San Diego Comic-Con's Tweet Draws Criticism For Using "Filipinx" Term
Alright im gonna clarify
I am sincerely sorry for the innocent Filipino-Americans that are caught up with my generalization. I have no excuse for this, i am sorry.
What im not sorry for is the people who unironically use "Filipinx"

San Diego Comic-Con‘s social media handlers received criticism online after their use of the term “Filipinx” in their post. The post shared a group photo that showed guests for its program “Filipinx Voices in Pop Culture.”
I'm so tired of foreigners deciding which of our terms are gender-neutral.
For fucks sake, for the love of god, UTANG NA LOOB, don't ever call us Filipinx. No one uses that. We do not recognize that term.
The term "Filipino" is already gender-neutral.

It’s embarrassing and irritating how these people who keep shoving “Filipinx” down our throats clearly know NOTHING about our language. Filipino is ALREADY a gender neutral term and the letter x isn’t even in our alphabet. Colonizers keep colonizing, I guess. https://t.co/56TlyenqYB

filipinx trending again as if the superior gender neutral word doesn't already exist in the form of 'mamser'
