Do you like the term Hispanix?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Man, I really do wonder how the "Latinx" defenders are going to spin this one, as "Hispanic" is already gender-neutral.

But this was really all about gender-neutral language and not just tossing random x's on words, right? Hence why gendered words like "folks" need to be made into "folx".

How is folks even a gendered word?

It's very obviously not. But that didn't start "folx" from becoming a thing.

     Incidentally, the existence of the word "Hispanic" puts a point on how useless "Latinx" is as a term in English, as we already had a gender-neutral term. Makes sense that people would want to warp that one too.

The two do not mean the same thing, although in the US the Venn Diagram of people both apply to is close to a complete overlap, but for example Brazilians are Latino but not Hispanic, and Spaniards are Hispanic but not Latino. Incidentally this is why I've heard some wokesters argue why "Hispanic" isn't OK, because it includes Spain the evil colonizing country. Which of course is something that virtually no Hispanic/Latino people (using the slash here to cover people who fall under both categories) in the US or Latin America care about now.

It’s better than Latinx and Latine which sounds like anti-Hispanic slurs. It’s also better for linguistic reasons, as Hispanic is a English word and as such it’s more a way to play with the English language than bunch of cultural imperialists enforcing their neurotic delusions on another language and culture.

Of course I’m still negative, because I don’t the obsession with the letter x, it seem a call back to the Black struggle, except when it was used then, it was used in a intelligent and cultural significant manner, while now it’s used in a stupid and plagiarizing manner.

The real funny thing about X is it's something that both wokesters and Elon Musk have in common. Elon Musk likes the letter so much that he was willing to reduce formerly known as Twitter's value by billions by replacing one of the most recognizable brands and trademarks out there with arguably the most generic sounding name possible, see how "Brand X" is used as sort of a generic term...and a term that no one except heatcharger uses anyway, even the media will just refer to "X, formerly known as Twitter". Wokesters meanwhile like the letter and think adding it to any word magically makes it more inclusive because reasons.

Both of course are delusional and make no sense.
