  • That’s actually a cool thing. Never knew this existed. My comment was definitely a bit salty looking back. It’s just I didn’t find any humor in the post and found this type of post to appear often. Good to know tho, I’ll look into it since I’m curious what other type of comments they ban. Still bigotry is a weird claim, since they can’t seem to tolerate my opinion. Although that brings up the whole tolerating intolerance topic. I don’t think I was being intolerant personally. I just didn’t find the satire in the meme.

    The gender star is anything but gender neutral. It highlight the different genders artificially and still makes the female variant of the word the second choice by separating it like this /* This differentiates it from the default general masculine word which is supposed to include everybody and further strengthens the image of the man as the default in a certain job. I’m sorry but I strongly disagree with you on this one.

    And for non-Native german speakers, if this sounds confusing that is because it is!


  • I think it just makes the german language ugly and still keeps the female version of a word as a second choice. Grammatically speaking I believe just common masculine version of a word which is supposed to speak for everyone involved just makes more sense. If we want gender equality we shouldn’t highlight the different genders more and make the female version the second choice, but thats just my opinion
