My first thought anytime i see *x is of Marvel’s Weapon X.
So I think of bad ass superpowered latinx.
And really, finding the courage to be *x because that is what you are despite the shittyness the world will heap on you. That requires/proves superpowers.
it can’t be pronounced by native Spanish speakers - probably because it was invented by white American guy.
a gender neutral ending that can be actually pronounced had already sprung up naturally (-e/-é, so Latiné), and probably would have been more widespread for now if not by fucking white ass culture warrior bs pushing for the stupid dumbass X ending. Instead, the one that organically came up via the Mexican drag community gets buried by the idioté white guy version.
You want to get on a Hispanics bad side, then use the dumbass X ending.
Lol I’m so glad this thing isn’t catching on and is so often ridiculed by the people it’s supposed to “help.” I see that silly X and my phonetic brain just goes
“Lah-tinks” or in the above poster’s instance “Fill-ih-pinks”. LMAO wat? Who would appreciate that?!
This is the same culture-warrior neckbearding that wants to crusade and die on the hill that “Hey guys” should be offensive to anybody in a mixed group who doesn’t just so happen to be male.
It feels like the kinda thing that only sounds like a good idea when people are so isolated they only communicate online.
I miss feeling like that about the letter X. Ever since Elon Musk started using the letter for everything he has a hand in naming, it’s lost the cool sheen it used to have for me. :(
