n0null: polynumerous: n0null: aazure: mocca-latte-in-my-veins: cynicalsleeper: this is the best thing that appeared on my dash today can’t…stop…laughing… this is my favourite post in the world First of all, I’ve grown to hate the whole angry german stereotype. I want you to listen to someone speak actual german because it’s absolutely gorgeous. Second of all, they didnt even use the right word for pen! It’s der Kuli… as for the other words, I’m five hundred percent sure most are nof correct. What I do know is that the german word for ambulence which the original creator found sounds more silly than serious and angry… Well that’s just, like, your opinion man. =) One thing is cynical sleeper deleted my original text: “I know you’re nice German, you just sound mad to someone like me ignorant to your ways.” I’ve heard real Germans in the flesh and yeah it can be sweet and seductive, but sometimes it just sounds angry to me. Further I don’t make any claims to the veracity of these translations, it’s really more of a metaphor for the stereotype. Like the phrase, “like a frog on a hot plate,” which doesn’t reflect reality but is a vehicle for a particular idea. That’s the way I thought about these ragecomics. Also, another disclaimer, I’m not the artist, just a fan. ;) Oh dude that’s kinda rude of cynical sleeper to have taken away your coment. I guess I would have felt less offended if that comment was there rather than just a bunch of people going “lol!!!!” I just get a but irritated with stereotypes because of how rude and obnxious people can be about them. Like yeah sometimes stereotypes are funny but I get a bit offended when people are disgustingly ignorant about them. And I mean I respect you a lot, it was super cool of you to explain everything to me. Not a lot of people do that so thank you. I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone. Most of the negative reaction has focused on the common word for pen being kuli, so just the usual internet arguing, easy to ignore. I saw your comment was different, however, and I didn’t want the misunderstanding to linger. Also I was lucky even to see your comment! It’s been so widely shared that I can’t possibly see all the comments on it. But that’s tumblr for ya I guess! =) -- source link
