My 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.

The 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.

From 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.

My god what a representative study you pulled out of your hat. A single quote of one journalist about the personal experiences he had in one city. That can't be your extensive studies or is it?

Triggered much? There are safe spaces for such. There all can gather where they belong. To impose your sensibilities on all others is just wrong.

Na it's just way to funny asking them for sources. Are you triggered because he can't bring up any of the studies he has right next to him or do you really want everyone to just believe shit he made up? Do you think facts are sensibilities? Because if you do you are probably the one who needs a safe space when the disk suddenly blows up to sphere.

Sources are overvalued. That aside, are you able to have and articulate your own thoughts? What is it with all this 'he said, she said, there it is written'? Signed?

That's the fanning of fries for brains. Enjoy your bubble.

You are delusional.

I don't care. IMO you are a tribal fashion victim, engaging in cargo cultist rituals, and feeling empowered by them. While that may be funny to watch for some time, stuff like that belongs into theme parks, or similar reservations.

Take care.

If you need help or want to get to a better place regarding your mental health, just pm me. I will try to find you the help you certainly need.

Naa, I'm good.

What are you talking about? What studies? There have been several polls about the topic in question (Infratest Dimap, mdr, ZDF, Forsa ..). You can easily google them. In every single one there was a majority against gender-neutral wording in one way or another. The quote by Claus Kleber confirms this tendency. If you seriously doubt this you are the one who should show some data.

You don't even understand that it's not the "personal experience of one single journalist he had in one city". "Speaking from the city of Mainz" means he is talking from the ZDF headquarters, that's all. Obviously it's the feedback the TV station got from all over Germany.
