I don’t like the stereotype (and it is just a stereotype) of German being a ‘screamy’ language. As a Dutchman who also speaks German, it’s a perfectly pleasant language to me in 99% of the cases (but then I think it’s beautiful anyway, hence why I learnt it). There’s nothing inherently ‘screamy’ about German.
Though I have to admit that when I do hear it being screamed in, it immediately triggers associations with that period in history like I was there myself. I blame movies.
I blame what have done Germany 80 years ago in Europe as the main reason, we are barely getting out of the phase were all people that lives through these times are dead but it is still rembered.
You sound just like people from the UK who talk about not liking the word fookin’ used in jokes because they don’t talk like that.

Yeah it’s exactly that: Stereotype and being used to a certain melody in a language. For me (German) Arabic often sounds aggressive for some reason… Farsi and Dari sound pleasent though. I don’t understand neither of them…
Even in Germany we consider some other dialects rude or aggressive sounding. For a lot of people Berlin’s dialect sounds rude or some people from the north have the same feeling with some dialects from the sound. (For me it’s the dialects spoken in the Black Forest).
Language is weird.
Honestly Saxonian ist the worst. I automatically assume I am talking to a Nazi and brace myself. The fact that that I am right in about 1 of 2 cases doesn’t really help either
Kinda unfortunate because if Americans understood the Hitler speeches they’d know he’s a whiney bitch who sounds just as stupid as Trump with just as much of a victim complex.

English insults are like “How’s your day, love?” and the other lad is positively miffed on account of how you pronounced it.
Die in hell. points at shoes
I’m German, but I have to hand it to them: The Dutch have by far the best insults of any language.
When the Dutch start cussing:
My mother tongue is Afrikaans, I thought our insults were intense. Until I moved to the Netherlands, damn chill.
UND KEINE EIER!

It took me a while to realize that my mom (Korean, from Busan area) was on the phone having a conversation and not a heated argument. Literally sounded like screaming at times.
Korean either sounds whiny or argumentative
They say that about North Mexico.
East Asian languages in general (excluding Japanese). My first thought seeing this meme was “this MF never heard Cantonese before?”
