They’re adding a word to English

just tell me why I shouldn’t leave.

The same tables where you get laughed at for saying Latinx?

Onex obviousx reasonx Ix canx thinkx ofx myselfx, but otherwise it’s just a weak, neoliberal sort of piece. The author advocates that people should “do better” despite claiming they aren’t, and lament a dearth of games with Latin people in them - despite other cultures not really being represented either. The author

Because then the author doesn’t get to write an article about how Latin/Hispanic representation in games isn’t authentic enough, but continues to dodge the issue of just getting people to make the games. No one’s actually stopping them and there would be a huge market of gamers who would gladly consume anything good

You don’t. You overwrite it and say Latino like anyone with an education who understands that Spanish engenders nouns and adjectives, but not English. It’s just introducing gender to a language that doesn’t use it to make a point about being neutral.

Any linguist will also tell you that close-class words aren’t likely to change either, so it’s largely pointless. The last time English lost a gender was when we stopped using thou. Took a couple hundred years and we still ended up replacing it in roundabout ways.

Because Latino/Latina denote gender Latinx was created

the goal of making our language

The gender neutral term for Latino in English is just Latin. No need to even introduce gender to get upset about from anyone’s side.

Really unfortunate that in order to appreciate a game you have to play it as it was made. :( 

They don’t need many people to buy it. They’ve dug themselves in so much that if they release again the same thing, it cost nothing, and the overheads are basically zero. This is what microtransactions have been aiming for. No work and tons of profit. You don’t even need to be a whale anymore.

Is that an actual quote or is that your interpretation?

They’re pandering to the meta crowd too much instead of making a balanced game for everyone. They have Disney-like visuals yet they built their streaming prestige on obnoxious, toxic players. All their balance just waters down the entire cast. You can’t carve out a niche identity as a player anymore.

I mained Symmetra since beta and I had to check I wasn’t reading one of my old comments. Symmetra was great from the early game. The big fuck up was that her ult was like Mercy’s but worse. They should have found a way to make it compliment Mercy’s ult. Instead they just tried to get their beloved healer’s shit right

Plenty of people ask that question even with the first car, depending. What are you talking about?

They even gave a spoiler alert.

As you argue on your own terms it’s definitely hypocritical, but people don’t accept your terms. That’s a hard lesson to learn I know but it’s common to watch people set things up so perfectly as to exclude other opinions on the matter.

What an embarrassing response for you to have written out IRL.

I would spend that minute trying to imagine all the times it actually happened and sleep easy.
