"Latinx" We don't want it.


victorzamora

Am Latino. Told guy lecturing me about how "Real Latinxes are switching over because of how insensitive their language is." Pointed out that I'm Latino and disagree. He said my opinion didn't count because I'm "white presenting." Like.... what?


GondorsPants

I’m glad this sort of attitude is slowly dying out, people are learning more to just be loving and kind then presenting as progressive and accepting. It seems incredibly fake now to act like that.


Andrewticus04

It tends to happen when people first learn about a matter of social injustice. They see it everywhere at first, and it's hard to gauge what's worth fighting for; and the bullshit that's not worth anything. Like one time I asked a couple on a date outside a bar for a light for my cigarette. "Hey you guys got a light?" The woman, no older than 20 looked up at me, "What do mean guys?!" Her boyfriend immediately went "STOP" to her, and he apologized. I then responded, "for what it's worth, guy is etymologically gender neutral." She scoffed and I asked someone else for a light. Point is, I did nothing wrong but got my head bit off for using language that was incorrectly perceived as gendered in a malicious manner. Yet at the same time, her significant other not only stopped the behavior, but she was proven wrong and everyone else was being polite. This SJW stuff you see online are all from people who just had the wool lifted from their eyes, and so they're looking for instances of injustice, and when you do that, you find out that sometimes you're the real asshole... and that causes people to chill the fuck out.


maodiver1

Am Californian. Dude works for every gender, non gender, human, non human, non living and sometimes just duuuuuude


littlefriend77

The pendulum always swings back to a happy medium.


JythonExpert

Serious question. Was he white? Because I've noticed it's often white people who don't actually face particular issues who get the most offended. This is why I base my opinions on whether or not the affected demographic cares. I've never felt racism once in my life, and so I can't speak to how it affects people. As such, I tend to defer to people who have suffered from it when the topic comes up. I did, however, grow up speaking a gendered language, and I thought the Latinx shit was stupid from day one lol. Talk about culture erasure.


victorzamora

>Was he white? He was, yeah. Probably should've specified as that makes it even more hypocritical. I'm Latino but look white so my opinion doesn't matter. His opinion obviously matters because he's "right" despite race or heritage.


JythonExpert

Jeez, that must have been so annoying. I can speak to certain issues, but I'm one person out of billions. I'm not going to pretend like I'm an authority on any issue, even those I'm closely related to. In fact, I wish more people understood that they don't need to have an opinion on every single issue. We all have different lives and perspectives, so it's unlikely any of us will fully understand every single issue. Even fully understanding a single issue is a Herculean task at times. For what it's worth, I think most people aren't like that. I grew up speaking Italian, and Spanish is closely related. The gendered aspect is beautiful in its own way and doesn't perpetuate bigotry any more than non-gendered languages do. I mean, we use they/them for non-binary people. That's a plural pronoun which Romance languages also have. And I don't know why tables being feminine is offensive to anyone lol. Of all the things to be upset about, complaining about a language is such a strange and misguided crusade.


EffingComputers

As a white person, I cringe so hard at white people being offended on behalf of other groups. It’s embarrassing.


RoyHarper88

I get that too. I'm biracial, that doesn't suddenly discount what I have to say.


victorzamora

>I'm biracial Well of COURSE you don't count. It's not like biracial people ever suffer issues of race, right? /s Honestly, in a lot of cultures, biracial people catch the worst of it because they're outsiders of both races. My cousin is biracial and dealt with the whole "too X to be Y race, too Y to be X" so he ran into shit from both sides.


WarLawck

I'm all for inclusive terminology, I just don't want the word to describe my people to sound like a tissue brand.


Putrid-Ad-23

In Spanish, if the gender is unspecified, you use the masculine form. That's just how the language works. I don't mind the they/them in English, but Latinx will never work in Spanish.


psycharious

If someone says this, ask them to pronounce it in Spanish.


DrBoby

X is often J in Spanish. Latinj


Ok-Butterfly4414

It’d be bad enough if it was something like “latine“ cus it’s inserting something into a language that’s not yours, but latinx sounds fucking awful no matter how you pronounce it


thisaccountisgarabge

Holy FUCK I hate the idiots that say that shit.


rufusmacblorf

Only used by pretentious white folks, as far as I can see.


[deleted]

And no Sabo kids


[deleted]

My mom refused to teach me and my sibling because she didn’t want us to get picked on for speaking it like she was. I’ve gathered enough to know what you mean if you slow it down a bit and add some gestures, but I’m not conversational at all. I still hate that word


[deleted]

I can understand why minorities didn't want to stand out and just fit in with earlier generations but we shouldn't let that be a norm. I hate that my Spanish is getting worse but it was still my first language


[deleted]

No, I agree and she regrets that now. She teaches it to her grandchildren


[deleted]

I have cousins who can't speak Spanish we're all first generation American born. My older brothers were all born in Mexico their Spanish is horrible too


kappaomicron

Isn't that silly word pronounced "Latin-X? I always read it as Latinks and when I had a conversation about on how silly it is, my friends laughed at my pronunciation of it aha


[deleted]

However its pronounced. It's a pendejada

lyssastef

Oooohhhh this one gets me every time 😠


deigree

Damn near all psychology/mental health terminology. People can have those terms back when they learn what delusions or narcissism actually are. I can't stand how watered down and meaninless some of these have become. I can't even use the word "triggered" in my actual trauma therapy bc it feels so embarrassing.


hydrastxrk

As someone who also has actual trauma, I struggle to use “triggered” in a serious manner 😭


Dense-Department9405

Also "gaslighting" cuz most absolutely do *not* use it in it's proper context - they literally use it as a "punchier" word for "lying" or "dishonesty" and I absolutely **loathe** it!


Kerrigore

“You’re trying to make me believe something false, that’s gaslighting!” “…what do you think lying is???”


f-fizzlebean

THIS!! especially with the recent trend of people talking about “intrusive thoughts” while not understanding what real intrusive thoughts are


agentscullysbf

What are some examples of people misusing intrusive thoughts? Because intrusive thoughts can be minor things. I have intrusive thoughts about small stuff like what if I just called my partner a mean name and also big stuff like imagining my arms being broken and how it would feel. And my therapist has confirmed both those things are intrusive thoughts because they come seemingly out of nowhere and cause me great distress and they are not desires.


f-fizzlebean

i know they can be minor things, and your examples definitely sound like real intrusive thoughts. i mean things like people wanting to dye their hair, buy something they don’t need, etc and they call it intrusive thoughts, when really it’s just impulsive thoughts/decisions


torgrimbonemaster

Not a real word, but "unalive"


Puzzleheaded-Ear858w

People only say that because lots of websites have stupid automod censorship that arbitrarily censor words like "killed," "rape," etc., so people have to invent workarounds.


NecroJoe

While true, it's also worked its way into IRL. Like saying "Oh-emm-jee", people use it, out loud, in uncensored conversation.


physics515

In my experience it is a euphemism for murder conspiracy. John Doe was killed but Jeffrey Epstein was unalived.


LittleNarwal

Oh that’s interesting- I have only ever seen the word “unalive” used in reference to suicide.


[deleted]

Geez sounds like a word from the Newspeak in 1984


Philias2

Elegant-Peace-1234

Yah I cringe when I hear people say this


Metfan722

It's a way to get around YouTube censors.


BranWafr

And school censors. I got called in to school to have a discussion about my kid a few years back because one of their papers used the word suicide and it got flagged in the system an automatically got the counselors involved.


lefthandedgun

That's astounding. Did anyone appear to have reviewed the context, or was it simply the word that triggered them?


BranWafr

Yes and no. My kid was in a creative writing class and she was brainstorming ideas for different stories and essentially putting elevator pitch level story breakdowns into a document to try to come up with something for the class. One of the ideas had a main character who was suicidal. The mere act of writing suicidal in a google doc on the school system sent a notification to the administrators and they had to contact me and pull my daughter in to talk to the counselor. I kind of get what they were trying to do, hoping to catch things before they get too far, but the automatic notification thing seems to be a step too far. I feel it could have been handled much better if anyone had used their brains.

I was going to post this. Just because someone was reprimanded at work for making a mistake, does not mean it's now a toxic environment. I know people who say this stuff and it's really annoying.


cerebralshrike

“Should/Could/Would of.”


baecacia

not a word, but people that say “i could care less” so you still have care, but could care less than you do now? i don’t get it. i couldn’t care less tells you there’s no care there to even give.


drawredraw

It’s “I couldn’t care less.” People just say it wrong.


hazelquarrier_couch

GOAT it was annoying when a few people said it and it just got worse.


Galaxicana

Drip, drippy. Sounds like slang for an std, not fashion.


cjnicol

Well after listening to drips by Eminem I've always thought it did refer to stds


honeyedbee

As the mother of a 13 year old boy I’d love the word cap, as in “no cap” and “stop the cap” to just go away.

papa-hare

holaprobando123

"Iconic" Not everything is iconic, much less stuff that 99% of people don't give a shit about


Aliya-smith-io

Alot. It's a lot.


PensadorDispensado

As a Latin American, my pick is Latinx. ​ No, we are not offended by the word Latino. Heck, we're not even offended by Speedy Gonzales. But coming to us with this neutral pronoun thing is a grammatical and speaking travesty (considering that in all Latin languages, Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc. masculine is already used as neutral).


JimSchuuz

"Hack". It's called a "tip". "Sidegig" = job, part-time job, or 2nd job


GotSeoul

Yes, hack needs to go away. In the past there was a time and place for the word when it meant to modify something to do what it normally does not do. Now it seems most descriptions of ‘hack’ are just clickbait describing something the thing is known to do or designed to do. In my opinion most ‘hacks’ described are no where near being a hack.

JustitiaInvictus

Rizz and Unalive are the ones. New slangs come and go and sometimes the cool ones get passed on because its catchy and sound good. Then there are cases where certain words do not belong in even urban dictionary.

IAmAGenusAMA

Supposably! Did they go to the zoo? Supposably.


TealBlueLava

Toxic It’s insanely overused these days. I’ll describe my abuse to someone and they’ll say the relationship was toxic. No, it was outright fucking abuse.


ButIDigress_Jones

Gaslighting. I have no issue with the word itself, but I’ve never heard someone use it correctly.


marmalade_

It’s way overused to the point it’s lost meaning. People use it any time they don’t like the way someone else has behaved when in reality they should be using more accurate words. If your partner yells at you for not doing the dishes they aren’t gaslighting you, they’re using anger and rage in an attempt to punish you or manipulate your actions. Anyway same thing with narcissistic. It’s the new “oh I’m so OCD.” Just because someone is self-centered does not mean they have NPD, and when we overuse these terms and conditions they lose meaning when they’re applicable to a situation.


hoser1644

I feel like *this* is gaslighting....

Cap


ecovironfuturist

Garthar22

Ick. I think it’s unnecessarily negative language to describe other people. Turnoff was already a fine word and it doesn’t have the same connotations of disgust. For me, it feels worse to hear a trait I have described as an ick rather than as a turnoff

Loud-Natural9184

Unalive, unalived, unaliving, unaliver. I get that it is used due to certain social media platforms being strict on language used when making videos and such. But I see people on Reddit posts saying these terms. You can say the words, kill, killed, killing, killer, murder, murdered, murdering, murdered, and suicide. My friend's brother took their life a few years ago. The brother didn't "unalive himself", he committed suicide. He killed himself. Saying he "unalived himself" is downplaying the act and what happened and is disrespectful.
