I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth
It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh
I've never actually done a shoey
To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.
I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn't have anything to do with the issues you listed.
