Talk:Sinclair

Sorry, I'm not used to wiki.gg and didn't see there was this discussion page.

There is a known connection between the language in associations' names and sinner numbers which has been consistent for every single association we've known so far (Ex: Sinner #1, Yi Sang - Korean - Hana, which is 1 in Korean)

Considering that, as Öufi, the 11th Association (as Sinclair is Sinner #11) is not the most common German word for 11, but is instead, a really specific term, used only in the variety of German spoken in Switzerland and that Herman Hesse, Demian's author is German-Swiss, I'm led to believe Project Moon is intentionally tending for Hesse's Swiss side for what would be Sinclair's nationality.

Also, considering user YouthOfPanda's revertion of my edit, I'd like to make the reminder that Germany is one of Switzerland's official language, actually being the most spoken out of all of them.

Hi! We have discussed this at length before and there is a history of admins and long time editors correcting the page back to German. There's a number of reasons for this including that Demian was written in German, published first in Germany, Hesse was born with German citizenship and only gained Swiss citizenship later in life (in 1923, four years after the publication of Demian) (this is not me dismissing his Swiss citizenship, which I know he felt more connected to than his German citizenship, but rather related to my next point), Demian as are several of his other novels are based on his childhood living in Germany and are set in Germany. Calw, the town Limbus Sinclair lives in, is named after the real life town of Calw, which Hesse was born in, which is in Germany. Due to all of this, Sinclair's listed nationality on the wiki will remain German as those are all much stronger connections than the Öufi association in the editing team's opinion.

Okay, but I'd also like to point out that Sinclair's associated food at the pop-up cafe was Rösti, which are a Swiss thing, not German. On top of which if Sinclair is Swiss and Gregor is Czech (as i argued he should be on *his* discussion page) that would mean each of the twelve sinners is from a different country, which i think makes more sense than there being three Germans and nobody else from the same nation as any of their peers.
