About

"Sweden Yes" is a catchphrase used to mock multiculturalism and gender equality politics, specifically Swedish ones. The catchphrase has also inspired the phrasal template "X Yes," referring to countries with progressive ideals. Sweden Yes was originally popularized on the international board of Krautchan.net in early 2012 and spread to other sites like 4chan and Reddit in the following years.

Origin

The first use of the phrase can be found on the German imageboard Krautchan's international board in mid-January 2012 when a problem with the board software removed users' flags. On January 18th, 2012, a thread asking the users to reply with their country of origin and if they had ever tasted semen was submitted, with the first reply being, "Sweden Yes," as a mockery of Sweden's bad multiculturalist reputation.

Background

Sweden has been known for being positive towards non-European immigration and being the EU member state that accepts the most political refugees. A poll made in January 2015 showed that more than 70 percent of the Swedish population was positive towards non-European immigration, 23 percent of which were very positive towards it.[9]


Percentage of population positive to non-EU mmigration 71-77% 64-70% 57-63% 50-56% 43-49% 36-42% 29-3 5% 15-21% Created with mapchart net

Spread

On November 13th, 2013, the subreddit /r/SwedenYes was created, featuring news related to immigration and gender equality.[8] The earliest archived instance in /pol/ comes from a novelty thread where the Family Guy character Brian Griffin asks for the best country to immigrate to. One of the posts, made on November 29th, 2013, contained the message "Sweden Yes."[3] On the same day on the same board, a thread about the Swedish military contained a post using the catchphrase.[4] The same thread featured various posts also with the catchphrase.

Captain Sweden

Captain Sweden is a series of webcomics featuring an anthropomorphization of Sweden's multiculturalism and progressive thinking named "Captain Sweden," often depicting him having interracial intercourse. The first instance of the comic can be found on a Diary.ru post by user ~dovolen on April 5th, 2007, featuring two immigrants robbing a woman, when Tolerastov, a man dressed as a drag queen, appears and persuades the robbers into having intercourse with him.[5] The first translated version of the comic can be found on Rule34, adding the Swedish flag to Tolerastov and naming him "Captain Sweden," also featuring the catchphrase (examples shown below).[10]

On May 4th, 2013, user Taikuri uploaded another Captain Sweden comic to the Finnish media-sharing website Naamapalmu, depicting Captain Sweden making a snowman more "tolerant."[7] Both comics began being posted on multiculturalist discussions, especially on /pol/.[6]

On March 28th, 2015, animator Alerta Judiada uploaded a YouTube video named "Captain Sweden Saves the Day!," featuring an adaptation of the original comic, garnering over 72,000 views in less than two months. The video has since been removed from the platform and the account terminated.

This counts for all of Europe, mind you. But it pretty much goes like this;

> Terrorists/extremists burn shit.
> small group of islam population.
> "Al Qaeda represents all muslims!"
> Hyppocrites kill their own fellow muslims.
> Normal Muslims flee to safety.
> "Stay of my Euro-lawn filthy immigrants".
> Racism ensues.
> Islam/ethnicities retaliate "not all muslims etc"
> Fucking politics

And suddenly all of Europe is ignited with silly debates I thought we already had decades ago.
Racists, fundamentalists and populist parties take their chance to throw oil on the flamewar.
Fire rises so high rational voices reach over it.

And now we're here.
