Dont ever use the word "latinx" ever again

[Nuclear Kangaroo]

You most likely have good intentions, but that word really angers a lot of people in latin america

Just use "latin" or "latino/a"

Ok thanks bye

Why are we embracing "Latinx", it's dumb

If you are offended by gendered language, ban Spanish entirely.

And better yet, stop trying to change definitions to be meaningless. It's like a trans-woman saying they are "straight" and wants a "straight" male. You have butchered a definition at that point to be meaningless.

There’s more important things in this world to get triggered over.

Ask the organisers of it why they choose to do so: https://latinxgamesfestival.com/

Because spanish lacks any flexibility to incorporate new words?
But seriously. If you are Offended by LatinZ...you are not the one its referring to Its referring to other people who are not you, and used by people who are not you.


There problem solved.

Whenever I see things like this, I personally think it's silly. Only because the fact we keep separating people into smaller and smaller overly specific groups, rather than as a whole. You see more & more "made in (country)" or otherwise based upon race, rather than just advertising games in general.

I am however for things like Indie Game Dev events, as AAA usually doesn't have the customers/consumers in mind so much as making another pile of money.

This'll probably be locked anyway for politics and whatnot.

What on earth are you talking about? They haven’t changed any definitions. They used the name of an event in referring to said event. That’s what you do when referring to things: use their name.

How about the "Whites Only Games Festival"... do you like the sound of that?

That looks good.

Is this the original or the one with x?

Stop calling us "Latinx"

This is getting ridiculous and it's not even a word. I'm a Latino and that's that. Stop using that dumb word to describe us.

It is also not describing "you."

[DenmarkRadar]

You are not answering the question

Dear Steam, you have marked any discussions around the "LatinX Games Festival" with the following answer:

"Originally posted by Crazy Tiger:
Ask the organisers of it why they choose to do so: https://latinxgamesfestival.com/"

That is not an answer to the really legitimate question: Why did you, Steam, choose to feature this event on the Store Front?

And the equally salient questions:
1. Would you, Steam, equally promote the "Whites Only Games Festval" ?
2. Please supply any and all reasons.

I know that you are going to bin these questions, because they are incredibly uncomfortable to you. However the only reasonable interpretation of the "no response" is that Steam must hate white people and desire that white people be genocided.

[Mad Scientist]

It's too political for them to answer or allow to be discussed.
I found this funny:

As I said in the other thread, it's silly that we keep having and separating people into smaller and smaller groups, events/conventions, etc. It should just be games festival or indie game festivals, allowing one to a specific group of people means that all groups of people should be able to have such events.
