That’s my default assumption. But if a bunch of Brazilians insisted they weren’t Latino, I would go with that.
Should Mexican soccer fans be chanting putX instead of puto?

Well, if they’re referring to players, it’s really only one gender out there.
No, the players they are chanting it at are men.
Should people get in the habit of using non-gendered language even when it’s obviously one gender?

nobody actually uses latinx I don’t know why that’s still a thing
I don’t think so. Unless they personally have problems switching as needed.

Can’t you read? There’s no valid basis! You think he will just not show up after such a definitive conclusion? I’d like to see that!
They gonna die
I’m happy that for once the kind of people who insist that we all play their endless, idiotic, alienating language games, and accuse you of being cowards if you don’t, are taking a big fat L. I guess “the entire structure of your language is problematic and needs fixing” turned out not to be a winning message, weird.

Latine certainly sounds better to me. Why didn’t that become the dominant one?

What should one do when the truth is a losing message?
Why does it need a vowel at all? Latin (lat-teen)

I realize you’re joking, but it seems like more thought should have gone into this. For example, a good idea would have been to look at what native speakers of Spanish do and come up with something modeled on that. I have no idea what the result would have been, but I doubt it would have been sticking an x on the end. And maybe then it would have been more palatable to the people that it is being used to describe.
