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

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

Hey everyone,

 

It seems that this idea ended up in the wrong board accidentally, so we're bringing it back.

 

We're keeping the previous Case Closed status, as we don't have any immediate plans to implement this. As soon as we have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here.

 

Take care.

Dear team,

I am annoyed from the gendered version and it makes me feel incomfortable.

I suggest to publish a german language versuon without gender stars and so on and allow a traditional version.

There is a large community that does not support gender language and feel it very annoying. I also think that gender language is destroying the clear structure of the german language and I feel it difficult to read. Furthermore, I get a bad mood when reading gender language and sometimes I was thinking to cancel my subscription therefore (what I did with other media for that reason). However, the advantages of Spotify predominate the disadvantages of gender language.

 

I suggest to support two versions (gender and non gender version of german version). Probably also to prevent a loss of subscribers?

Best regards,

Lars.

you use the * gender symbol in German language which is extremely annoying and a vast majority of citizen do not prefer this method. Also, it is not barrier-free to read, so not inclusive at all. Please change it back to official German language. I switched even to English version to not have to read it.

In der deutschen Sprachversion der App sollte es die Option geben die Gendersprache auszuschalten

Bitte unterlassen Sie das gendern auf der deutschsprachigen Seite. Man kann fast nicht mehr verstehen, was Sie dort schreiben vor lauter Sternchen und Formen. Deutsch nach Duden sollte ausreichend sein.Wenn Sprache nicht mehr verstanden wird, wird es problematisch. Sie können ja über einen Button 2 Versionen der Seite anbieten. Nach Duden und gegendert zum Beispiel (Bitte nicht mit "einfacher Sprache" vermischen, das hat damit nichts zu tun.)
