This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Latino*
FTFY. Please don't massacre our language.
Estas son las nuevas palabras incorporadas al diccionario por la RAE
If you think latine is an affront to Spanish check out these words accepted into the Spanish dictionary just this year.
You’re not fixing anything you’re just keeping things shitty.
I don’t feign to have the power, only illuminating how weak the arguments against this change are.
Irony so thick you’d need two hands to slice through.
Your entire language is already changing, big data, balconing, cookie, and crack are all accepted words into the official Spanish language. Latine though, that’s one step too far huh?
Please tell me whether the word estudiante is masculine or feminine. How about paz, felicidad or azul?
No the entire language is not gendered but do go on about the language you claim to know but haven’t actually mastered.
Usians is not a term one gives themselves it’s a derogatory term used by others for exclusion and it’s ironic that you’d use one intended as an insult trying to defend against the use of one for inclusivity.
Yet you don’t understand why you have to use la to refer to those words, here’s a hint it’s because they aren’t gendered. If you’re going for the egg on my face look you’re absolutely nailing it. 10/10
What bothers me is your ignorance and your inability to hold a good argument.
Now you're teaching us spanish? Wow. Read and stfu. Here's a post from 9 years ago, made by someone a million times more respectful with our language than you btw.
Descubre qué palabras no tienen género en español: normas de ortografía y gramática
Here’s a better educational resource for you than a message board. Maybe you’ll learn something but likely you’re just as ignorant as the last person.
My guy, estudiante and azul are adjectives, so they take the substantive's gender. The others are femenine, but can be applied to men cuz grammatical👏 gender👏 isn't👏 people's👏 gender👏
Grammatically those words don’t have gender until applied to a subject which means they themselves don’t have gender if talked about in the abstract which means that the entirety of the language is not in fact gendered. Which is my point. The person you’re defending didn’t even have that knowledge.
What makes you think it isn't? It's not English speakers that care about Spanish conjugation.
You don't even know who's talking to you, and it wasn't an idea created by English speakers.
It IS for the fucking RAE to decide though, they're the Royal Acadamy of Spanish.
Sos tan boludo que nisiquiera puedes entender que hasta el RAE te odio, tenes problemas. Puedes leer ,o escribiste tu mensaje por voz a texto?
I'm gonna talk in the way you want all Spanish speakers to do and hopefully you'll see how stupid an idea it is to get rid of gendered words.
El (Elae?) RAE ne hablx per todes nosotres. Nuestrx manere de hablar ne es dictadx per un solx pinche institución real. Cambiande un idiomx tiene que venir por le voluntad colective de tode le gente que lo hablx.
Looks like censored catalán
It ain't just your language, and if a single letter change is "massacring" your language, you're part of the exact reason why queer latine folks innovated the e and also that x y'all had a supernova tier meltdown over.
Inclusivity ain't just gringo shit Moghafil.
Unabashedly be a destructive culture vulture speedrun any%
If your culture cannot survive intermixing with new ideas, it deserves to face the vultures.
I think much the same of how fiercely the French and Quebecoise flip their shit trying to "defend the language from Muslim and Anglo muddying"
Nobody deserves the indignity of being linguistically unpersoned just because recognizing them is apparently white people shit to your parent culture.
Colonialism isn't when being a marginalized culture isn't an excuse to also be bigots because someone in their own personal use of a language decides to be inclusive.
Yikes. Well, at least I know no one will ever take your viewpoint seriously with all the holes and assumptions in it.
Latine looks like a word, Latinx sounds like perfume or cologne
