forcing

Nobody's forcing shit, you're just too machismo to accept when someone tries to be nice in your language too

Singular they and neo-pronoun panic doesn't suddenly become woke because you're doing it in Spanish Moghafil.

Now you're calling me sexist just because? Btw, I'm finding hilarious the fact you assumed "machismo" is the masculine of "machista", a freaking neutral word. The irony here is gold.

I never said being inclusive is bad, just that there are more appropriate ways to do it without changing every other language into english, ways i use in my day to day btw. Adding random "neutral" e's and x's sounds just moronic to most native speakers who actually know that gramatical gender doesn't have literally anything to do with people's gender.

Spanish doesn't have "singular they", nor "they", and we mostly don't need it. Neo-pronouns sound unnatural. And arguing (in English ffs) with actual native speakers about how bad we speak Spanish is literally the definition of forcing your language and morals on others.

Bruh you're the one who barged into this argument over one letter but sure I'm the one forcing morals and language.

I didn't correct anything, y'all the ones who dogpiled as if that one letter was coming for ya damned kids, y'all are literally having a boogeyman reaction to seeing someone use one letter once.

That's what I meant when I called it Machismo moghafil. Y'all are a literal army of fucking babies who are so fragile that even other people have to conform to your sense of the language or else it's gender colonialism or some spectacularly idiotic shit to justify why other people who aren't you choosing to be nice to the trans and nb folks is somehow shoving something down your throat.

You're like that bastard alcoholic nobody wants to confront at the party that starts throwing a shit fit because someone else decided to abstain for the night so they could be the designated driver for their friends.
