Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
I had someone on Twitter a few days ago tell me it's the right wing rhetoric. People really don't understand what that word means do they?

It was down for the count, progressive thinkers and media even advised against using it.
But someone at Bungie did not get the memo.

That's why I don't even use it. The older terms for these people such as "crazy" and "delusional" work just fine. I just say mentally ill. That's what I consider people who think they can warp/alter reality and expect others to conform just to make them feel better.

Interesting. I knew about the first two, just not the rest and had to look them up. Not that I have a stake in this it's nice to learn a bit more about it.

If you've read 1984 or the communist manifesto, you'll know exactly why they're trying to change language.I'm Hispanic and luckily, no one has described me as Latinx...yet. The Spanish language is rooted on the use of masculine and feminine versions of words. The people trying to push this Latinx vocabulary are essentially telling us that our language needs improvement. Fuck them.

Not this crap again. Latinos and Latinas do not use that stupid word. In fact, we dislike it. Whenever this word is brought up, it becomes a heated discussion because of the fact that most of us feel that this word is being forced on Latinos. These damn companies and hiring "experts" that end up give them wrong information.

About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but Just 3% Use It
The term Latinx has emerged in recent years as a gender-neutral alternative to the pan-ethnic terms Latino, Latina and Hispanic. However, awareness of Latinx is relatively low among the population it is meant to describe.

They've hid several comments on the tweet in an attempt to silence some folks, but it seems they gave up and just let the post fester like a pile of dog shit that they didn't have the decency to clean up.
I remember them making a Black @ Bungie thing a few years ago as well, but latinos aren't taking this one lying down, because this madness needs to stop. The word is LATINO or LATINA. If they want to respect our culture, then respect our language FFS!
This will probably get locked but whatever, I thought this was hilarious.
Actually, in English it would be just "Latin" as in our heritage comes from Latin America, of which none of us would refer to each other as such, given that Latin America has 21 individual countries, each with distinct histories and cultures. Morons!

Because some political asshead will look at demographic rates and convince execs if they pander some nonsense they could get an extra 2% sales being a friend of the community. This of course assumes the other 98% don’t mind.
Looks like some marketing and PR managers still didn’t hear about the Bud Light incident.

Trying to change a fundamentally gendered language because it offends you is just another form of colonialism.

The funny thing is whenever you see these kinds of corporate pandering based off gender or racial background stuff you can bet your mortgage the company doing it has an employee pool the exact opposite of what it’s trying to promote. They just hope nobody digs into their corporate demographics.
I bet Bungie as a company has hardly any Latino people and most people are straight.

Yup. If I was Latino I’d find it pretty insulting because it’s basically saying “your language is gendered and that’s bad. Your language is bad, let us fix it for you”
I’d tell them to fuck ALL the way off and get a new hobby.

lets not speak for all hispanics/latin american people. younger folks are embracing and pushing forward the usage of latine, especially in the LATAM region. Im very active in the space, have been part of multiple non profits as well as active in social advocacy; let me tell you there is a lot more groundswell for latine than you may hear.
Its mostly older latin american folks that get mad about latinx/latine; similar to older americans who also hate the idea of inclusive language for non binary folks. I dont get the outrage, latino is still there, no one is saying not to use it, but if folks identify with latine instead, why gatekeep?

Fuck the west Coast liberals. I'm living here as well and everyday I hate hypocrisy more and more.
Fucking mayor came to work site the other day giving a speech about how beautiful the city is, in reality the next day at the exact place some druggies stole the bike of my colleague who just moved here two weeks ago.
Can't leave the cesspool just yet because of family, and visa stuff. But I will as soon as I can.

I had no idea what I was reading until you explained it so many thanks, I think I get it now. From the U.K. here and I’ve never heard of it. Whether that’s a thing here I’m not sure.

That’s tech companies for ya. Always first in line playing the political card. Hell, they got to since the majority of their employee pool will be white guys. So got to deflect any potential criticism with some PR.

This shit is stupid and annoying and I'm not even Latino.
I thought this shit died years ago with public backlash. Why is Bungie still trying to bring this shit back when it offends so many people?

French language is the exact same. Masculin and feminine classifications.
How come nobody has tried messing with French language. But Latinx is open season for changing?

That's one of the fallacies I see people relying on to criticize DIE, that it's only white people pushing it. It's not. We should attack the idea for its own shittiness, not based on who does or does not support it. We're one step away falling into the traps of race-based thinking when we criticize ideas in this way.
Because the Latino population is much bigger than the french descendant ones, so they think they're catering to the second biggest group in USA, except that they despise it hardcore, french people would have the same disgust, in fact, in France outside of the economic ideology, they're very politically incorret.

Check this out:
Cavani banned over 'negrito' social media post
Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani has been banned for three matches and fined £100,000 for using a racial term in a social media post, the Football Association announced on Thursday.
English FA fined a silly foreign person for using their own barbaric language with their own friends. Ugh!
All of the 'highbrow' British press supported this move, btw.

If Hispanics are pushing this shit than they can open a can of Chenga tu Madre as well. I've never seen ANY Latino say this shit except on TV and it made my whole family and I cringe lol

Feels a little late to the corporate DEI party.
I've literally got people in my company that are the heads of DEI groups and they act like they're the CEO...up until the moment they get shitcanned after a bad quarter.

I don't have any specific examples but it's definitely been pushed by Hispanic professors/authors, as well as other non-whites. To call it a white concept is misleading. It likely originates from Hispanic DEI professors.

But some people see that as segregation and that words should be melded together like one big happy family.
