- Inclusive language and gender identities were the unexpected topic of debate for singer Ricardo Arjona in his last shows.
- The author has taken a stand and those who are his followers divide opinions on social networks.
- In the pandemic, people appeared “parading through the streets who tried to change vowels to words,” he said, referring to inclusive language.
After his shows in Argentina over the weekend, Ricardo Arjona arrived at Paraguaya country in which he summoned more than 25 thousand people.
As in his previous presentations, the Guatemalan took the opportunity to comment on inclusive language and gender identity.
After his words, a strong controversy was generated on social networks between those who are in favor of the singer’s opinions and those who criticize him.
In a long speech, the author reflected on the use of the “e” in its forms of inclusive language and on gender identity (“there are 32 genders,” he said in a mocking tone).
He also questioned the isolation due to the pandemic and everything that was experienced in those months of confinement.
“A lot has happened since we haven’t seen each other [en referencia a los muchos años que pasaron desde que no regresaba a Asunción]. There were many phenomena, including the worst of all: they locked us up for two years, they put face masks on us, they left us there with nothing to do with the phone in hand, with social networks and with too much free time,” Arjona began by expressing.
And then he said: “Then vulgar things began to appear, 32 genres appeared as if the relevant thing was to add genres and not respect people for what they want to be.”
Burlesquely, he said that there were people parading down the street that he tried “from changing vowels to words”, in reference to inclusive language.
And he noted: “I should say hello to ‘everyone’ tonight, for instance. That’s a lot of wasted free time.”
She then added: “Afterwards, people came parading through the streets saying that women had to win the same as men. I thought: why can’t they earn more?

Ricardo Arjona and the men
A few days before, in Buenos Aires, Ricardo Arjona also generated unexpected controversies on social networks when he made a strange speech in defense of the male gender.
In the monologue he gave before singing his hit “Nude”, he said: “We men lost the territory we gained because we have misbehaved. Way back in the 1990s, all that male power went to waste, right? We lost everything. Today, let’s be clear, men are in the last social step. Even after a pet,” he expressed.
I speak of a degradation of “masculine power” and he regretted that one can “say anything about a man that nothing is going to happen.”
“It is time to soften the situation,” he added.
