It’s high key illegal to make any kind of nazi joke or gesture in Germany. People can get fired for it and in extreme cases even arrested. On my class trip to Berlin this kid thought it’d be funny to do a Nazi salute in the parking lot where hitler died (was not a destination, just happened to walk by). He was immediately pulled aside by police who legit booked him a flight home for the next day, without the rest of us. He was suspended for two weeks too.
Funny how the country responsible for this takes full responsibility and fights to make it never happen again, while the US, who spent years basing an entire identity on fighting Nazis, gives them a platform to speak freely and draft members.
the misuse of the term manic pixie dream girl troubles me because it went from “a real criticism of how men characterize female love interests that ultimately dehumanizes women” to “any eccentric female character” to “a real life human living woman with a life and a beating heart and a soul who dresses in an alt style and has dyed hair who i want to neg into fucking me via twitter”
fun fact: on the Good Place podcast, Jason Mantzoukas said many of Derek’s lines were written by putting dialogue through google translate several times, which is definitely how they got this sentence.
