White people decided that using the term latino was sexist and replaced it with latinx.

Dubious choice of X aside, “Latinx-Futurism cyberstone colossus fighter” is a hell of a mouthful. It sounds like a phrase that was was generated randomly and doesn’t quite sound right.
That aside, the concept isn’t too bad. It’s a mythology that doesn’t get too much attention, so it’s nice to see some variety. Norse And Greco-Roman stuff took the limelight for a while, now it’s someone else’s turn.

Yeaaaah, not gonna lie, seeing them use "latinx" makes me wince, lol.
When I first heard that term, I was genuinely confused. Even more so it was during some latin gaming celebration period. But they called it latinx. That was when I was like, "latinx? Wtf when did this replace latin?"
Honestly it's probably just on their marketing/legal teams, which is sad but true. Wanting to use "buzz" or PC words to put themselves in a specific light. Fortunately nothing like that will probably actually touch the game.
That being said, the game looks like it could be pretty cool.

Latinx sounds like the latin version of Malcom X. Or is it pronounced la-tinks?

Gender neutral. Why does that need to be stated?

Didn't even look at the video with a shitty description like that.
We should start "canceling" garbage like this. Keep your shitty politics out of our games. But when you have cancer like reeee, thats hard .

I can overlook a lot, and since I care about gameplay most I watched it lol, but I completely agree with you. I'm glad I got to experience a time when politics wasn't injected into every facet of our lives (sports, gaming, etc.).

I’m wondering if the Latino term was pushed by Nintendo America marketing team.
To be honest, that was my understanding but at the same time, the guy from the company was Mexican.

It probably was, I hope they stay away from that shit as far as possible... It feels weird and uncomfortable and I say this as someone from latinamerica, and not even alone, I don't even know the first person in here that not only doesn't like it, but don't actually DISLIKE it... It's a common sentiment afaik.

What? Why not use the country name when talking about it?

Latinx is basically the forced American meme equivalent of putting a title on an entire society of human beings.
Ends up being more offensive in reality than actually being inclusive. Just the perspective of a Latino who has lived in Latin America.

It's easier for politics campaig when using a single collective term... What's dumb about it is that we reject that shit and yet they keep doing it, as if they'd respect us more than we ourselves do by doing the opposite of what we want.
