[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

Are you serious Spotify, you ignore your paying German subscribers who only want a grammatically correct spelling in the software?
The number of votes and comments speak for themselves!!!
A satisfactory solution would be to introduce an exclusionary language optional or delete this kind of nonsense.

(gender language with stars is exclusionary and not inclusive!) Please inform yourself about this, the star divides and includes no one!

People with reading disabilities or blind people have a very hard time with it!
The more inclusive the language should be, the more exclusive it becomes!

Normal German is already inclusive by a generic spelling (you may not know)...

Spotify hat der Post geschlossen. They closed it because they have agenda

It would actually already help to have the option to switch at least to English within the app. At the moment the only way is to change the language in Android which is a litte too much for just one App.

The crazy thing is next to all the stuff already mentioned: in case of bands it doesn't even make sense in a grammatically way. A group can not be "Künster*in" in singular. This is just false German. It must be at least plural. Just "Künstler" circumvents the problem as it is singular and plural at the same time (you can't tell without the article). Well, but even "Künstler*innen" sounds just so stupid as a band as a group of musicians is typically without gender. Please Spotify, don't spoil our youth with this nonsense German.
