German Gendered Language Argument

Do not speak Germxn here. As long as you only speak English, you're alright. It's not an attack, it's a logical statement based on a single accusation. Why the hell did you censor the word German? Because of gendered language And I suggest you censor it too Ah, yes, because Gerwoman is a word Or Gerperson Stop now You are literally saying that German, a word referring to a language, is a gendered word. Stop using gendered language. Is it really so difficult to use germxn and make people feel more secure and safe?

A Discord-style conversation shows users arguing over whether the word “German” is gendered, with one person proposing absurd replacements like “Gerwoman,” “Gerperson,” and “germxn.” The joke mocks the overextension of inclusive-language rules and the confusion between a language name and a gendered term.
