  • There is no good way to use gender neutral language in German. The language works differently than English.

    So people came up with workarounds like putting stars in nouns to include both forms of the word for male and female but German grammar does not work well with this. There is also no good equivalent to using “they” as a neutral pronoun.

    People still are trying to figure out how to make German more inclusive but this isn’t easy.

    Don’t be ignorant.











  • Your post is an “uh, actually” version of what I said. You are not disagreeing with me but still somehow making it sound like you do.

    I meant the term meme never applied to only sharing “image macros” but to inside jokes, coming shared references, common cultural knowledge. It is an absolutely fascinating term and concept if used like that, and I wish more people would understand it and use it in the same way.
