    The French did make a huge thing about changing the way they write in recent years to include multiple genders etc, there was a big fuss about it.

      The French have a body for deciding language so it makes way more sense for them to do something like that. They are fuxking weird about their language.

        That’s right, they’re called 'l’académie française" and every year they update the dictionary with new words, take out old ones etc. The population then promptly ignores all of that and keeps talking however the fuck they want hahaha. But “inclusive writing” was indeed a big topic a few years back from what I gather (I don’t live there full time since a long time).
