I'm glad we're finally starting to get to the other side of the whole "latinx" thing.

Good going Disney. Latin is already gender neutral. People who use latinx are absolute

Most average people don't care either way. It started in Puerto Rican academic circles and then became sort of a "well it's coming from someone who is well-meaning" kind of thing
A few people feel strongly because they think it's an attack on our language, but eh. Most of my progressive friends prefer to use latine because it actually works in the language

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Why the fuck would someone use "latinx" instead of "latine".

As a leftist, LatinX was really really dumb and it should die.

Most of my ELL students prefer Latin or Latino and hate LatinX

LatinX reads like a weird Megaman spin-off

Latinx sounds like a Pokemon

I never had any issues with LatinX but I only ever saw it in writing so I've always been a little unclear how it works when you say it in Spanish

Who cares how you say it in Spanish when you are using it in English?

It was created by Spanish speakers so naturally I'm curious how it fits into the language

I've heard "Latin-ex" as well as "Lateen-ex", but never "Lateenx"

My hunch is that the x was never meant to be pronounced at all, but was supposed to be a sort of placeholder, like how some feminist circles and literature use it in womxn
