When I stop to think about it it’s actually very bizarre that the burning of gävlebocken has become such a big meme on tumblr.
It’s the only form of arson where, pretty much, every Swede is against punishing the people who manage to pull it off, which in itself is kinda odd.
But it’s even odder that it has gotten such spread outside of Sweden these past years and pretty much everyone is still like “yeah, they SHOULD get to burn that fucking thing down! It’s made of straw! It’s asking for it!”
