The Latino/a thing gets even worse for progressives, as in Spanish when you are referring to a group of men and women, the male form Latino OVERIDES the feminine form (ie if you aren't talking about all women, it will ALWAYS be male (Latinos, chicanos, etc)), which from their perspective is linguistic patriarchy. They HATE Spanish as much as they pretend to love diversity.

[@Ladondorf]

The thing is, there already exists a gender-neutral term to refer to latinos and latinas, it's "latino". Every single noun in Spanish is gendered by default, even if it's an inanimate object. A shoe is "un zapato", a house is "una casa". It's not supposed to be a literal indicator of the thing's gender, it's just a function of the language. And when it _does_ come to people, the default gendering doesn't always favor men. In fact, the word "person" itself is "persona", which is feminine. So the term Latinx isn't just unpronounceable in Spanish, it's born from a total lack of understanding of how Spanish works in the most basic sense, which makes it ironic when its proponents claim they are "educating" others. There's a saying in Spanish, "No le busques las cinco patas al gato". It means "Don't look for five paws on a cat" and it is told to arrogant fools who try to find a hidden meaning in everything. Not everything is secretly problematic, or oppressive, or rooted in some phobia. This is something radicals need to understand.

The most telling thing about people forcing "Latinx" not knowing a lick of Spanish is that not only nouns are gendered, but also articles and adjectives. If I were to say "El latinx está loco" o "La latinx está loca", the statement is gendered anyway, so it doesn't even works for what they intend it to work. It's not possible to make Spanish non-gendered, unless they intend to make some crazyness like "Xl latinx está locx".

Can confirm the conservative Hispanics as a white person. I served a Mormon mission in Southern California and I was too young to be political but kinda liberal leaning. It caught me super off guard to find out directly from Hispanic immigrants that they were pro Trump, but every single one of them explained the same: they don’t speak English well enough to do most jobs so they do basic construction/harvest. They have exactly the same set of skills as illegal immigrants. Not only did they pay for their green cards, they also pay taxes because they’re legal. That means illegal immigrants work under the table for less money and put legal immigrants out of a job while also helping businesses commit tax fraud and wage abuse.

[@calexander7495]

I've said that illegal immigrants screw over legal ones many times, but they never acknowledge it. Everyone who cheats the system is denying an opportunity to someone who followed the rules.

[@calexander7495]

@@caralho5237 I'm not talking about me. There's a queue for getting legally over the boarder, for green cards it's based in part of available jobs. One job filled by an illegal is one legal immigrant that doesn't make the queue. Just because the government screws you that doesn't mean nobody else does. Illegal immigrants depress wages and paying a coyote sends money to the cartels. And I'm not someone who thinks paying no taxes is viable. No taxes is no government. No government is anarchy. Anarchy is a power vacuum that warlords will fill.

That Spanish is a gendered language. Everything from tables to the air we breathe is gendered.

As someone who used to buy and read Miles Morales: Spiderman comics since 2014, I am glad I dropped comics all together in 2016 (i only buy and read manga now) This issue was so upsetting. What made Miles such a cool character was how his series never delved into any identity politics, initially, until Bendis lost his mind and made it woke.

@@woodwyrm As a nerd, I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the damage to the culture from normies... Do you mean the dumbing-down of the Gamer culture, the invasion into Comics/Comic Movies, or the broader "nerd" culture? Because in SOME ways I think it's helped "Nerd Culture" - for example, DnD finally becoming less vilified and more widespread, and things like Warhammer 40k leading to more tabletop gaming. But that may be in part because I come from the "Geek" side of "Nerd Culture", and the impact on OUR side of the culture has been more positive, generally. Though we're losing some of the "deep lore" now that there are more normies. But fortunately, the "Hacker Culture" part of "Geek Culture" is keeping that alive.

In the show "the view", the topic of using Latinx was brought up, with the same study Dev cited here (if I remember correctly), and as we can see, there are more people that hate the term than people that would be ok using it, but one of the hosts (a Latina) still said that she would default to the term Latinx to avoid basically hurting someone. She is focusing so much on the small tiny little fringe fraction of the population that wants to be called Latinx instead of using the gendered term, that she's ok with probably insulting 5 or 6 times more people when doing so.

It's sort of a perspective-based problem, and if you look at it from the wrong perspective, you fail to see the bigger picture. So, I have to admit, that would be my question to her. "So, you're willing to insult the majority of people rather than hurt possibly 2 percent of the people out there who identify as trans or genderfluid or nonbinary? Does that really make sense to you?" And see what she said. Honestly, we've just got to start asking these plain-language questions and see if we can wake people up.

As a quick aside. Womxn or womyn is not only irritating, its based off of linguistic ignorance. Woman isnt man as in males with a wo on the front. Man was gender neutral with werman and wifman as the two genders. From wifman we get the word wife. Wifman became woman over time, werman became man. Wer only seems to have been retained as a prefix in the word werewolf, meaning man wolf or wolf man. It amazes me the degree to which people can care about the power of words and connotations yet display so little curiosity in understanding linguistics and etymology.

"Latinos" besides being a male gendered word , it is also the gender neutral term to describe everybody (todos), like we would say "los perros"(the dogs) or "los gatos"(the cats) all male gendered but also gender neutral, but if you say "las gatas y las perras" you would be refering to an exclusively female group of cats and dogs. Here in latinoamerica we actualy have our own problems regarding those words, given that there are groups of people that don't understand how their own language works. They want to change every word thats male gendered when refering to a gender mixt group changin the "O"' for an "E". For example they want you to say "todes"(not a word, but suposedly the gender neutral term) instead of "todos"("everybody" an already gender neutral term).
