It’s extremely cringe how many people on hexbear turn into chuds over the term “latinx”.
just shut the fuck up and use inclusive language. bunch of assholes turning into transphobic racist boomers the moment “latinx” pops up.
Latinx is not about eliminating the concept of gender from the language, just when referencing groups of people with multiple gender identities.
Case in point:

Badempanada also did a video on this
tldw; it's a home-grown thing in spanish by spanish speakers that is pretty widely used to make the language more inclusive. the primary opposition to its use in those countries are chuds.
“latine is better, thusly I can therefore mock latinx” :speech-r::stupidpol:
use latine as well, yeah. lots of native speakers who are queer prefer the term Latine since it’s closer to being grammatically correct and fits within sentences structure easier. latinx came first so it’s still in use in a lot of countries and communities. Use both terms and eventually one will fade out.
Complaining about latinx at this point is boring and chud tier. When you do it you’re complaining about inclusion and alienating a lot of the people who use that term.
If you’re white especially, complaining about it is also a clear virtue signal that you’re racist + queerphobic and most people will assume that. It’s literal stupidpol cracker fodder.
stop tripping over yourselves to be racist the moment you think you can use “it’s a lib idpol thing” as an excuse. It’s extremely obvious what you’re doing either intentionally or because you have unexamined reactionary brainworms.
this piss baby stupidpol cohort is not a majority on hexbear, just an annoyingly loud clique of users.
If this applies to you and you feel called out: just adapt how you’re thinking about it and move on. We all have maggots in our skulls, you’re only a bad person if you leave them in there once they're pointed out.
i was never against the word but i agree i had a bad take. i guess i come from a place that has a very weird colonial relationship with the US and sometimes those who are fundamentally reactionary dress their rhetoric leftist and anti-imperialist language making it really easy for people to fall for their bullshit. You’re right, they’re just chuds.
