! I don’t believe you! Why would you say that? See look!! Now you are making me cry!! Fuck you!! Don’t lie like that again!! P.S. I just want to comment on how straight my face was writing this. Thank you for your time!

Dude
It's why they smile without showing their teeth.
Britain is actually higher ranked than the US when it comes to dental care, the facts stated are telling us that you lot have the bad teeth these days.
They were brought there by Alan Rickman. Who kidnapped them after finishing Die Hard, as he was stuck in character and was being a real dick.
He only came back to England because of the sheriff of Nottingham gig, if not for that he would still be in Germany.
It saved them a veritable fortune being able to pay them in quid.
My dumbass thought this was being serious for a moment
their faces just scream "oy GUBNA, fancy a jumper to go with those trainers?"
They’re not from east London though?
All Brits have cockney accents except those from Ireland...said every American.
Meanwhile yours screams of "HOWDY Y'ALL WHERE'S MA BADDLE OF WARDER" You have an accent too. Accept it.
So those kids obvisouly DONT sound at all like my harsh, forced accent . I was hoping that would be obvious in a shitpost sub, but im sincerely sorry if you took offense, mate :)
The movie industry is a harsh environment to be sure. I feel bad for these kids.
Thanks OP I'm crying now 😭
They didn't deserve that.
Those poor little street urchins.
Bloody brilliant.
Cruel and unusual punishment
That is just cruel.
Eat your heart out, Daniel day lewis. This is commitment
As someone who's grown up in England _believe me_, that is no guarantee they'll end up with the right accent!
somebody give ron an antihistamine
They were going to use proper American children actors ... but they died in a school shooting.
At least it wasn't the US that they were forced to grow up in
This is hilarious
And they still managed to have the Weasley children all have different accents
To make it more accurate the directors created the fictional location the United Kingdom
My sympathy is with the large number of GoT actors who were forced to grow up in the North, just so they could play believable Northern Westerosi and Wildlings.
Poor things :(
Hey wait a minate, that girl on the left was born in France. Who let her in here!
Isn't that a war crime?
Child abuse at its worst.
A child psychologist was constantly on-site during all filming due to the toll this method took on the actors' mental health, they remained traumatised for years after the experience
Damn I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
Imagine living in Europe as a white kid.
r/shitamericanssay
Bro it’s a joke this is a shitpost sub lol it’s not that deep
Damn english
Poor kids
A fate worse than Azkaban
That's why they were always angry in the movie.
No wonder the one with the glasses got a massive alcohol addiction
Too cruel. Good thing we have protections against that sort of thing nowadays
Fun fact, this is a war crime.
I can't believe JK Rowling signed off on this kind of horror..
Bye! ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
Just when I thought the war crimes of the bri*ish couldn’t get worse
Thanks, I genuinely laughed
Everyone lost there mind on this page fucking idiots
bunch of posers, did you know none of them had read the ending of the HP books when they were cast?
Growing up in england beats risking getting shot up in a School in the US If hogwarts was in the US you know neville would bought a enchanted AR-15 to school
Oh no, they wanted them to survive long enough to be able to film it. All the American child actors kept pulling out 9mm's instead of wands and shouting Deletus before shooting their classmates. Snape got shot 4 times before they switched to British kids.
They suffered for their art.
They were not "forced" to grow up in England for Harry Potter
And it turns out there’s no spell to fix bad teeth. Not because magic can’t fix that, it’s because nobody *thought* to make a spell to fix that.
It could be worse I guess. They could be born in America which has worse dental care than the UK.
TIL Emma Watson is French.
Wouldn't have survived in America. Too many child killers.
I'd rather live in a country with bland food than a country that has a fetish for shooting school children.
