It's still dumb. When we're at a point where we have to butcher our language with asterisks and colons to please Karens we've gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed.

Turns out English and Asian languages without gendered pronouns are simply superior

gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed

Are you proposing to get rid of the German language because it is flawed, instead of adapting it? First time i heard that idea
