    You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

    Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/8043602

    Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.

      Based on your positions so far, it doesn’t seem like your vague “this” is happening at all.

      It isn’t weird that Chinese languages don’t have a word for “yes”, different languages have different rules.

      It’s just as weird and normal that you don’t use gendered nouns while writing English.
