Latinx is a gender-neutral form of Latina/Latino. Because Griffin's character is not gender neutral, he could just be saying latino, but oh well.

Dolash posted:I was unfamiliar with the term. Is Latin ambiguous? I briefly considered hispanic might be considered too nationality-specific since not everyone in central and southern America is connected to Spain, but surely that'd be even stranger for Latin? It's an alternative to Latino/Latina since both aren't gender-neutral. It's also been in use for several years now at least.

also from talking to a lot of activists in that community there's a feeling among some that 'Latin' is a lot like 'Oriental', like you talk about 'Latin food' and all but it's a bit dehumanizing to use the same general 'other' terms with imperialist trappings to talk about humans.

This is a genuine question from a place of ignorance: is there an established delineation between someone who would be considered Latin-American and someone who would be considered Hispanic? I've heard them used interchangeably, but the fact that Hispanic apparently isn't an accurate gender-neural alternative to Latina/Latino makes me think that's wrong.

Also an ignorant person here but I believe that Hispanic connotes a Spanish descent, which is not inclusive of the indigenous people from Central and South America.

It's not super well-defined, but that's about the gist. And Latinx is for trans and non-binary people. There's Latin@ that I don't think took off, and is really shouting into the wind against centuries of Spanish lingual pride to make the word gender neutral, which I think is kind of problematic in its own way.

None of it matters because race is a social construct. Being Latinx doesn’t even get you an extra feat or 60 ft dark vision or anything.

I really wish the gender-neutral term was Latiné. It's just better, I'm sorry. Just because you're trying to make a neutral term doesn't mean you have to throw Xes or internet symbols in there. Embrace the culture.

He should have just said "My character is Jimmy Smits from the West Wing" cause that's what he was going for. And I'm pretty sure Jimmy Smits is at least 1/4 werewolf.

JT Jag posted:I guess it fits specifically in the context of an acronym for Latin peoples in the LGBT communities? But it's sort of been adopted, especially by the internet savvy and millennials, as the go-to gender-neutral term in general, and I don't really like it for that. ...no, it was picked by the LGBT Latinx community as a gender-neutral term in general and not co-opted at all. Also I don't know if you know what an acronym is.

Latinx is for non-binary, not specifically gender neutral. Again it's just a less correct term for Griffin to use since he's clearly gendered his character; it's like if he kept using "they" interchangeably with "he". Not incorrect, just weird.

I know it's a super minor nitpick thing and you guys are probably going to give me poo poo, but I almost laughed at how silly Travis' exposition was to introduce his arc. Yes buddy, it's a dry riverbed. There's no water. There used to be, and now there's not. It dried up. I get it. That said I've got my hopes that this is the best arc and the exposition was something Griffin forced him to do.

Don't forget that Travis was the only person to give his character a long backstory before Balance even started. Not because Griffin told him to, or because that's what the fans wanted or something, but because that's just the type of person he is. This is how Travis was always going to GM, whether Balance happened or not.
