!["Gendered language" - "Germxns" [1080x1080 - 139KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/KIyPW5.jpg){kind=link}
Germxn and Germxny are colonialist words.
It's Deutsch and Deutschland.
Calling the people of Deutschland Germxns, and calling their language Germxn instead of the proper term of Deutsch, is colonialist and is disrespectful towards the native aboriginal people of Deutschland.
Anyone using the words Germxn needs to be imprisoned for colonialist hate speech.
That’s really interesting. I just looked up the history of it. Here’s what I dug up if anyone’s interested: "Germany" came from the Latin "Germania", "Allemagne" from the Alemanni tribe, and "Deutschland" from the old High German word "diutisc" meaning "of the people".
I thought "Germani" meant "Brother." Although the video I watched claimed it was used to distinguish Germanic tribes from Turkic ones.
