Want to make a T-Shirt and to know if it's offensive to Brits alike (lemmy.world)

So, I was spacing out while waiting for my next class in college and had this idea and wanted to know what a British person would think of it. I wanted to make a T-Shirt with the outline of the Falkland Islands filled with the Union Jack, and on the top, or top-left corner, a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II smiling from Heaven casting down sunrays on the islands. I'm not trolling, I wanted to make something to piss off Argies and supporters alike.

So, what do you think?

I think you can find better ways to spend your time.

    I don't think it would piss many of us off. It does sound like a Ben Garrison cartoon in the making though

    I don't think that'll piss many Brits off. I imagine a map of the Falklands, coloured in with the Argentinian flag with "Malvinas" above it might only upset the veterans or Islanders.

    Exactly the kind of kitsch fascist Brits love bedecking themselves in and that liberals love laughing at. It would go down a storm with all concerned. No idea what you have against Argentinians, mind.

    The manner in which they constantly insist the islands are rightfully theirs and stamp them on absolutely every official document is downright childish and warrants derision.
