As a German this is assumptionist at best and plain ignorance at the worst. I don't even get how something so biased and subjective gets voted so high. He doesn't base it on empirical numbers like the article, no, he has feelings.
- ofrzeta 5y agoHe/she is right, though, polls say.
- nyxaiur 5y agoThe poll you refer to without linking it is from July 2021 and the ONE question asked is if people find it "important" or "not important" and most answered with they don't care. Does don't care imply to you that people are against it? Because you can ask the question in a poll and then come and refer to it as gospel otherwise I don't care.
- ofrzeta 5y agoHow do you know which poll I am referring to? Actually I said "polls" and there have been several polls at least this year. For instance one in May where the majority of people (65%) where against gender-neutral words. Interestingly a poll made by the the same institute (Infratest Dimap) the year before had only 56% against gender-neutral words. So I conclude the opposition is growing.
- nyxaiur 5y agoWell show us the data if you have it. Not doing so just makes you a snake oil salesman.
- ofrzeta 5y agoAnd you are a smartass, that much I can tell from your few comments.
- nyxaiur 5y agoI guess we have an answer to fact based arguments and your cognitive abilities. As soon as someone wants proof the only thing people like you do is lash out. It's incredible.
- ofrzeta 5y agoMy analysis that you are a smartass is totally fact-based. The first thing you wrote was "the poll you refer to without linking" which is quite presumptuous to begin with. Also what proof, what data? The polls are out there so why not check on them? There have been several of them and all of them had a majority against gender-neutral wording. If you wanna doubt this that's borderline conspiracy theory and I suggest you provide some data to refute those polls.
- nyxaiur 5y agoThe only representative one is the one from July 2021 if you have access to anything that helps your argument feel free to enlighten us otherwise just stop pondering.
- ofrzeta 5y agoFrom the original article: Speaking from the city of Mainz, Kleber says: "You get reluctant and rare praise for it, but you get a lot and vehement opposition to it. Surely that's all fantasy and you are right that there's a huge majority that supports gender-neutral wording.
- raxxorrax 5y agoI agree, there is no evidence that these people are intellectual. "assumptionist"... I think that was the term for some catholic order.
