 [08:30]  FIRE FIRE FIRE. [08:46]  Oh great it's Black Friday. [08:46]  Has someone died yet? [08:47]  statistically yes [08:47]  people die all the time [08:47]  ...has someone died from Black Friday shopping?  [08:50]  ...possibly [08:55]  Oh, Fire. [08:56]  FIRE. [08:56]  hi [08:57]  http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42073148 [08:57]  Thoughts? [09:00]  would make learning french easier [09:02]  Well I showed it to a girl who's been learning some French and she found it totally ridiculous. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:02] <Alemas2005> [09:06] <We Are Fire> &gt;The Académie française - which, contrary to legend, not every French person regards as the final arbiter in those things - pronounced that inclusive writing constituted a "mortal danger" for the language. [09:06] <We Are Fire> lol [09:06] <We Are Fire> oh my god it's going to destroy french itself [09:06] <We Are Fire> [09:07] <Alemas2005> ...well it is, isn't it. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:07] <Alemas2005> I mean, imagine German, Italian, Spanish... [09:08] <Alemas2005> ...any other gender-based language... [09:08] <We Are Fire> ...how? [09:08] <Alemas2005> Oh God are you seriously for this?! <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:08] <We Are Fire> no [09:08] <Alemas2005> At least you have some reason... <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:08] <We Are Fire> but saying it's going to destroy the entire language is ridiculous and sensationlist [09:09] <Alemas2005> Well you know the French, they like to exaggerate things. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:09] <We Are Fire> that is true [09:09] <We Are Fire> but my view is: i probably dont know enough about french to make a proper judgment [09:09] <We Are Fire> messing with grammar for inclusivity is awkward [09:10] <Alemas2005> You don't speak a gender-based language. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:10] <We Are Fire> yeah [09:10] <Alemas2005> I speak two of 'em. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:10] <We Are Fire> yeah [09:11] <Alemas2005> Aaaaaaaaaaaand... yes, it would be so awkward there'd likely be mass protests against it. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:11] <Alemas2005> Well, in Germany. [09:11] <Alemas2005> In Italy they don't care. [09:11] <We Are Fire> well [09:11] <We Are Fire> thats the thing about language [09:11] <Alemas2005> Mostly because anti-sexism drives don't reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally exist.

[09:12] <Alemas2005> Germany has it as well. [09:13] <We Are Fire> see [09:13] <We Are Fire> ridiculous [09:13] <Alemas2005> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_German_Orthography [09:14] <Alemas2005> It's not as ridiculous as you think, schools strictly adhere to what they say. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:14] <We Are Fire> but thats so boooring [09:16] <Alemas2005> Hey, socialism has tons of rules and regulations as well, far far more than capitalist hell, and I don't see you complaining about it... <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:16] <We Are Fire> oh god [09:16] <We Are Fire> you dont know what kind of socialist i am [09:17] <We Are Fire> in any case i dont think language has much to do with economic systems [09:18] <Alemas2005> *Laughs in English* [09:19] <We Are Fire> *laughs in collectivist* [09:19] <Alemas2005> http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-42080978 [09:20] <Alemas2005> Will be one of the weirdest mash-ups ever. [09:20] <Alemas2005> Animation, 70s Tom Baker, 2017 Tom Baker. [09:20] <We Are Fire> wow [09:20] <We Are Fire> &gt;He and is seen by fans of the show as one of the best actors in the role. [09:21] <We Are Fire> i feel like they wrote that wrong [09:21] <We Are Fire> &gt;He last appeared on screen as the Doctor in a 1993 Children in Need special. [09:21] <We Are Fire> implying the curator isnt the doctor [09:23] <Alemas2005> He's been doing audio stories for ages... [09:23] <Alemas2005> As the Doctor. [09:23] <Alemas2005> Technically they're canon, but audio series aren't my thing. <img width="19" height="19" title=":P" alt=":P" src="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/legomessageboards/images/4/47/Tongue_Smiley.gif/revision/latest"> [09:24] <We Are Fire> on screen tho [09:25] <Alemas2005> "Part of YouTube's system for reporting sexualised comments left on children's videos has not been functioning correctly for more than a year, say volunteer moderators." [09:25] <Alemas2005> Why am I not surprised... [09:26] <We Are Fire> shocking turly [09:26] <We Are Fire> truly [09:26] <Alemas2005> SWEET JESUS. [09:26] <Alemas2005> I just realised. [09:26] <Alemas2005> I thought with "children's videos" they meant stuff like cartoons. [09:26] <We Are Fire> nope [09:27] <Alemas2005> I looked at some "example comments" in the article. [09:27] <Alemas2005> NOPE, they're videos OF children... [09:27] <BraveNewRoyalty> lol ale [09:27] <BraveNewRoyalty> thats been going on for years [09:27] <BraveNewRoyalty> creepers gonna creep [09:27] <Alemas2005> Oh wait, Brave.
