[All Platforms][Other] Please make genderstar in german language optional

[tomjoe-ler]

Hello Team,

as i wrote in the subject, i would like to request you to create a second kind of german language setting, one "traditional german" option and one "gender sensitve" option for those who like this more than the traditional german.

For me i have to say that the gender sensitive variant of the german language is really hard to read and gives with every star within the words an opstacle.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Thomas

Diese Option wirst du in diesem Laden nicht mehr erhalten. Die sind so ideologisch verstrahlt, daß denen die Nutzer, die noch Wert auf korrektes Deutsch legen, völlig egal sind. Änderung ist nur möglich durch den Wechsel zu einem anderen Anbieter, wie ich es schon längst gemacht haben. Sollen sie mit ihrem Sch.. untergehen, mir egal

Nachdem ich feststellen musste, das Spotify die Wünsche der deutschsprachigen User bzgl. der Wahlfreiheit  der Sprachwahl ignoriert, habe ich meine Konsequenzen daraus gezogen und nach fast 10 Jahren mein Abo beendet.

Inzwischen streame ich Musik in CD-Qualität bei einem Mitbewerber der in seiner App-Oberfläche nicht diesen gruseligen Genderquatsch macht.

Gleicher Preis, bessere Qualität und nach ein paar Wochen intensiver Nutzung passen auch die persönlichen Mixe 🙂

Also Spotify hat mich auf Grund seiner Ignoranz selbst englischsprachige Begriffe zu gendern, dauerhaft als User verloren!

Albeit Spotify already told the community of 700+ people to basically f*ck off, here's what I'd like to have:

- make proper language without wrong Asterisk or the use of the seemingly more broad Gender-approach to use words like "Studierende" instead of "Studenten" and make it the default language for german

- add a Button that will allow users to enable Gender-Sprech if they like to have it

- make measurements that will check how many people are opting in to have the grammatically wrong form of German as their default German and based on these metrics, decide which form should be the default but leave the button to switch to the respectively other version so that people can enjoy the app exactly how they like to do.

Dismissing this idea will not just cause (some) cancellations, it will also bring a real alternative to use. Right now, I have switched to english, but I am not paying for this service in order not to see it in my mother language. I want proper German, not Gender-Ideology stuff.

There even have been proper surveys: The Allensbach institute found, the majority of Germans (71%) aren't using Gender*Deutsch and don't think it's important to use it. Even a majoirity of young Germans don't want to use it (65%).

Make Gender*Deutsch optional or roll it finally back!

Why is this still closed, it has so many upvotes? Most Germans hate this gender nonsense, no matter if male/female or young/old. And it is not correct grammatically. Why the indoctrination? Remove it, the majority does not want it.

Hi Xiers,

a lot of german user ask you to change or remove die faulty german translation. You really know, that more than 86% of german citizen don't want this dictated language. 

Anyway, even if you are not interested in your customer - I have to point out serious mistakes within the non-existent language (see image):

1 and 2:

Incorrect - Freund*innen-feed

Correct Freundin*innenX Feed
Freundin:innen is a new style of WDR and Feed is not German.

3:
Incorrect - Follower*innen
Correct - they/them Follower 

Here also ... mixed EN with DE is nearly a crime

4.  If you want to address all genders, please address the person as well. When writing letters, the address is capitalized. That's respectful.

Please get professionals to translate and not unskilled temporary workers.

Just to be clear, I don’t want indoctrination, so I’m closing my premium account until you switch back to standard German language.

Sad to see that Spotify don’t take care of their  customers. 86% of Germans are against gendering.

Yes. I think users can expect to have the chance to choose between "German (traditional)" and "German (gender)". In my opinion it is simply discriminatory and pretentious to make this decision for mature users.

[Slytzel]

There is a proclamation of over 300 language experts, including some of the leading ones regarding the German language, where they are speaking out against the so called "genderneutral speach".

Also there is a new survey by civey that shows the rising opposition against this form of writing and speaking.

Make it optional!

I had to change my whole android to English to avoid seeing this stupid (wrong) German.
