Please don't say "latinx", it's an ableist term as many neurodivergent folk can't spell it
Say "latine" instead, it's gender neutral and neuro inclusive, thank you ❤️(Gringo Thread)
>>1234Omg so it's literally just non-phonetic for the sake of being non-phonetic.
Oh shit this could be related to the war on phonics eduction.
>>1223Thing is, people are so brainwashed nowadays by idpol that you gotta at least offer them a less offensive, less-bullshit alternative.
Latine is stupid. But at least you can fucking READ it. "Latinx" by contrast is absolute bullshit cooked up in a lab (probably a meth one) as this guy said
>>1192Latino is the correct gender neutral term in Spanish, but at the very least Latine does not make dyslexics & other people go mad.
>>1253No, because the O is neutral in Spanish. Even the fucking RAE understands this, and it's literally the only thing they get right (otherwise they just enjoy adding literal misspellings to the dictionary).
If you want to say "Todos estamos presentes" ("We are all present") even if you are all female or transgender or whatever, that is grammatically correct.
But most people even myself will accept the E. The X will just make whoever uses it look like an idiot.
>>1254uhm nao, o "O" no espanhol é masculino e neutro ao mesmo tempo, que nem no portugues, nao é completamente neutro.
it is both masculine and neutral at the same time, not just neutral.
>>1191gender neutral words and pronouns are working class struggles
SAY IT
>>1300"yo soy latin"
"eu sou latin"
funciona
works
>>1252Your seething is irrelevant and autistic. The 'x' is used and you can seethe your prescriptionist bullshit as much as you want. It doesn't change the fact.
>>1287Gender neutral Spanish has been used since before "LE WOKE MOB WAS RUINING TRVE SPANISH".
Even the most reactionary idpol obsessed misogynist would not bat an eye at " latin@" which is the historic gender neutral way of writing "latino and/or latina". Change the "at sign @" for an "x" and culture warriors, even self proclaimed socialist culture warriors lose their shit. It would be hilarious if it weren't tragic.
And to be honest, the reason I hate the self-proclaimed socialist culture warriors who seethe and churn when an "x" is used instead of an "@", or when the "e" is used and pronounced, is because I was also once a socialist culture warrior back in 2015-16 when idpol was at its highest. It's so easy to get lost in the sauce with culture wars.
>>1191i'm mexican and i like using latinx because it makes chicanos and right wing americans mad.
i think the arguments against are also dumb af
>omg you can't read it read the word x-rays
>omg it makes no sense in spanish we're speaking english
>>1504the only way for a word to be gender inclusive is to not include any gender at all, such as in
>>1464 >>1325words shouldn't have genders.
>>1360>Your seething is irrelevant and autistic.Who's seething? You?
>The 'x' is used and you can seethe your prescriptionist bullshit as much as you want. It doesn't change the fact. The X is only used by idpolers. Regular people on the street, (most of the ) workplace, country, city, wherever do not really use it. It's simply not as easy to read or make sense of, simply as that.
>Even the most reactionary idpol obsessed misogynist would not bat an eye at " latin@"Because "Latino@" was an old early Internet way of trying to be inclusive and type less, like saying "Latinos y Latinas" by compressing it into a single word.
>>1191>many neurodivergent folk can't spell itas a babbling retard i and 90% of the neurodivergent people i know (INCLUDING THOSE WITH DYSLEXIA) can spell latinx wtf r u on
i agree with the sentiment since the e makes more sense linguistically but the reasoning is fucking dumb
