minus-squareFireWire400@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·28 days agoI have never heard any German speaking person use “wiener” to refer to penis ever. Maybe it’s a thing among some people but it’s certainly not common. There’s “weener”, but that’s an American term as far as I know.
minus-squaresquaresinger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·28 days agoSorry, I figured from your post history that you are from an english-speaking country. The term isn’t “weener”, it’s “wiener”: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wiener The point still stands: If you don’t see discrimination against a certain group of people as something bad, using discriminatory terms isn’t a statement but just a thing people do without thinking.
