I’m hella gay in German. Like no shit, Berlin twink in a piss club gay. Totally down for it, it’s crazy how a new language is helping me reject all the “you have to be straight” nonsense my Anglo brain has.

    the language i was raised with is hella (like direct to the point fuck you so hard it even sounds unpleasant) blunt. meanwhile when i learned english i found a whole new world of word fuckery you can accomplish. there's like a million little tiny words you can put into a sentence to make it seem less direct or more direct or shy or emotional or...

    what i'm saying is that i could always be more emotional in my english writing/talking online that i could ever be as a finnish male while talking/writing to someone. something something :trans-egg: something something :trans-specter:

      That’s interesting, maybe it’s leftist Anglo insecurity, but I never would have thought English could be nuanced and good like that.

      a whole new world of word fuckery you can accomplish

      What an absolutely based sentence. Word fuckery is a new goal of mine in my quest to become a writer.

      I’m glad that it sounds like learning a language helped you. Finland is so often propped up by Reddit brain (DAE enjoy Personal space on the train where people maximize not interacting) that I I ever considered this could have impact on how people relate to one another on an emotional level.

      :meow-bounce: glad you found some use out of this bog demon tongue though /s
