dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Nothing is worse than Das Mädchen

Girls are agender says the nazis

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's because it ends on "-chen". It's a suffix to basically cutiefy whatever comes in front of it and makes every word agender. So like "Der Hund" (the dog) becomes "Das Hündchen" (the doggy). "Mädchen" originally comes from the word "Die Maid", which means young woman but is never used in modern German. So "Mädchen" is basically "girlie", not "girl". Don't ask me why this happened germany-cool

I know the "explanation", and it's still extremely stupid and not a valid excuse

I personally hate Die/Der See
