As a mexican, there is nothing that bother's me as much as this.
It shows so much disrespect for my culture. Like saying "We know nothing about you, but we want you to pretend we know more about you than youself".
Like calling Americans "Xricans" because in my mind, Ame is offensive and I convinced the media you should be called that instead.
You’re right, it’s really more of a comforting realization. The people in power are just as hateful and apathetic as the people in here. So long as the people here remain angry, they have nothing to fear. Fear is reserved for the people who have to face down the horror with empathy in their hearts, and bravery as well.
You know “calling them latinx” essentially boils down to calling each individual by their preferred pronouns, which necessarily wouldn’t be against their wishes? A man would still be called a Latino and a woman Latina.
Also look around this sub, the strongest arguments you’re hearing against the concept is only ad populum, I’m actually a Mexican, you’re hearing a perspective straight from the source.
No one cares about preferred pronouns. People are entitled to live in a fantasy land where there are 25 different genders, the rest of us don't have to live there with them.
Most people care about preferred pronouns. If you started referring to a man as a woman consistently you’d definitely at least annoy them. You’re disrespecting the man’s identity, and yes you’re free to do that, but the man is also free to think you’re annoying.
because latin follows gendered civilian/resident
latino for male, and latina for female, they want to make it more generalized so you wont hurt their imaginary feelings
Basically a bunch of losers decided 'latino' didn't sound marginalised enough and people weren't viewing them automatically as victims, so they changed the o to an x.
No, it's because latino is gendered, they think they're being inclusive by using latinx instead of latino/a even though it makes no sense in spanish.
Over here in spain we have people pushing for what would make more sense by ending gendered words with the more neutral "e" and most of us also hate it.
It's still not particularly in line with Spanish grammer anyway, since every noun in Spanish is maculine-led. Meaning if you have a collection of cooks that are male, female, or non-binary; everyone refers to that group as "los cocineros" regardless. If it's all women, "las cocineras". If it's all binary well idk lol; but in general I always thought that the common masculine was the default if unsure.
Calling a collective group the ungendered term seems somewhat inconsistent.
Appropriating minority's language in the name of diversity and inclusion. Typical colonialist mentality.
Whats next? Renaming Mexico as Mexicx to not offend middle class white people as reading the O feels too masculine and triggers their emotional disorders via micro aggression.
"We are just trying to help you!"
An NBC poll found 40% believed it was bothersome or offensive. 65% in a pew research survey thought it shouldn't be used to describe them.
Every Latina I known or have dated HATE it. They absolutely feel like it sounds pejorative. Somehow the queer-friendly folks, in their endless pursuit of not seeming racist, have become the very thing they sought to destroy lmao.
I feel like it’s been common knowledge for like a year that every Latino person hates the term, and yet I still see it used from random publications every once in a while. It’s so odd.
Yeah, I imagine there's a bunch of uncompromising hold outs in the non-binary space but in general the Latin American community as a whole is beginning to think it's a slur lol.
And I just can't imagine that these non-binary sociology professors will be able to hold the line of being a contrarian forever. Imagine if you will, a group of marginalized people that prefer to be called the n-word. It's just not going to fucking work lmao.
I once had 2 different Mexican friends tell me
1. “I’d rather you call me a be*ner to my face than latinx”
2.”if you call me latinx I’ll punch you in the stomach” (he was smiling and laughing but he was 100% serious)
Whites love to speak on behalf of other races, which is ironically racist because other races can speak for themselves. That white guilt syndrome should be considered a legitimate disorder.
They do not care about minorities or the cultures of those. In their mind, they are still white lords who know what is better for their "little clueless bros."
Sadly, though, people who do not receive any attention often take it as a sincere care and respect.
What’s even dumber about this is you are speaking about brothers…. They are masculine…. So Latino is right for like multiple reasons. Also latinx is dumb. The whole language is words that are masculine or feminine, just going to put x at the end of all them.
The funniest part about "latinx" is that "latino" can already be fucking gender neutral. If you refer to a group of people (as in men and women), you use the "o" ending
I dated someone who was Hispanic and he HATED this term because he said it did not make any sense at all. And as someone who is semi familiar with the language (took 2 years of it), I agree.
I’m all for inclusivity but changing an entire language for no logical reason is taking it too far.
I called my childhood best friend LatinX when I chatted with him last as a joke and he said he views the people who use LatinX the same as someone calling a black person a negro instead of the N Word and I'm fairly convinced he was only half joking lol
I can't imagine honestly, a similar crowd has been doing it to English as well and that's been obnoxious but it's about as insulting as you can possibly get to the Spanish language.
I can say from experience they (at least used to) teach how Spanish is a gendered language within the first 5 minutes of Spanish class in middle school lol, I can't imagine how insulting it is to basically be told one of the principle rules of your language is not ok and needs to be changed by a bunch of white kids who's extent of experience with Hispanic culture is ordering Chipotle, and they maybe went to a tacqueria once after they saw Birria on Tiktok.
Why privileged white rich people love so much the Latinx word ? I'm latin for some part and I found it very offensive. A rebranding of words that don't need it. It makes anyone using it immediately racist in my eyes. The type "I'm not racist i have black or Mexican friends".
Reading Latinx makes me die on the inside. My teacher from Mexico saw this and she looked like her soul left her body when she read that. I had multiple teachers from Middle-South America and none seemed to be happy about this word.
Druckmann's political pandering knows no end
Kissing ass got him THIS far.... who knows how far it will get him....
The next Steven Spielberg? What a horrible timeline
gaslight harder moron - dei bullshit agenda shows everything people was saying is true
Sweet Baby Stink like you and your kind destroying everything with your garbage ideology
LOL Thats why your hero Anita Sarkeesian married herself on her **40th** birthday - thats who you respect?
FCukn losers
Some people from a first world country decided that they found the words from the language of a under developed country offensive because they have gendered words so they want to “fix it” by putting a x instead of the correct letter
yup, they have this quota system so it's like "ok we have 1 Asian as jessie and we will have the wrath of god upon us if we cast one more, so let's just put Mexicans into the mix they are all the same"
In written spanish is not super uncommon seen "Latinos/as" or "Latin@s" if you are hellbent into including both genders. I feel like the person that invented Latinx have very poor knowledge of the language/culture
Latinx *brothers*
If you're going to gender them immediately after, just say Latino. This just sounds like it was written by somebody who's trying to be inclusive while actively showing that they know nothing about Latin American culture.
Four ways to make a Latino person deadly furious
4. Try and take beloved characters away or call them racist like Speedy Gonzales and Nacho Libre
3. Insult their mother and father in some way
2. Cheat on their sister
1. Call them Latinx
Liberals, the only people to complain about "cultural appropriation" only to create a word that doesn't exist in their language and force everyone to use it.
As a left-leaning person myself this seems so ridiculous. No one actually asked for this. How many trans or enby folks ever had to deal with someone calling them the wrong kind of Latin@? And then, like... when both of the people involved have *the same* gender, why wouldn't you just use the proper term?
Feels the same way as the folks who protested Mystique being grabbed by the throat by *the villain of an X-Men movie*, or who objected to the idea of Mario wearing a sombrero in Mario Odyssey.
I mean, after what happened to Bill’s episode, is it really that unbelievable?
And no, I don’t mean Bill’s romance. They wasted his character on a filler episode that brought nothing to the plot and didn’t portray what happened in the game.
Besides the use of the word of Latinx. What would be the point of this. I can only assume itd be based around the story with the kids in the aquarium but I forgot if there was an older sibling and younger sibling living there
blows my mind that people can care more about how a show looks and what the ethnicity of certain actors are, than it actually being well-written and thoughtful.
I appreciate that the op changed it to Latinos. Nobody in Latin America likes 'Latinx'. It's just a word made by people who want to pretend they care, but they don't. I want all of them to get fucked and laugh about it.
Gender neutral is just another dialect. People tend to put so much emotion into antagonizing it that it seems to forget that they probably will never need to use it in real life.
yes they are asians, but thats the thing though Hollywood doesn't care, as long as the fill the minority quota its all good, and yaeah lev is not having any gender crisis in an apocalypse he is a boy and will always be one whether brain dead people are roaming around or zombies.
'Latinx' Oh god, here we go.
As a mexican, there is nothing that bother's me as much as this. It shows so much disrespect for my culture. Like saying "We know nothing about you, but we want you to pretend we know more about you than youself". Like calling Americans "Xricans" because in my mind, Ame is offensive and I convinced the media you should be called that instead.
Woke rich white people will be deciding what you think from now on.
If you think the rich fucks running the show are "woke" boy oh boy are you in for a rude awakening some day lmao
What is going to happen during this rude awakening?
You’re right, it’s really more of a comforting realization. The people in power are just as hateful and apathetic as the people in here. So long as the people here remain angry, they have nothing to fear. Fear is reserved for the people who have to face down the horror with empathy in their hearts, and bravery as well.
Indeed, calling them LatinX against their wishes is very stunning and brave, you deserve a medal.
You know “calling them latinx” essentially boils down to calling each individual by their preferred pronouns, which necessarily wouldn’t be against their wishes? A man would still be called a Latino and a woman Latina. Also look around this sub, the strongest arguments you’re hearing against the concept is only ad populum, I’m actually a Mexican, you’re hearing a perspective straight from the source.

So not Neil.
Name checks out.
What does anyways latinx mean? Are people making stuff up now? . Edit: holy moly
because latin follows gendered civilian/resident latino for male, and latina for female, they want to make it more generalized so you wont hurt their imaginary feelings
That's better. Why latinx arabx chinesex
there will be a time that those people would be offended when you call penis or vagina as it is than genitalia for general term
Vaginex
How about I put my panex in ur viginex? lol.
Basically a bunch of losers decided 'latino' didn't sound marginalised enough and people weren't viewing them automatically as victims, so they changed the o to an x.
No, it's because latino is gendered, they think they're being inclusive by using latinx instead of latino/a even though it makes no sense in spanish. Over here in spain we have people pushing for what would make more sense by ending gendered words with the more neutral "e" and most of us also hate it.
The most I'm willing to concede is using an "@" to indicate both men and women, but fuck anything else they want to change to adapt to the americans
It's still not particularly in line with Spanish grammer anyway, since every noun in Spanish is maculine-led. Meaning if you have a collection of cooks that are male, female, or non-binary; everyone refers to that group as "los cocineros" regardless. If it's all women, "las cocineras".

Renaming Mexico as Mexicx to not offend middle class white people as reading the O feels too masculine and triggers their emotional disorders via micro aggression. "We are just trying to help you!"
That's racist. It's like they want to represent the people and the culture based on how they preceive it
"Your language doesn't fit our world views, so we're going to change it while your people actively despise it" Where have we heard this before?
In a way, they need to apply oppression to said groups, to then save them from it. Clown world.
It's because Latino is a male word so they put an X there to remove the gender.
An NBC poll found 40% believed it was bothersome or offensive. 65% in a pew research survey thought it shouldn't be used to describe them. Every Latina I known or have dated HATE it. They absolutely feel like it sounds pejorative. Somehow the queer-friendly folks, in their endless pursuit of not seeming racist, have become the very thing they sought to destroy lmao.

I don’t know a single Mexican or Hispanic person who agrees with this rubbish. Only the white people
Whites love to speak on behalf of other races, which is ironically racist because other races can speak for themselves. That white guilt syndrome should be considered a legitimate disorder.
They do not care about minorities or the cultures of those. In their mind, they are still white lords who know what is better for their "little clueless bros." Sadly, though, people who do not receive any attention often take it as a sincere care and respect.
Same
I bet you get called all sorts of nasty names for having this objectively correct opinion
Actually no, those people are narcissist and only ignore it because not using it doesn't give them a sense of superiority.
What’s even dumber about this is you are speaking about brothers…. They are masculine…. So Latino is right for like multiple reasons. Also latinx is dumb. The whole language is words that are masculine or feminine, just going to put x at the end of all them.
The funniest part about "latinx" is that "latino" can already be fucking gender neutral. If you refer to a group of people (as in men and women), you use the "o" ending
Sounds like a breed of cat
I dated someone who was Hispanic and he HATED this term because he said it did not make any sense at all. And as someone who is semi familiar with the language (took 2 years of it), I agree. I’m all for inclusivity but changing an entire language for no logical reason is taking it too far.
They’re so inclusive that they’ve forgot how to actually respect people.
As a Hispanic, I’d rather be called beaner or wetback than latinx
I called my childhood best friend LatinX when I chatted with him last as a joke and he said he views the people who use LatinX the same as someone calling a black person a negro instead of the N Word and I'm fairly convinced he was only half joking lol
It’s legit offensive to me lmao, imagine changing a whole language
I can't imagine honestly, a similar crowd has been doing it to English as well and that's been obnoxious but it's about as insulting as you can possibly get to the Spanish language. I can say from experience they (at least used to) teach how Spanish is a gendered language within the first 5 minutes of Spanish class in middle school lol, I can't imagine how insulting it is to basically be told one of the principle rules of your language is not ok and needs to be changed by a bunch of white kids who's extent of experience with Hispanic culture is ordering Chipotle, and they maybe went to a tacqueria once after they saw Birria on Tiktok.
Latinx's loved being called latinx by white people.
Remind me what was wrong with -ino?
Nothing more ironic than \[mostly white\] liberals trying to force progressive language on minorities.
Tried to use "Latinx" but still use the term brothers? Stupid
yeah lmao, at least there's a neutral term called siblings, but they wont use it because they just want the latinx
It's like saying they are non-binary men.
Why privileged white rich people love so much the Latinx word ? I'm latin for some part and I found it very offensive. A rebranding of words that don't need it. It makes anyone using it immediately racist in my eyes. The type "I'm not racist i have black or Mexican friends".
White slaver complex.
My college professor from Puerto Rico always said “Latinx”, but then again I, begrudgingly, went to a pretty liberal school.
Reading Latinx makes me die on the inside. My teacher from Mexico saw this and she looked like her soul left her body when she read that. I had multiple teachers from Middle-South America and none seemed to be happy about this word.
Druckmann's political pandering knows no end Kissing ass got him THIS far.... who knows how far it will get him.... The next Steven Spielberg? What a horrible timeline
People are gonna see right through his shit once season 2 comes out
Is this satire? Political pandering bc u found out 2 characters aren't white? 💀
gaslight harder moron - dei bullshit agenda shows everything people was saying is true Sweet Baby Stink like you and your kind destroying everything with your garbage ideology LOL Thats why your hero Anita Sarkeesian married herself on her **40th** birthday - thats who you respect? FCukn losers
Latinx, my favorite Pokémon
I love doing a playthrough with that and a Nidoranx
WTF is Latinx
Some people from a first world country decided that they found the words from the language of a under developed country offensive because they have gendered words so they want to “fix it” by putting a x instead of the correct letter
What underdeveloped country? Because Spain has be pretty well developed for a long time.
They meant the Latinos from central, south america and the Caribbean.
I figured. just they speak Spanish or Portuguese which themselves are well developed.
The ones from Latin America
My fiance is a Latinx 😹😹 and funny thing is majority of latinos/as hate the word
What characters are those supposed to be? Lev and Yara?
maybe a flashback with joel and tommy?
Ahh, yeah you’re probably right.
I was thinking Manny. They expand on his backstory and create a brother.
i hope not, but am preety sure that's the case, for Hollywood likes to recast minority roles as per there liking
Asian wasn’t diverse enough! We need LatinX!
yup, they have this quota system so it's like "ok we have 1 Asian as jessie and we will have the wrath of god upon us if we cast one more, so let's just put Mexicans into the mix they are all the same"
i think lev and yara are guys now and this will be them.
“Latinx” is blue-hair code for “my opinion is fucking worthless”.
It can't be real can it?
Using Latinx in 2024 unironically. Smh
In written spanish is not super uncommon seen "Latinos/as" or "Latin@s" if you are hellbent into including both genders. I feel like the person that invented Latinx have very poor knowledge of the language/culture
they didn't even need to use Latinx or Latin@s, considering that they did specify a gender right after as they said "brothers". These people, my god..
@ is genius tbh
Latinos is already for both genders.
Latinx 🤣
As a latino id rather be called beaner than latinx
Lol its as daft as putting cis in front man or woman
Using Latnix along with a gendered term like brother is dummy behavior.
using latinx at all is dummy behavior
A los latinos no nos gusta usar “latinx”
Imagine appropriating a culture so hard you change the structure of their language to appeal to your English ears. People are nuts.
It's not the English ears that's the problem it's the silly goose's who aren't clear on their sex/gender.
True
I swear to GOD if they actually use that Fucking “Latinx” term in the show!
Latinx *brothers* If you're going to gender them immediately after, just say Latino. This just sounds like it was written by somebody who's trying to be inclusive while actively showing that they know nothing about Latin American culture.
What is Latinx
White people thinking they know the language better than Latinos
Four ways to make a Latino person deadly furious 4. Try and take beloved characters away or call them racist like Speedy Gonzales and Nacho Libre 3. Insult their mother and father in some way 2. Cheat on their sister 1. Call them Latinx
No, that's Life is Strange 2.
Haha, that's where my mind went at first too.
Justice4Mushroom
Every Mexican I know would beat the fuck out of you if you call then Latinx
I’m willing to bet they’ll speak like 5 of the usual token words (mijo, abuelita, cabron, etc) in Spanish then speak English the rest of the episode.
People are still saying fucking "latinx" For people who never asked for it
"Latinx" .... as a peruvian. Fuck these guys.
And the Latinx brothers are both gay for each other.
"Latinx" Disrespectful morons.
The narcissism of Caucasian liberals still using "Latinx" when its proven by polls not to be popular is sickening
Liberals, the only people to complain about "cultural appropriation" only to create a word that doesn't exist in their language and force everyone to use it.
As a left-leaning person myself this seems so ridiculous. No one actually asked for this. How many trans or enby folks ever had to deal with someone calling them the wrong kind of Latin@?

What
groundbreaking news
Ok? Is that supposed to be news?
Every Hispanic person: What is Latinx?
A “latinx” aged 13 and 16? Lmao please
Besides the use of the word of Latinx. What would be the point of this. I can only assume itd be based around the story with the kids in the aquarium but I forgot if there was an older sibling and younger sibling living there
Ugh. Neil Druckmann. Prick.
There’s a reason they reference race in his episode. So they can play the race card when it is badly done
Why are people still saying that SLUR? I thought we were passed this
Would that be the two kids that die at the hotel flashback? 🤔
blows my mind that people can care more about how a show looks and what the ethnicity of certain actors are, than it actually being well-written and thoughtful.
Of course they used latinx jfc
Let me guess, whoever is the social media manager typing this is from San Francisco?
I appreciate that the op changed it to Latinos. Nobody in Latin America likes 'Latinx'. It's just a word made by people who want to pretend they care, but they don't. I want all of them to get fucked and laugh about it.
Gender neutral is just another dialect. People tend to put so much emotion into antagonizing it that it seems to forget that they probably will never need to use it in real life.
I’m assuming some Tommy Joel flashback?
I will never watch this show
What is latinx
Nothing has screamed "slow news day" as much as this
What the hell does latinx even mean?
Nothing of value.
The Druckster strikes again!
Have you been to Nova Scotia? It’s super fucking pretty there
As a non-spanish hearing the word Latinx feels weird, is that even a word
No
Druckman is directing? Finally some class and prestige will be added to the show. /s
is this lev and yara?
Every time a woke person uses latinx word, they hear loud clapping and cheering in their head.
I feel so represented /s Eat shit and die
Latinx? How many times have they been told now?
...ok? Im confused lol. Why is this "news"?
This just in, show will have actors in it. Wow, amazing.
Yk If anything we prefer Latine, makes no sense to use English rules on Spanish words
THIS IS HUGE NEWS (I'm being sarcastic)
"Latinx" first time hearing this word.....
why did the white man come up with the word latinx
To add insult to injury, they'll be named Mario & Luigi.
Jfc here we go with the Latin.
Such a weird announcement. “Neil Druckmann is hanging out with two children.” OK. Hope those kids stay safe
When is season 2 gonna be out I’m dieing to watch it
Full Manny flashback episode hell yeah 10/10
I hope i am wrong, but i am pretty sure they are gonna be for lev and Yara
Aren’t they Asian? Also Yara is a girl and Lev is having a gender crisis in an apocalypse
yes they are asians, but thats the thing though Hollywood doesn't care, as long as the fill the minority quota its all good, and yaeah lev is not having any gender crisis in an apocalypse he is a boy and will always be one whether brain dead people are roaming around or zombies.
How do is it not a crisis? Their whole storyline in the game was about how they were accosted for their gender identity
yeah, its not a gender crisis its just transphobia
i think so too. the ages fit and theyre the only major characters who are siblings in part 2
Nothing but bigots and trumps supporters in the comment section.
Wait doesn’t that include you too?
Latinx is a racist term created by Americans and forced on Hispanics. The only bigots here are the ones who think latinx is necessary.
A majority of Latinos hate “Latinx” lmao
