Hi! A person from latinoamerica here, while it is true that a lot of people are conservative, the reason so many reject 'Latinx' or 'Latine' is because it has an English origin, and a lot see it as an English-imposed thing or a way to police the language, which of course doesn't sit right with most. Like you said, it's an online thing, though it's almost exclusively used by English-speaking people or the ones who consider themselves Latino (relatives) while not living here. Nonbinary people might prefer to use 'Latine', but outside of that, it is pretty much nonexistent outside of the internet.
yes this lol! i just realised rereading my comment i meant to say “and” rather than “as”. that’s annoying. i dont think a lot of people would understand or like the actual reason that it doesnt sound right or work in the language because i personally dont really like it. and i think it would be very easy for someone to label the language or even me as homophobic/transphobic in some way bc to a non speaker it wouldn’t make sense for them. i just didnt want my own opinions to bleed through and tried to be as unbiased as possible!
