Hot take - instead of saying Irish names aren't said how they're spelt, lets fucking learn that thats because they aren't fucking English. If i see one more person complaining that Saoirse is Shersha and not said how its spelt, i will personally call my da to fight all of you. It is time we have respect for activly dying languages- sincerely, someone whose grandfather didn't get to learn his families language because of cultural genocide.

#And Dont Get Me Started On The Fucking “Potato Famine”#that bitch was genocide #you will never convince me otherwise #and these complaints about irish names instead of learning them is giving “i actually dont give a shit about cultures other than my own.”#i also am very sleep deprived and that may be where this anger is coming from #but also when i was a little kid #i would hear my Da lamenting about how he and his siblings were never fluent in irish when they were literally from northern Ireland #but he knew enough to teach me somewhat how to figure out the names #and thats important to me. yes im bading a character off of him.
