The Welsh language, like all Celtic languages, has a very recent history of violent marginalisation by anglophones and quite frankly you know what by also being anglos you are proactive participants in it when you contribute to a culture of denigrating and mocking it

It’s not like there’s any shortage of totally Anglo place names over there to poke fun at. There’s no reason to punch down.

I'm just hoping we can start being normal about the Dutch language.

Dutch is important if you’re an English speaker who winds up with multilingual instructions that don’t include English. If you read the Dutch ones aloud slowly and phonetically, you’ll probably pick up the gist!

Star Wars quite lazily borrowed/stole names and terms out of a bunch of different languages, including Welsh, as Hollywood often does. That's one of the reasons people from small and marginalized cultures get accused of having Star Wars names.

It's also never a fucking original joke, either. If it were it might actually be funny, but nope, has to be something that's been done twenty thousand times before.
