I think we're beginning to see Mexico flex it's cultural muscles out of the latinesphere.

Not videogames, but latine culture inspired shows like Villainos, El Tigre, and my personal nostalgia bait MUCHA LUCHA!!!!!, definitely foretell Mexico entering the same space of cultural influence in the west as places like Japan with Anime and JRPGs

Is "latine" the new latinx after that got overwhelmingly rejected by actually latino people? If so that seems very presumptuous to try, again, to push something onto a foreign language the speakers do not want.

It also reads very unfortunate, I did a triple take because I kept processing it as latrine.

Well it’s actually Latiné, so not pronounced “la-teen”

It could be joke about Mexico has actually been conquered three different times; and how the language most Mexican speak today is actually a amalgamation of Spanish (from spain), French, English AND their native languages.
