Wouldn't suggest otherwise, my only curiosity outside of a broader understanding is in how this is viewed within the native non-binary communities. The author seems to have a lot of people assuming she's white though so it's worth correcting, especially as it seems that a part of the concern is in it's use in the US and exporting from there.
I do that a lot, using English words wholesale within Spanish or stopping to find the Spanish word equivalent of an English phrase. As a Mexican living in a Mexico-US border city, I learnt Spanish and English at mostly the same time, consuming media of both languages, though that trends more English nowadays.
It's funny because nobody is dismissing her points, but raising another point about the language is used is bad and an attack somehow.
Fuck off. Seriously. Fucking fuck off with this disingenuous bullshit that deflects an actual issue.
People are giving other options to include everyone without using latinX. Trying to paint the discussion as "people not wanting to include non-binary people" is disingenuous.
I'm not referring to the author who I'm well aware of not being white. She didn't invent the term nor is she saying I have to use it either. That's her choice and the Latino community at large is free to make theirs, preferably without the nosing in by those outside of it trying to correct our language for us. That's not even taking into account how vast and diverse the Latino community even is. We're not monolithic, and if some want to be referred to as Latinx I personally don't care, but most of us don't and that's OK too.
It's not cause I'm not implying people are overlooking non-binary people on purpose, rather people are not considering them in this picture.
When bilingual characters throw in spanish words isn't that just code switching? That's a well researched phenomenon in linguistics.
When Jackie in Cyberpunk says something in spanish it seems implied to me that he assumes the player character knows what he's saying in either language
I can see though that it gets annoying when this is the standard representation
Latín non-binaries refer themselves as their, they, elle, nosotres, latinx. non binary latines should not have to mention their roots and tie them to their gender identity. We are people just like you.
I havent seen a single brazilian in media that isnt "Spanish". Ever.
The x I've seen people use in text language is not non-binary, but a letter you can change between A and O if you don't know if the person you're talking to is a man or a womna, or if you're talking to multiple people that include men and women, same as using an @. And again, it's never in any kind of formal conversation.
Yeah tired old stereotypes are incredibly annoying. Not as serious but both protagonists are blonde in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Well of course they are, they're scandinavians, they have to be blonde right?
Not all peoples of Latin America are Hispanic or Spanish speaking.
I've seen it used for non-binary and I've seen it used for people who don't want to use "Latino".
Yeah especially in the bronx and places in nj, spanglish was pretty common.
Basically. Getting stereotypical representation is better than nothing, but that doesnt mean the representation is good.
It was so bad and it wasn't subtitled so at times I had a hard time understanding it.
The entire casting of Esposito as a chilean was terrible (unlike his great casting as a scary villain), since his spanish is awful and chileans have a pretty defined accent. It was only made worse in the flashback scene where his chilean friend (who had anything but a chilean accent) was murdered, showing that the BB directors had no intention at all to correctly represent the chilean culture beyond naming a chilean city and a chilean dish in some scenes.
I'm just talking from my experience as a Chilean, but at least here nobody uses the X as gender neutral, just as a letter you replace for an A or an O when you read it.
I think X is primarily used in America, but I do appreciate your view as a Chilean.
You can immediately tell the term was made up in the US cause romance languages would never use X like that.
That's funny to me as a Latino who's always had an interest in Norse history and mythology as everything I've been exposed to had made me think the opposite with blonder Nordic peoples coming from the northern countries like Sweden and Iceland and more brunette peoples coming from Denmark and central Europe. All my Swedish and Finnish friends being blonde probably helped insert that cognitive bias in my mind too. I'm glad your comment allowed me to take a second to reflect on an unknown bias I had that was probably created by the media a large that I didn't even realize had occurred in my head.
