https://www.dailywire.com/news/stop-using-these-made-up-words-comic-con-slaps-woke-term-on-filipino-panel-gets-torched?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro&fbclid=IwAR3uTf13Z3FonnvP-5O_WuiFq0j2TPHThPCdHBCbDbl0Uc46oxSO4eOyYHU

The San Diego Comic Con took some heat this week for slapping a woke label on a panel featuring Filipino “Voices In Pop Culture”: Filipinx.

Much like the often-criticized term Latinx — which has been widely panned by members of the very community it is used to describe — the convention’s social media team’s use of the term Filipinx appeared to be an attempt to be gender-inclusive.

But critics were not impressed, and quickly took to Twitter to hit back at Comic Con.

“Stop using these made-up words to score woke virtue signaling points from people who never asked you to speak for them in the first place,” @nknewsorg’s social media editor Oliver Jia (@OliverJia1014) commented.

“Want to know why white liberals push this ‘Latinx’ and ‘Filipinx’ s***? It’s the ‘white man’s burden,'” @ReviewsPossum added. “They see you as a savage and feel the need to civilize you, so they colonize your language to make it more appealing to their own ‘enlightened’ sensibilities. It’s racism.”

Latinx was originally formed in the early aughts as a word for those of Latin American descent who do not identify as being of the male or female gender or who simply don't want to be identified by gender.

some people in the US prefer the term Filipinx, replacing the final letter (which traditionally determines gender) with an ‘x.’ The ‘x’ is meant to include people of all genders—male, female, gender non-binary/genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, and all other identities that are traditionally excluded.
