This might be the worst Idea Bungie has ever came up with… And it’s even funnier that they’re Hiding every Reply going against their narrative and for God Sakes DO NOT call us a Latinx

    Trans people is a whole other rabbit hole, they say they are either a man or a woman but refuse to be called by it and want to be called trans man/woman, cause they want to be special

    lmao what? no call me a woman, I’m totally fine with that. I’m only a trans woman with friends.

      “i can’t even deal with these transjenders! they all want me to [made up rule that no trans person ever asked them to do]!”

      (Also, what’s the Hexbear party line on latinx?)

      AFAIK it’s something like “the term itself is a bit niche, latine is maybe more common as a gender neutral term, but anyone making a fuss about it is a chud.”

      Elsewhere in this thread this was said.

      I’ve met some leftists latine people with different takes, including “linguistic gender is different and latino is already inclusive” but I’ve seen enough nonbinary latine people say otherwise to not take that seriously (plus it was on a server dominanted by people with really bad takes like xenogenders bad and kink at pride bad. Predominantly ML server as well its a weird culture.)

          Essentially a method for people who would normally fall under the nonbinary banner to describe their gender as they don’t really like that term and don’t feel it is accurate because they feel they are distinct from other nonbinary people. Instead they use words to describe the feel of their gender which is where plants, or animals or other things come in.

          Also people who want to say fuck gender altogether.

          In addition to what awoo said, often a way for neurodiverse people to desribe their unique relationship with gender.

          Interestingly, they aren’t transmeds, but the trans person that enables the rest of them to be shitty by telling them their opinions are ok is very much an assilimationist and that drives a lot of her opinions. Oddly she isnt against neos either though. So she doesnt have EVERY bad opinion you can have.

              Her take on xenogenders is that its “not a materialist take on what gender is” (she’s like, almost religiously obsessed with materialism in a weird way) and when me and some other people tried to point out that this is like the exact same thing faux-Marxists transmeds say, and indeed what faux-Marxist full on transphobes say, she said “yeah but in this case I’m right”.

      i’m not a spanish speaker, so what i have to say doesn’t rly matter, but i’ve yet to see it championed by a predominantly spanish-speaking organization or activist.

      in general i think generating new linguistic signifiers for having the right politics is easily confused with having the right politics, which is easily confused with actually doing politics.

    Saying “The majority of Spanish speaking communities object to the use of novel nonbinary suffixes” isn’t really context any more than saying “The majority of english speakers hate nonbinary pronouns.”

    Okay, so there are a fuckton of spanish speaking bigots? Thanks. Never would have guessed. The context that would actually be useful here is what nonbinary spanish speaking communities think of these.

      Yeah, I was going to ask is there genuinely a more preferred term that non-binary people like to use, or is this more akin to people throwing a tantrum similar to “You can’t use they as a singular pronoun!! You want me to refer to you as multiple people?!?!?”

        Latine or latin@ have been used. Latine is more of what I see. Latinx is a largely American creation from what I’ve seen and is difficult to pronounce in Spanish. Latine is a lot more natural to say.

      As somebody who enjoys a whole lot of dumb guy games, my experience is that looter shooters often attract edgelords and people who overly serious about themselves and the video games they play. It’s a pain in the ass demographic, but I think there’s still a worse contingent in Old School Runescape. IMO, it’s without question the most forwardly nazi/neckbeard audience of any mainstream game. I mean like “if you go to any popular training spot and play for an hour, you’ll see at least one conversation about whether women are getting too uppity or if (((they))) are human” level awful. They have a yearly pride parade in-game run by the devs and every year and the hate was so bad they have to explicitly say in the newspost for it that crashing it will get you banned, no warnings.

      I thought that line was pretty good when I heard it in Cyberpunk, but I underestimated how unbelievably dense gamers are. These people really played through that entire game and went away thinking “this is just like pronouns”.

    Oh boy. The LatinX argument. Nobody I know is even really aware of it and the few that are tend to have studied abroad or consume a lot of Anglo media. The right-wing in the capitol hates the word and uses it as an example of “American woke culture” brainwashing us.

    I’m not really fond of it because it’s difficult to pronounce and sounds goofy. US latinos are more than welcome to use it if it’s their preference. We have ours that work well for us.
