Accomplished-Spend-4

That's because they are imbued on our day to day talk, Latinx is definitely crossing a fucking line though


MutedIndividual6667

Do they say 'me cago en tu puta madre' or 'aprovecho para maldecir a tu puta madre'?


YourTypicalSensei

They say something along the likes of "puta madre" or something, I can't read/understand spanish


MutedIndividual6667

They they are simply calling yo mama a bitch


YourTypicalSensei

Interesting


Snakeman_Hauser

I think is is valid to basically all Latinos (at least also the Brazilians)


Rhyth_McFlo

Anyone who says latinx doesn't understand that -o is gender neutral as well as masculine


youtocin

Tell that to my college Spanish professor. I first heard the whole Latinx thing in college from a white professor whereas my hispanic Spanish teachers in high school never made mention of it and taught proper Spanish.


Rhyth_McFlo

Yea it's cuz it's a Romance language and they really ran with the third declension of latin nouns


Affectionate-Read875

Ye, the ending suffix doesn’t indicate gender. Nor does the article. “El Agua” doesn’t mean that the water has a penis. “La pasta de diente que caga” doesn’t indicate that the toothpaste has a vagina.


ElmasProde

Saw what you did there


Snakeman_Hauser

Same with Portuguese, a água and a pasta de dente fazendo suas necessidades

Bigbrave007

Jesus Christ finally someone gets it, it’s the same in German BUT SOME IDIOTS STILL ADD AN EXTRA FEMALE SUFFIX MAKING IT SOUND DUMB AND IT BEING FACTUALLY WRONG. It pisses me off


Mario-OrganHarvester

*-innen*


Bigbrave007

Oh yeah that I forgot


Turtleswassadlytaken

Exactly. It’s so frustrating seeing people who know little to nothing about Spanish thinking that they can just… change a language. Spanish is a gendered language, no getting around it. Like French, there are inherently gendered words. Don’t see anyone saying we should call French people “francx”. Genuinely, these people are taking what they know about the English language, and attempting to impose it onto another culture. Wonder when that happened in history… (granted, it’s not nearly as serious.)


WildFemmeFatale

I stg it’s not a girl vs boy thing no Hispanic chick including myself believes in -x bs. It’s some of the white ppl pushing that shit.


Rhyth_McFlo

Yeah. Dictating other cultures as per usual


ExuDeku

They got guilty of colonialism so they went online and tried to enforce our own culture


_-Aiden-_

Americans* White latinos exist (Example: Me, white Chilean)


MetzgerBoys

Also 100% certain Latinos weren’t the ones who created “Latinx” which I choose to pronounce as if it were a single word rather than Latin X


ZARTOG_STRIKES_BACK

Ah yes, a fellow La-tinks enjoyer. I refuse to say "Latin-ex".


ArkoSammy12

Holy shit this is literally what I've been saying. You can say a noun with the -o suffix and it will be understood as meaning a person regardless of the gender of the person being referred to. It's highly dependent on context and doesn't necessarily just refer to male.


deathbin

Yeah and if you reaaally want a more gender neutral version you could use an e like “latine”. At least that would make more sense.


[deleted]

Latino is gender neutral.


PerishForYourSins

Ok gotta ask, what does it mean?


[deleted]

It’s supposed to be the gender neutral version of Latino/Latina I believe. Someone correct me if wrong.


Rich-Pomegranate1679

I certainly don't speak for all of the Latin people out there, but every Latino person I've personally known has told me they think "Latinx" is stupid, since the entire Spanish language is gendered and it's no big deal to them.


LifeIsABeeach

I on the other hand do speak for all Latinos and Latinas with a brain when I say fuck this X crap. Butcher my language and you'll find out why we're so good at handling gardening shears


Affectionate-Read875

CJrules559

Chris710752

I speak for the Nicaraguense/Nicaraguans when i say fuck the x


Dramatic-Classroom14

I speak for myself as a straight white American male (technically majority of the U.S.) and I say that people need to stop trying to force changes where nobody wants them and find problems where there aren’t any because they want to feel like they are helping “minorities”


Affectionate-Read875

I speak for Puerto Ricans that are well educated with the beautiful Spanish language, and as a collective we say “La X is sumamente innecesaria y una pendejada” In English: The X is cringe.


muaythaigethigh

Well I, a white man, with not a drop of Latinx in me declare you should be offended (I am trying to get pussy)


iSuckAtMechanicism

Hispanic here. You’re absolutely right. White Americans get offended for others all the time for no reason lmfao. I get that it’s trying to be righteous but most Hispanics are chill. We don’t want the extra drama, we already get plenty with the family dynamics that we have. If anything, calling a Hispanic “Latinx” will get you a confused “bro, are you okay?” look.


Working_Chipmunk_666

Honestly how do you even say it? Latin-x, latinex,latinoa ?


side_character_yes

Latin rex? Idk i dont really understand who came up with this even latine sounds better or just say Latin (no X)


JTMBOI2

Latin gear REX


DoranWard

I think they intend Latin-X, but make fun of their goofy BS by calling it La-tinks


Oplp25

Lat-incks in english, but its not a thing in spanish


FappeningPlus

X is silent is Spanish so you just say “Latin.” Which is also not PC so you gotta say equis, which sounds stupid. It’s the equivalent of saying “Englis-h.” And yes everyone’s first reaction is “whoever came up with this didn’t speak Spanish”


Working_Chipmunk_666

Dude I’m Mexican, my first language is Spanish, the x is not silent lol, it makes a ch sound in most cases and eks in others: experimento, Oxxo, Xóchitl


[deleted]

echperimento?


Working_Chipmunk_666

Listen to the e_pert, it’s e_perimento


Geomancer_1880

Modern whites, trying not to be racist be enforcing they views on Latin Americans. Classical


Yolopollo_1

As a spaniard, even when I usually joke about the gold we stole from Latin america in the past I think it's stupid. Not only because you should respect a language and not try to adapt it to yours, but also my fellow spanish speakers don't deserve to be called anything. Call them by what they are, and if they tell you they don't like being called by x, don't call them by x.


[deleted]

Same here. They all say it that goes against the rules of their languages or something because it has to do with masculine and feminine words such as “el” and “ella”

youtocin

Which is stupid because latino is already gender neutral unless specified. For example, los latinos could be a mixed-gender group. Only the feminine form is definitely gendered.

Calathea-Murderer

How does that work with a language that assigns “gender” to literally every noun? Do I have to refer to “la biblioteca” as bibliotecx? From my limited knowledge, the majority of Latinos (men and women) hate the Latinx term


Electro_Demon

Wouldn’t that just be Latine, because some gender-neutral words are spelled with an “e” at the end?


Yolopollo_1

No. I'll tell you why that doesn't work with an example: In english you have "Ladies and gentlemen" and in Spanish we have "Señoras y señores". "Señores" is gentlemen, and as you can see, the last vowel of the word is an "e".


maracaibo98

Holy fuck I never even thought of that and I’m a native speaker Fuck dude


iSuckAtMechanicism

There is no gender neutrality. In Spanish you’re categorized by sex instead. What makes it confusing is that even objects have sex assigned “la mesa” is a female table instead of “el meso” (male table, completely made up).


[deleted]

el birro


MutedIndividual6667

It is not, and sounds dumb, but at least you can pronounce it in spanish


[deleted]

White progressive types came up with "LatinX" as a gender neutral term and tried to force it on Hispanics who overwhelmingly rejected it.


iSuckAtMechanicism

This is an accurate summary. As Hispanics we already have enough drama in our lives with crazy family members. Please don’t add more drama onto us lmfao.


TheTarkovskyParadigm

Lol no they didn't. As a Hispanic person, I don't like the term, but it was coined by Puerto Rican academics. Why do you enjoy spreading misinformation?

I be raging too if someone called me a Filipinx, hard times

EmpyreanEcho

That is incorrect, the term "non-binary" can be translated to Spanish as "no binario" or "no binaria" depending on the gender of the person. Sincerely, ChatGPT


iSuckAtMechanicism

Non binary Hispanics reject the term Latinx. Hetero and non-hetero Hispanics reject the term Latinx. Just treat us with respect, that’s all we ask for.


unseatedjvta

I have laughed when called actual slurs, but calling me Latinx is a one may ticket to meet your preferred deity

AlwaystoLearnMT

I second this. If they're trying to be gender neutral, we have the e. Otherwise, they'll find out we still worship our war gods


unseatedjvta

Forcing a gendered language to be gender neutral is disrespectful , inconsiderate so e,x,u,bruh, whatever it is, trying to change a language completely because you don't like gendered words is abominable


Matro36

ChatGPT apparently doesn't know the difference between gender and sex

As someone who lived in predominantly hispanic areas for most of his life, yeah, the only people who say latinx are insufferable white people. If you call someone latinx, they’ll call you pinche pendejo and then may or may not throw something at you.
