Othello and Desdemona in Venice by Thรฉodore Chassรฉriau (1819-1856)
The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice, often shortened to Othello,[a] is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare around 1603. Set in Venice and Cyprus, the play depicts the Moorish military commander Othello as he is manipulated by his ensign, Iago, into suspecting his wife Desdemona of infidelity. Othello is widely considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works and is usually classified among his major tragedies alongside Macbeth, King Lear, and Hamlet. Unpublished in the author's life, the play survives in one quarto edition from 1622 and in the First Folio.
Othello has been one of Shakespeare's most popular plays, both among playgoers and literary critics, since its first performance, spawning numerous stage, screen, and operatic adaptations. Among actors, the roles of Othello, Iago, Desdemona, and Emilia (Iago's wife) are regarded as highly demanding and desirable. Critical attention has focused on the nature of the play's tragedy, its unusual mechanics, its treatment of race, and on the motivations of Iago and his relationship to Othello. Originally performed by white actors in dark makeup, the role of Othello began to be played by black actors in the 19th century.
Shakespeare's major source for the play was a novella by Cinthio, the plot of which Shakespeare borrowed and reworked substantially. Though not among Shakespeare's longest plays, it contains two of his four longest roles in Othello and Iago.

Why does the site keep briefly turning chinese on me? Like all the autogenerated text like how long a post ago it's been since a post was made will just randomly turn Chinese and then flash back.
"No, its fine, i just didnt expecting hexbear to be chinese"
I've experienced the same thing. Perhaps the default language is Chinese underlyingly, so if there's a gap between the page loading and fetching your device's locale and/or your account's language preferences you might see it briefly. Someone more familiar with the Hexbear codebase can probably give a more precise answer.
That would make sense if it was always Chinese, but I've had other languages
Clearly it's because Hexbear is secretly written in C and using an uninitialized variable for the locale /s
But seriously, now I'm even more intrigued...
i just assumed someone set the default translation strings to chinese as a bit
