Yeah, the fact that OP mentioned being at a party was sus. Nobody who posts on 4 Chan is ever invited to parties.

Dude is also genderless.

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

I worked at a university and I heard women call each other "bro" all the time.

Dude for me is genderless, but it's not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.

Depends on the context.

"Hey Brian, were you making out with a dude last night!?"

"Haha, no, that was Annie, she's a chick, she just has short hair."

Dude(s) and Guy(s) can be gender neutral or male-only. Girl can mean a female child, or it can mean a woman, depending on the context.

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

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.

Y’all gives modern English the second person plural it would otherwise be missing

"You" used to be that word, but mfs didn't wanna say "thou" anymore so "you" has to pull double duty now

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

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"You fuckers" is the correct nomenclature

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (5 children)

"Fuckos" for informal situations

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 🤷🏻

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago (9 children)

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".

Or, just maybe. The person remarking is an asshole. It gives off the same energy as correcting grammar when talking with someone.

At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and "dude" and "guys" can be neutral terms.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.

Cunt is singular, he should have used "cunts".

Shouldn't it have been "How many guys have you fucked?" He didn't say "you dudes."

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.
