HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A group of Hispanic lawmakers in Connecticut has proposed that the state follow Arkansas’ lead and ban the term “Latinx” from official government documents, calling it offensive to Spanish speakers.The word is used as a gender-neutral alternative to “Latino” and “Latina” and is helpful in supporting people who do not identify as either male or female, according to the word’s backers.But state Rep. Geraldo Reyes Jr. of Waterbury, the bill’s chief sponsor and one of five Hispanic Democrats who put their names on the legislation, said Latinx is not a Spanish word but is rather a “woke” term that is offensive to Connecticut’s large Puerto Rican population.“I’m of Puerto Rican descent and I find it offensive,” he said.Last month, Arkansas banned government officials from using Latinx on formal documents as part of several orders issued by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders within hours of her taking office.Reyes said his motivations might be different from Sanders’, but he believes her decision was the right one.The League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest Latino civil rights group in the U.S., announced in 2021 that it would no longer use the term Latinx.“The Spanish language, which is centuries old, defaults to Latino for everybody,” Reyes said. “It’s all-inclusive. They didn’t need to create a word, it already exists.”But Maia Gil’Adi, an assistant professor of “Latinx and Multiethnic Literature” at Boston University, said the word actually dates back to Latino and Latina youth and queer culture in the 1990s, with the “x” being a nod to many people’s indigenous roots.“The word Latino is incredibly exclusionary, both for women and for non-gender conforming people,” she said. “And the term Latinx is really useful because of the way it challenges those conceptions.”David Pharies, a Spanish language professor at the University of Florida, said another movement would replace the “o” and “a” in many Spanish nouns referring to people with an “e.” He said that is something that would be easier for Spanish-speakers to pronounce than the word Latinx.“Latinx was clearly a solution that was proposed outside the Spanish-speaking world,” he said.It’s not clear how often the term Latinx has been used in state documents. A search for the word on the state government’s portal returned 945 hits for documents including press releases, blogs, and reports using the word. Michelle Dumas Keuler, an attorney for the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, told Hearst Connecticut Media that it uses the term in any a complaint it submits about housing, employment or other types of discrimination, when requested.Reyes said he expects the bill to get a hearing before the Democratic-controlled Legislature’s Government Administration and Elections Committee during the current session.
At the very least, Latinas should be given a voice, but silencing women of colour is very "on-brand" for Reeeeesetera.

“One of the big things that hit me running for office is that when you Google my name, Kiwi Farms is one of the first things that shows up,” said Brianna Wu, a video game developer and former congressional candidate who was also a major target of Gamergate. “It’s hard when you have these people who create your reputation in a way that permanently damages it,” she added.
Wu has tried to get Google to delist her Kiwi Farms results. “I’ve had five or six meetings with them,” she told me last spring. “It’s not something that they’ve taken serious action on.”
“I think we need the federal government to step in,” Wu said. “A lot [of the harassment] I got was unquestionably a crime. It’s a crime to tell someone every single day in lurid graphic terms that you’re going to murder them.”
Kiwi Farms victims have had no better luck getting law enforcement to take action. “I’ve talked to the FBI. They’ll all do diddly-squat,” Darling said. “Law enforcement’s view is that you could live a normal life if you were willing to live a normal life, a.k.a. go back into the closet.”When someone mailed Darling feces, she remembered it was a bureaucratic hell to attempt to report it to authorities. “We informed the police. The police said, ‘Call the postmaster general.’ The postmaster general said, ‘Call the FBI.’ The FBI said, ‘Call the Postmaster General.’”Fong-Jones had a similar experience. “I contacted NYPD. I showed them Kiwi Farms threads. I said, ‘I’m afraid someone is going to SWAT me,’ and they were like ‘Get off the internet.’”
It now sits at a 65 with 94 critics after reviews by The Jimquisition (50) and Noisy Pixel (45) were added.
Forspoken is insufferable.
Drive-bys and anything that can be construed as being dismissive of the valid issues at hand will be hit as such, with standard two week bans going out and escalations happening to members with similar priors.
My dad used to tell me games were a waste, then proceed to smoke weed with his friends, gamble and put us in debt.
Naturally; we're on one of the largest gaming forums and the game was always going to attract massive sales. It's the fact they can't resist telling people, and in some cases gushing about it (in a thread that's purposefully avoided mentioning it, on a forum that's banned discussion of it), that makes me laugh. Some nerds gotta feel like they're making a point I guess.

I wasn't actually, I made up my mind over the last few days. And I am no longer posting in this thread so please stop quoting me.
Yeh going from being deeply conflicted to hyping up sales records sure seems legit.

I reported a number of the more egregious "This game looks like it's gonna be the BEST" post. Because those ones are the most Dogwhistle-y to me, someone saying "It's on my list" or "my partner wants it" not as likely imho.Bunch of warnings handed out it seems too, so hopefully going forward we see less of that sort of post.
Can we ban Stephanie from Reee? Seems like he has a hate boner for black women
People can't even say they're buying the game now. Dubs, what are you doing man?
I’m not sure saying ‘I’m buying it pre owned’ is quite the get out of jail free card for buying the game some people think it is. Like, you’re still endorsing rowlings transphobic views by playing it at all.

I like how they're going about this for months and I still don't know what Rowling did. The "worst" thing I could find is that she doesn't consider trans women actual women.

Urgent communication to ERA staff!I have managed to infiltrate some of the chud discords that make it their pathetic lives to troll and antagonize ERA.There is an ongoing movement right now which you need to be aware of.Users there have collectively agreed to use the game called "Like A Dragon" as a euphemism for Hogwarts Legacy. They intend to openly talk about their shared love of this transphobic TERF game by filtering all conversation through plausible deniability.If you have any respect for your trans users, please, you must scrutinize any user who claims to be buying or playing "Like A Dragon." While this policy might affect those who legitimately enjoy that game, we cannot take that chance. (And really, what is being lost...is it worthwhile to glorify the Yakuza in the first place?)Thank you for your consideration.

I saw a couple who did this getting off scot free, but people who explicitly named Hogwarts got hit with a “Discussing Banned Game” warning
None of the above.I only plan to pick up one game this month, I did want to pick up Ishin too but I think I'll have too much on my plate unfortunately.I might pick up a couple of PSVR2 games as well nearer launch.

...Well, at least it should be obvious to everyone else you were trolling now.
She hasn't even said that. She's explicitly said "trans rights are human rights" etc. She just thinks there are issues that affect biological women specifically (she mainly talks about protection from abuse and the provision of single-sex spaces due to her past but has also mentioned other things), and their opinions and experiences are often shouted down in the eagerness to erase the difference between sex and gender. And her refusal to shut up and get back in line makes certain very online people really mad.

The entire thing seems to be about trans women wanting to be acknowleged as biological women. Not some nebulous broad category "women" that's basically meaningless.
Y’know, I think the worst part of the Scottish rapist thing is the hypocrisy.
funny that on top of denying her TERFness, the article still pretends JKR is a good writer
Sincere question: is she a bad one?I only read the first four Potter books and was entertained back then.
yes... there's a great video that goes in depth on how the books are very silly when you read it with a critical eye:[URL unfurl="true" media="youtube:-1iaJWSwUZs"][/URL]+ there are the Fantastical Beasts movies that she wrote by herself and are a fucking trainwreck.
