I'm sorry, I'm not kink shaming, but I'm not comfortable with calling you slur names. ;)

No binarie el compañere.

EDIT: la compañere? Shit, back to square one.
Le compañere? Maybe. Articles in Spanish are rigidly male or female, the gender sometimes determines the difference between identical words.

El radio: the metal radium / La radio: the radio (AM, FM, shortwave, etc.)
El cometa: the comet / La cometa: the kite

For real that x there is annoying as hell

wasn't it made up by white liberals

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah then they would claim it was made by latin alphabet people

It's just a thinly veiled try to appropriate our Spanish language

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For those who aren't directly from Spain, the Spanish language is one of colonialism so I really don't care if we want to re-adapt it which most lands that were colonized by the Spanish already do.

Yeah you can't actually tell a whole population how to talk

Contrary to what you guys think, you don't own us

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Huh? No one is telling a whole population how to talk. And I don't even know where your last comment is coming from.

I'm Mexican, and think the argument is silly. Whatever someone prefers to be referred to is how I will refer to them.

The spanish language isn't the heritage of the Central and Southern American people. That was mostly stolen from us by the Spanish.

I don't see most of latam talking in quechua or in warao. Do you want to force them as well to talk in those?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

No one is forcing anyone to speak a certain way. Why are you so hung up on that?

…Latino, Latina, Latinx community…

(Actually can make sense when you include all three cuz enby)

Here in Argentina, we tend to use the "e" ltter at the end. To be fair, only people who use what we call inclusive language use it. It ends up being "no-binarie" which makes more sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"We" as in the minority of people. "Inclusive language" in spanish is one of the dumbest things I've seen in the past few years and it's (thankfully) not very widespread.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

There are dumber things. Javier Milei and it's government, for example. And those who voted for them. It's like voting for Trump. Thankfully, for you, no one forces ypu to speak inclussively.
