Unmarketable Plushie

First of all, this thread is like, a month old? Why even bother responding to me at this time?

Anyway, “dude” is rarely gender neutral. Here are the two main definitions on Wikitionary:

1. (chiefly US, Canada, colloquial) A man, generally a younger man.
2. (colloquial, used in the vocative) A term of address for someone, typically a man, particularly when cautioning them or offering advice.

So yeah, totally a gender neutral word. /sarcastic

And it’s pretty obvious where the dogwhistle is, calling someone with she/her pronouns clearly listed a “dude” in a disparaging tone. Going “oh but it’s a gender neutral term” has the exact same level of insufferable, bad-faith smugness as an edgy 14-year old claiming that the swastikas they’re scrawling on their desk are actually Buddhist symbols.

Do custom names not show in Memmy/Wefwef? It was part of her display name.

That’s a pretty nice self portrait there, I think you have a potential career as an artist

I always say that the second a liberal is criticised for being insensitive that they start sounding like a boomer Republican arguing on Facebook.

Thank you for proving that to the entire thread here.

“Anyone who disagrees with me is being paid by China or Russia”

lol. lmao, even.

No, we think you’re right wing transphobes because you throw us under the bus the second that caring about us is no longer trendy

Generally considering that “dude” is a somewhat masculine word, so using it to refer to someone with she/her pronouns in her username (implying that she doesn’t want to be referred to with male terms) without knowing if they’re okay with that word just makes you look like a piece of shit.

“Dude” can be gender neutral but given the context of it in your response it really fucking looks like a microaggression against her for being trans

If you’re on Android, I recommend Liftoff. Boost for Lemmy is also probably going to be pretty good when it releases, as the developer’s Reddit app was phenomenal.
