    I wanted to play a game where I’m going to say a word, and you guys are going to tell me if it is alive, dying or dead. Sounds great. Let’s do it. OK, “problematic.” Dead. Hmm, should die. Should die. But it’s around. You know what I’m saying. It’s like it’s around, but it should die. “Triggered.” That one’s going to come back. It’s going to come back, but it’s dead. I still see quite a bit of that, especially on the internet, which is really disturbing because it’s like, “trigger warning.” And then here’s a video of some horrifically violent thing. It’s like the word does not work. It’s why I love it. I’m just like, thank you for triggering me with the trigger. Yes, it’s like the reaction came seconds before, so I love it. ”Microaggression.” Dead. Dead. OK, “safe space.” Dead. Dead. “Folx” with an X. Dead. Never alive. I mean, that one was, I mean, talk about a ridiculous like, yeah, that really makes me so mad, because I know people who have dutifully and earnestly used that, and it’s like, oh, my gosh. What about “Latinx”? I mean, I think that one’s difficult because I think for a lot of Latin people or Latin queer people, it feels good. And for some of them, it actually doesn’t. And they prefer and I think it can sometimes feel like a Western intervention onto them. I think that one’s complicated. I think it should still be — like I think people use it. It can live if it wants to? Yes. OK, this is the one that will get me canceled. I hate “Latinx,” and it’s very — and I talk about this a lot with immigrant friends. It’s very much like a diaspora war thing for me where I was, it’s interesting that you need a word to signal, where you are from. So I don’t like it. I would say most of the people that I know don’t like it, either.
