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

Its funny having French as your native tongue and having internalised all that. Like obviously a machine is feminine.

It can make for fun play on words, imagery and parallels, but it also sucks ass for neutral or degendered language..

Same with Spanish. Learning Italian was significantly easier than for other people I know for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that the genders are like 95% the same. It helps if you know some Latin, i guess.

Agree on the fuckedness of using neutral or degendered language in romance languages, too.
