About
Does This Happen In Your Country? is a catchphrase popular on 4chan that is used primarily as a request for relation, but can also convey other meanings. Popularized on 4chan's /int/ and /bant/ boards, the catchphrase has remained in active use on 4chan since 2021.
Origin
The phrase "does this happen in your country" has originally been used on 4chan's /int/ and /pol/ boards in its literal sense, for inquiring if a certain thing that is commonplace in one country also happens in other countries. In 2017-2019 period, the phrase achieved association with discussions related to immigration to Europe, race mixing and similar topics, with the post often bringing up a negative personal experience and the catchphrase used to punctuate it (2017, 2018 and 2019 /pol/[1][2][3] posts shown below, left and right).

Ever since the prime minister visited the Bilderburg group meeting we have a constant media barrage of how much we need refugees and other third world immigrants. Basically they are saying if we don't take immigrants immediately every national project we have will fail and we will run out of workforce and die. The leader of social democrats said we need to take 50,000 very soon. We have entrepreneurs, who are mostly foreign or represent foreign corporations, lobbying the government hard to destroy the laws that keep immigration from happening. We have the parliament trying to find ways to get immigrants in for random projects. Does this happen in your country?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/457/233/67e.jpg)

The use of the catchphrase first deviated into a humorous direction approximately in mid-2019, when 4chan users started using it as a non-sequitur comment for images of homosexual intercourse, among other things. This was common primarily on the /r/int and /r/bant boards. For example, on August 29th, 2019, an Australian user used the catchphrase together with an LGBTQ+ comic (shown below, left).[4] On September 4th, 2019, an Argentinian user combined it with the Daily Dose meme (shown below, center).[5] On May 16th, 2020, a user paired[6] it with a pornographic drawing made by Chris-Chan.
Starting in mid-2021, the comment stated being used as a general request for relation. For example, on June 6th, 2021, a French user made a /pol/[7] thread about dating in which they used the catchphrase in such a way (shown below, right)
