I mean with the stupid names, could you not?! carving out interest in this crowded space is a challenge onto itself, you don’t hafta shoot yourself in the foot from the get-go!

that aside, anyone got experience with the thing?

    Again, stupid chauvinist take. Not everyone speaks English and not everyone uses English pronunciations. Also, cwtch is a relatively popular loanword too, plenty of English speakers have learnt to say it.

    You know most of the world finds English spellings hard to pronounce, right? You’re speaking in a language notorious for its inconsistent pronunciations (see “-ough”).

    It’s also particularly fucked up to mock Welsh like that given that Welsh is one of the many languages with a long history of children being violently reprimanded for speaking their native language by English people.

      To piggyback on this and apply chauvinistic reciprocity, why would you spit anything at some you find cute. They probably decided to leave with Cthulhu, who is confidently, unapologetically, Cthulhu.
