Just look at the ratio and read the replies and quotes, LMAO. And most of this rage is coming from woke people and trans people too.

Makes you wonder just what the f[inks] they were thinking. What are the odds whatever social media intern made this still has their position?

How is "womxn" even a thing?

Womxn

This is worse then Latinx

For some reason the term widxwer isn't very popular.

If you think a term other than woman is necessary to be inclusive of trans women then all you're doing is saying you don't think trans women are women.

If you think a term other than woman is necessary to be inclusive of trans women then all you're doing is saying you don't think trans women are women.

The only logic I can see behind it that's consistent at all is this truly bizarre notion that adding an x to any word automatically makes it more woke (including terms like "folx" and "y'xll" that were already gender neutral to begin with.

So I suppose Trump would be a lot less of a problem if he tweeted about how we need a "bxrder wxll" with Mexico or if ICE and CBP engaged in "fxmily sxparation".

Unironically. "Womxn" is a very TERFy term, to say the least.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

How utterly baffling of a word choice.

Xdding x’s instexd of “a” is the “estxblishment liberxl” fxvored wxy of sounding woke without doing xnything. It stxrted with the xforementioned “Latinx”. It’s pexk “I wxnt to sound progressive without xctually doing xny resexrch.

What if Trump issued a statement after the Access Hollywood tape that he actually meant "grxb thxm xy thx pxssy"? Totally would make that remark OK.

This is the content I came for.

From banning "simp" to this, Twitch has made some odd decisions lately.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

lol they deleted the tweet

Here it was for posterity:

March is Womxn's History Month.

Join us in celebrating and supporting all the Womxn creating their own worlds, building their communities, and leading the way on Twitch.

Props to them for at least recognizing their error publicly. That's more than what most do.

Should I make my username Kxisxr Dxvx?

Apparently!

[Morning in Atlas]

Since Welsh has w as a vowel can I make my name sxxx?

That's "womyn". "Womxn" is the opposite intrafeminist extremism.

[John Dule]

It's pronounced "wompksin."

Man, a lot of people on Twitter don't understand linguistics at all with this whole adding x to everything scheme.

I've never cared much for online video content like Twitch or YouTube, aside from one or two commentators and some video essay channels, but Twitch's draconian language policing has always bothered me. Generally speaking, whenever words are banned regardless of context it makes me angry and Twitch does that a lot.

Not that Twitch would actually ban the word "woman" but still, pushing this womxn and Latinx nonsense is stupid and is an insult.
