Quote from: Dimitrios;1115437Heh. When that poll came out finding that 98% of latinos think the term "latinx" is bullshit, I predicted that this would have zero impact on the use of that term in woke academic circles. So far I've been proven correct.

I've been saying this stuff since before it was cool and all I ever got was an appeal to non-existent Latinos that supposedly exist somewhere and apparently support this stuff. And that me being Latino and living in an actual Spanish speaking island where 99.9% of the population outside of gender studies departments DO NOT use that term (which is unpronounceable) does not invalidate the tiny percentage of largely US born or raised Tumblrite Latinos that apparently do. Cuz we ALL have to remember the small minorities within minorities of brainwashed ideologues who want to push nonsense on the rest of the population and take their fee-fees into consideration.

"Latinx" is an anglicized imperialistic* abomination of the Spanish language that does not follow Spanish language structure or can even be pronounced and exists solely as decoration to appeal to the cultural sensitivities of ideologues that clearly see Spanish speaking people as ignorant savages that need to be told how to speak their language properly, in the gender-ideologue approved way. It's just proof that these people are entitled petty tyrants and their "concern" for the marginalized communities is only skin deep and a tool for their own advancement.

*which is what SJWs are: a bunch of cultural imperialists taking over shit so they can tell their presumed subjects what's what, while pretending to be "decolonizing" stuff or some other nonsense when colonizing is precisely how they operate.

That's completely the truth, many just don't realise it. I know many flavors of SJW: Moron, Opportunist, Rabid Person, Social Reconstructivist, Commie, exetera.
While there are a few bad actors who know that what their doing is not what they're saying but want to create their "Perfect" world, id say most SJWs are just kindhearted morons stuck in logical loops.
They will decry colonialism, but won't skip a beat talking about how modern PC culture is the best and should be applied to everything because it's inclusive.
Again Id say a solid 70% don't do this out of malice but more like robots that are stuck in an infinite while loop.

Id say only 30% of SJWs make up the rabid deconstructivists. The morons completely help out the deconstructivists but it's important to ascertain motives.

I always imagined that a Latinx was someone who used to be Latino.

Quote from: Dimitrios;1115437When that poll came out finding that 98% of latinos think the term "latinx" is bullshit, I predicted that this would have zero impact on the use of that term in woke academic circles.

That's because Latinos don't know what's best for them! And how could they? They're not white.

Fortunately, we have woke white people who DO know what's best for the Latinx community. And "woke" means always right.

BTW, just shared "Latinx" with my Peruvian born All-American acquaintance/client and he nearly choked. His facial expression was priceless and he thought I was messing with him (again) until he googled it.

Him: You white people are fucking up Spanish.
Me: Apparently its from Latinx university professors.
Him: No, that's too stupid. Why is there an X? That's no Spanish.
Me: It's to show Latinx are inclusive of transgenders.
Him: I hate everything you show me on the internet. You are worse than Facebook.
Me: Maybe your kids can take Latinx studies in college?
Him: I'm only paying for business or computer degrees, maybe law school.
Me: That sounds like the oppression of the patriarchy.
Him: Yes, I'm their father.

"Worse than Facebook." Man, Spin, you should wear that proudly.

This includes not just actual SJWs but normal people who fall for their crap as well. Most people just take everything at face value and don't dig deeper or consider that sometimes (often?) people are full of shit.

They get told that this is about equality or inclusivity and what not, then they don't stop to consider whether the actual methods they are using or proposing actually advance those aims or contradict them. "Don't you know that LGBT-only game group are actually about inclusivity because [insert revisionist view of history and lots of loaded buzzwords, like 'privilege']?"

Quote from: Shasarak;1115443I always imagined that a Latinx was someone who used to be Latino.

Which ironically includes just about every Latino who uses the term LatinX unironically.

Quote from: Gagarth;1115410The whole notion that these groups are based on Freedom of Association is bollocks since a group excepting only straight white males would never be tolerated.

Again, I'll play Devil's Advocate. Does the human garbage of Roll20 or other SJW douche dribble have to tolerate others to invoke their own right of Freedom of Association?

AKA, do people have to respect the rights of others to segregate in order to self-segregate?

And if yes, how should that be enforced? Legally?

And if not, what does it mean for society if we allow hypocrites to have rights, yet deny them from others?

Quote from: Gagarth;1115425How do these segregationists actually live? Do they have jobs, do they use restaurants or attend  public events? If they are so traumatised by a person with white skin or someone that seems to heterosexual or cis do they ever leave their homes?   Maybe they are the real basement dwellers.  Also what is the next step  segregated work spaces, public venues and public transport? Maybe that will make them happy.

Most people self-segregate in their lives to varying degrees because humans prefer humans like themselves. Whether that be division by race, religion, socio-economic, ideology or other characteristic. Of course, how much a person can self-segregate depends on their circumstances and options. If you live in a homogeneous community, its much easier to stick to your own, work and shop among your own and have very little to do with The Others. This becomes harder the more "diversity" exists in your community.

I suspect the most upset segregationists live in the most "diverse" communities, and thus seek segregation online where they can form bubbles.

Greetings!

I love the Spanish language. "Latinx" is an abomination. Every Latino should find it very offensive, condescending--even degrading. I think linguistically it's a form of horrible insult. Latino's everywhere should reject this bullshit terminology with severe passion.

I like traditional, masculine Hispanic culture. I love wonderful, feminine Latina women. Have some fucking respect for the traditional Hispanic cultures and language!

Imagine that. How's that for "Diversity"?

If all of these counter-cultural freaks and misfits don't like it, then too fucking bad. They can shut the fuck up and choke on it.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

I thought Latinx ("la-tinks") was a new CalArts Thundercat or something when I first heard it. I still think someone should draw an anthro-pixie-cat marking territory (with its gender fluid?), calling it La-Tinx.

Yeah, my Latin-side of the family was not amused about this linguistic cultural imperialism. :mad: I can't wait to show them a La-Tinx as a DeviantArt characterization!

A lot like you or I, although quite a few of the popular ones on the right-wing end of the political spectrum like Tucker Carlson live in penthouses and get mad money by appealing to nativist sentiment while pretending to be on the working man's side. People on the far left end of the political spectrum generally aren't in Fortune 500 companies or sitting in Congress, so they're at the lower end of the economic bracket.

The 'basement dwellers' aren't really exerting mass control over our military-industrial complex or financial systems, so they're not really as much of an existential threat as their ideological opposites.

Sour grapes make the best whine.

The far left dominates Entertainment and Silicon Valley, and neither group is lacking mansions. Plenty of Fortune 500 companies between LA, SF and NY - all bastions of far left ideology and SJW sickness.

As the far left dominates both culture and education, they most certainly pose a significant threat to America that must be purged if the nation has a future.

Most of them seem to make a comfortable leaving whining about heterosexual and/or white people so give me a fucking break.  Also they have mass control of media, education, tech, have began control of the financial system starting with  Mastercard and Paypal and are working on mass control of politics by cancelling any politician that does not fall into line and lets not forget this guy and the fact he is Jewish has fuck all to do with it.

Yeah, WHATABOUT them right-wingers, and WHATABOUT the single guy from the single major mainstream "right-wing" network bringing up the issues amirite? I don't know why you're bringing up "pretending to be on the working man's side" while discussing WHATABOUTISMS, though, considering that's all that the Intersectional so-call "Left" does. You should feel right at home with him if that's all he does.

Quote from: Libertad;1115459People on the far left end of the political spectrum generally aren't in Fortune 500 companies or sitting in Congress, so they're at the lower end of the economic bracket.

Except for all the people on the so-call "Far Left" that aren't on the lower end of the economic bracket. But then we'd had to define WTF you even mean with these nebulous Left/Right terms and the equally nebulous "Far" qualifier and what objective qualities place one on anyone of those categories before we can properly gauge which people are in what economic bracket. But I'm sure all "right-wing" alt-Reich Neo-Nazis (which are ALL them 'right-wingers', amirite?) are wealthy Fortune 500 congressmen, and all "left-wing" beatific saints are poor working class schmucks living the struggle.

Quote from: Libertad;1115459The 'basement dwellers' aren't really exerting mass control over our military-industrial complex or financial systems, so they're not really as much of an existential threat as their ideological opposites.

I agree. EVERYONE in the so-called "right" is in direct control of the military-industrial complex and NO ONE from the Democratic party has ever pushed for the military-industrial complex's interests and NO mainstream "Left" media outlets has ever cried their eyes out in rage whenever Trump tried to pull out of a conflict (which isn't often but did happen in Syria) or wet their pants in ecstasy at the thought of one more military intervention. It's ALL 100% them "reich-wingers", amirite?

While correct, this is entirely off topic; don't post off topic again.
