It’s not a problem until someone tells you to not refer to them as a dude or a guy. If you continue, you are just an asshole 🤷🏻
Sure, but we’re talking plurals of strangers atm. “Please don’t call me a guy going forward” is a different conversation than “what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong”.
It’s the same picture?
No it really isn’t. One clearly and directly communicates a need. The other response shies away from that and insults without explaining why.
Drag… Supposes, that’s how it would look without applying much empathy. But if someone gets called something and says it’s bad, it must be clear they don’t like it. If they’re angry, that’s a kind of upset. It means they could be hurting. Drag would understand no matter how someone phrased it.
If the other party is 3, then yes. From adults I expect ability to differentiate between stating a need and throwing a tantrum.
Drag is very forgiving when a trans person is upset they’ve been misgendered. Growing up as the wrong gender is traumatic. It can literally give you cPTSD and personality disorders. Being triggered because you feel like you’re back in that situation is a completely understandable response. Drag uses gender neutral “guys”, but acknowledges that it’s a dangerous practice, and if you hurt someone then you need to own it. They don’t owe anyone politeness in that moment. If drag didn’t like that responsibility, drag wouldn’t take risks with other people’s mental health.
Those are rookie numbers
How do I withdraw $150 USDT from my Safepal wallet? I only have a secret phrase. - (hour curious album seven rack verb silent fiscal ketchup what pulp intact)
Which crypto bro told you trying to trick people in to making an account is a good idea?
Did you not reach your internet traffic quota?
People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say “man, whyd you do that” thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.
But like…I think it goes beyond just gender specificity & is also an attempt to address the embedded patriarchy of our culture & language. Those interjection words being male of center as a default is something I wanna unpack, too.🤷🏽
Idk about the rest of it but dude and guys can totally be gender neutral and i hate people that dont get that. Its such a bitchy thing to get mad about
Also queen, “James, you’re such an Excel queen”. I’ve seen this sort of use many times at my workplace. It doesn’t have anything to do with gender or sexual orientation.
It’s obviously more niche than “dude” but I’ve seen it before.
And pussy, right?
Whatever you say, girliepop
I’m a man but I love when people call me babygirl or something like that
Yo, something like that, send nudes

Is this the latest iteration of “tits or GTFO”? I haven’t been keeping up
It was a dad joke and you missed it.
This. I’ve got a fair few trans friends, and we’re all in agreement - unless it’s obvious we’re talking in gendered terms based on context, “dude”, “man”, “bro”, etc are just interjections, not reference to someone’s gender. And, when we are talking in gendered contexts, we tend to be pretty clear about that.
It’s really great that you have friends who are in a good enough place to not worry about that stuff.
Human … man, it’s a just shorter version 😉
Is woman short for womb-man?
Bro y u so wrong
Thats a joke right? Because youre getting downvoted, but you yourself called me bro without knowing my gender so it must be a joke or youre the most oblivious person ive ever seen.
Is jokes
I hope they’re joking, otherwise they need to get back to Facebook with the rest of their ilk.
Would be a classic facebook moment. Gender neutral guy is like singular they/them. “That is not natural bla bla bla, use he/she” and then you ask them “do you know who alex is” and they respond “no, i dont know who they are” which is using singular they or just assume their gender.
Wat?
This is fake and gay. Literally
Yeah, the fact that OP mentioned being at a party was sus. Nobody who posts on 4 Chan is ever invited to parties.
Yep, these are manufactured posts meant to create hate against women from something that never happened.
Yeah, 20 dudes is rookie numbers
Ikr? I’ve fucked more guys than that, and I’m straight
i mean, he is an anon.
I think he was referring to so far that night, right? Right?!?
I definitely use “guy” as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as “dude” as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!
I also follow the Less than Jake linguistic model.
We need a new word. I suggest blob
“Ladydudes” is the way to go.
Please dont ever call me ladydude, dude is fine 😅
Dudes and Dudettes
Ya’ll
I have used y’all in a singular sense, then all of y’all in a plural sense before 🤦
That’s some deep south nonsense right there.
If you must use a redneckism then at least put the apostrophe in the right place.
What yal’l talking 'bout?
You can’t tell me what to do. (But you are still correct…)
Gentlemen and gentle women.
if someone called me that, I would immediately throw up
That’s on you, ladydude
Hey, ladydude !
i was able to make it to the bathroom in time. this time…
Evolution
This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from “guys” to “dudes” when it’s about the former word…
Real and gay
I always “y’all” and I’m not even from the south.
Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing
What about youse?
Yousa bombad, meesa like muy muy!
I hate you with every fiber of my being
I’ve always been fond of “yinz”, despite never having been to Pittsburgh
Yinz welcome to try our chipped ham ‘n’at regardless
“You” used to be that word, but mfs didn’t wanna say “thou” anymore so “you” has to pull double duty now
In Ireland it’s still very common to use ‘ye’ for you plural.
Hear ye, hear ye.
The only two things the South got right were “y’all” and biscuits and gravy.
And chicken and waffles. And BBQ.
Honestly, not actually a fan of y’all, but they have some fantastic food.
Try some chicken and waffles when you get the chance - 5000 calories have never tasted so good.
In parts of the south “y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural.
As a super non-Southern USA guy, anytime I drop a “y’all” into convo, my Southerner friends say I’m not doing it right because I simply substitute all “you” instances with “y’all”.
I guess these friends don’t come from the singular-y’all part of the South.
What?
“Would ya’ll like a soda?” Vs. “Would all ya’ll like a soda?” - one of these means everyone shares one soda, the other means each person gets their own - but I don’t know which is which :O
You misspelled coke. Nobody says “soda” in the south, coke covers that. You have sprite coke, root beer coke, etc.
Y’all is a really good pronoun and I think more people should use it.
As someone from the west coast, I disagree.
