You're right but tbh I think it's so silly that using* stars has become the defacto politically correct way to address gendering in the first place. It's such an eyesore

If you use it, I much prefer a :, like Arbeiter:innen.

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

please Karens

what do you mean by that?

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
