It's the ~~cousin of Rumpelstilzchen~~ "gender asterisk" and very popular with the conservatives, I can assure you.

The ability of conservatives everywhere to find something to be offended by truly inspires.

Oh yeah, you have no idea. They're crying out that their free speech is being taken away, because supposedly they're forced to use the Gendersternchen. And they do that, while they are enacting laws to prohibit government institutions (including schools and such) to use gendered language. It is so ridiculously dumb.
