    On one hand, I agree with you

    On the other hand, Jesus Christ didn’t the Middle English fad die out in like, 2013 Reddit?

      And you should be glad it did. Germans didnt get so lucky.

      r/ich_iel and [email protected] STILL think it’s funny not to use english words and instead translate them literally so it sounds like complete nonsense. (“Zangendeutsch”) This joke got old like 10 years ago but if you use even a single english word you will still be greeted with “Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn” which means speak German you son of a bitch.

      I just want good memes in my own language, but that community is insufferable.

      /rant, sorry

        To be fair, although Zangendeutsch is commonly used for shits and giggles the reaction to English words hasn’t been this way since some time after Reddit.

        It evolved into an ironic [email protected] style complete-the-sentence thingy where everything goes.
