@tindall toki pona is just such a ridiculously queer language
which is quite impressive considering jan Sonja is, to my knowledge, cishet

@Yuvalne Turns out if you focus on simplicity and cut off all the unnecessary fluff all the bad parts of culture go first, who would've thought. :p @tindall@cybre.space

@timorl I'm not so sure. Toki Pona relies a lot on associations, so I'd be surprised if it didn't rely on speakers' stereotypes of various kinds. I've grepped through the dictionary to see if there's an obvious example of that and the one thing I saw that kinda matched this pattern (and IMO definitely is a bad part of culture) was that "listen" and "obey" are the same word. @Yuvalne @tindall@cybre.space

@robryk Good point and very good example! @Yuvalne @tindall@cybre.space
