    The e is really used (at least in Mexico) The @ was used in my times (millennial) but it was mostly to avoid writing twice: niños y niñas -> niñ@s but the e really incorporates a neutral plural

    x I’ve only seen it from corporations and white people

      Might have seen more of it if y’all stopped being allies with the bigots who terrorized the latine folks that came up with it into silence.

      Seriously, the “inclusivity is white people shit” is so strong even queer PoC have internalized it to the point of trying to justify the absolute vitriol a single letter got that “just happened” to be one queer latine folks came up with to represent themselves.
