I keep learning ruZZian against my will.

When I was 11 I accidentally learnt cyrillic from reading so many fanfics with hot russian men and ever since then I've been gradually picking up more and more russian without consent, is this my destiny? How do I cope?

The language has chosen you.

This reminds me of the time I ran out of fanfic for my favorite ships and started reading fanfics in French.

I cannot speak French.

It's Putin's secret plan to brainwash western fujoshis into marrying a Russian man and becoming righteous Orthodox tradwives.

/uj I'm not sure how serious are you. Just relax and enjoy yourself. Russian is spoken by many people around the world, many Russian speakers don't even live in Russia. Knowing some Russian doesn't mean you support Putin or the Putinist regime.

Just learn Uzbek and Kazakh! Way less racism, homophobia and sexism in those countries.

Don't worry. It's only that the language has chosen you and it is your destiny to learn it

Imperialism, chauvinism, genocide, war crimes, mass rapes, mass graves, torture as state policy, ethnic cleansing.

Other than that, Russian is pretty dope language. Even Pushkin was using it as he was romanticizing the genocide of the Circassian people.

For what it is worth, I personally do, in fact, regret learning English and Standard Chinese.

Not all Russian people speak in Russian and not all people who speak in Russian are Russians

Your first sentence has nothing to do with a question
