nostalgia for an America gone by

I've seen cis latine people and even binary trans latine people complain about it, and latine as well, personally. Navigating the discourse about it is kinda hell lol.

I definitely have, but it's the same sort of person who complains about singular they.

I've never heard a white person pronounce it correctly either.

Come to my country and you'll see people get knocked out over using it

ive heard people call latinx ugly and prefer latine or latinu. latinu is more common in brazil, latine (-e) is considered standard by the governments of cuba and argentina

(Also, what's the Hexbear party line on latinx?)

AFAIK it's something like "the term itself is a bit niche, latine is maybe more common as a gender neutral term, but anyone making a fuss about it is a chud."

Did this person hear about how terfs refuse to be called cis women and get the entire idea backwards?

"i can't even deal with these transjenders! they all want me to [made up rule that no trans person ever asked them to do]!"

The victim complex of these people is staggering. like just make 1 trans friend. or even an acquaintance. shit is honestly not complicated at all.

Fuck, there used to be a comrade from the old sub on r/destiny2's mod team who'd deal with stuff like this, but looks like he's gone now.

I'd be down for some jolts for "agenda" too.

Elsewhere in this thread this was said.

I've met some leftists latine people with different takes, including "linguistic gender is different and latino is already inclusive" but I've seen enough nonbinary latine people say otherwise to not take that seriously (plus it was on a server dominanted by people with really bad takes like xenogenders bad and kink at pride bad. Predominantly ML server as well its a weird culture.)

i'm not a spanish speaker, so what i have to say doesn't rly matter, but i've yet to see it championed by a predominantly spanish-speaking organization or activist.

in general i think generating new linguistic signifiers for having the right politics is easily confused with having the right politics, which is easily confused with actually doing politics.

latine (and just -e in general) is standard in cuba and argentina, and is referenced on gov documents

"killingjoke96" lmfao

I thought that line was pretty good when I heard it in Cyberpunk, but I underestimated how unbelievably dense gamers are. These people really played through that entire game and went away thinking "this is just like pronouns".

As somebody who enjoys a whole lot of dumb guy games, my experience is that looter shooters often attract edgelords and people who overly serious about themselves and the video games they play. It's a pain in the ass demographic, but I think there's still a worse contingent in Old School Runescape. IMO, it's without question the most forwardly nazi/neckbeard audience of any mainstream game. I mean like "if you go to any popular training spot and play for an hour, you'll see at least one conversation about whether women are getting too uppity or if (((they))) are human" level awful. They have a yearly pride parade in-game run by the devs and every year and the hate was so bad they have to explicitly say in the newspost for it that crashing it will get you banned, no warnings.

Actual moment of "JUST LIKE THE CYBERPUNKERINOS" treatbraining.

"Um, actually, that's not gramatically correct!" No shit? You mean that people trying to reform a language aren't sticking to the current language standards? Incredible.

Yeah, I was going to ask is there genuinely a more preferred term that non-binary people like to use, or is this more akin to people throwing a tantrum similar to "You can't use they as a singular pronoun!! You want me to refer to you as multiple people?!?!?"
