<p>The San Diego Comic Con took some heat this week for slapping a woke label on a panel featuring Filipino &#8220;Voices In Pop Culture&#8221;: Filipinx.</p>
<p>Much like the often-criticized term <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ive-never-met-a-latinx-van-jones-says-the-way-liberals-talk-is-just-weird/">Latinx</a> — which has been <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/new-poll-shows-only-2-of-hispanics-use-term-latinx-many-find-it-offensive/">widely panned</a> by members of the very community it is used to describe — the convention&#8217;s social media team&#8217;s use of the term Filipinx appeared to be an attempt to be gender-inclusive.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Filipinx Voices in Pop Culture was a fun and educational all Filipinx panel discussing Filipinx influences behind your favorite media!&#8221; @Comic_Con <a href="https://twitter.com/Comic_Con/status/1550269418953125888">tweeted</a>.</p>

<p>But critics were not impressed, and quickly took to Twitter to hit back at Comic Con.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; @nknewsorg&#8217;s social media editor Oliver Jia (@OliverJia1014) <a href="https://twitter.com/OliverJia1014/status/1552020027398037504">commented</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Want to know why white liberals push this &#8216;Latinx&#8217; and &#8216;Filipinx&#8217; s***? It&#8217;s the &#8216;white man&#8217;s burden,'&#8221; @ReviewsPossum <a href="https://twitter.com/ReviewsPossum/status/1552019029048676353">added</a>. &#8220;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 &#8216;enlightened&#8217; sensibilities. It&#8217;s racism.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are NOT going to start using Filipinx. nuh uh. no,&#8221; @Chef033 <a href="https://twitter.com/chef033/status/1552099331968221184">declared</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The gringx are at it again,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/KalebPrime/status/1551971962599182336">came</a> from @KalebPrime.</p>
<p>@RioXVII <a href="https://twitter.com/RioXVII/status/1551948739149021185">added</a>, &#8220;We don’t use Filipinx at all. this isn’t a thing. It’s always been gender neutral, which is why we use Kami = us, Tayo = we, Sila = they. Please stop trying to make it a thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;¿Qué diablos es Filipinx? ¿Una nueva enfermedad venérea?&#8221; Agustin Laje <a href="https://twitter.com/AgustinLaje/status/1552084650570485760">tweeted</a>. (Translation: What the devil is Filipinx? A new venereal disease?)</p>
<p>&#8220;If you call me Filipinx I will personally go to your house and eat you alive,&#8221; @yousoromi <a href="https://twitter.com/yousoromi/status/1552099156868489218">warned</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;How is it that I, a white American dude, who has a moderately basic knowledge of Latin languages know more about said languages — like the fact that &#8216;X&#8217; doesn&#8217;t exist in the vocabulary or that gender neutral terms already exist in said languages — than these people?&#8221; @soulkibble <a href="https://twitter.com/soulkibble/status/1552063361235357696">added</a>.</p>
<p>A number noted that the <a href="https://learningfilipino.com/language/filipino-alphabet/">Filipino language</a> did not include the letter X at all until 1976, when 8 new letters were added to the original Tagalog alphabet — and even then, the letter only appears in words that are derived from foreign origins.</p>
<p>Others pointed out the fact that the word Filipino is already a <a href="https://preen.ph/96642/on-the-filipino-gender-neutral-language-and-our-egalitarian-origin">gender neutral</a> term — as are the language&#8217;s pronouns. Typically, a person is addressed as &#8220;siya&#8221; (&#8220;them&#8221;) and there are no gender-specific words for he/she or him/her.</p>
