On online platforms like Twitter and YouTube, they spoke of feeling "represented" and "seen," which was often coded and framed by cultural markers as well as their socioeconomic status, race, and sexuality. Yet, traditionally, working-class Latinx images like the ones found in Gentefied have been heavily criticized and dismissed. This article seeks to explore the responses and creation of Latinx working-class images that have long been deemed undesirable. Specifically, we examine the Latinx reception of Gentefied, the show's narrative and text, and the creators' production practices, all of which are connected by working-class subjectivity and marginal perspectives. We contend that these three interconnected parts indicate a new form of evaluating and creating Latinx representation that is from the margins, which we will be calling Marginal Latinidades. This framework and lens are informed, guided, and animated by the media interpretations of Latinxs with multiple marginal identities, and was then used to examine Gentefied and its production.
