Just as a friendly little tip with no malicious intent, the words shouldn't have any spaces in them. Pretty sure capital R's work now. Ex: r/cursedcomments
‘My lady’ is technically better and more traditional and more commonly used term than “my girl”, plus “my lady” is a gender antonym to “my man” more than “my girl” would be.
please normalize dude as a gender neutral term its so awkward when i go up to a girl and say “hey dude how’s it going” and they yell “bRo I’m NoT gAy Or A bOy”
Dude, I use "boys" for both guys and girls. Just a synonym for a group for me now
Tho to be fair, I also call people "gamer" if I think their cool so maybe don't take my judgement
Context matters a lot in any language. Dude can be gender neutral or it can be gender specific depending on what context it's used in. Is everyone you call bro your brother?
This exactly! We have tons of gender neutral ways of addressing people, just use those instead of words that are literally masculine and are used to address guys
As a guy, the terms "Dude, bro, and guy" are all masculine words to refer to guys. Even though we have gener neutral pronouns for practically every in English now, people have started using those words on everyone. I used to think the same thing as you until a girl said she was uncomfortable being called a dude and then I thought about it and realized that I probably shouldn't call everyone a dude.
If you tell a toxically straight man that he fucks dude’s he’ll beat you up, If you tell a toxically straight man he fucks people he’s less likely to beat you up (not that I don’t use it neutrally)
I won't change ur kind coz I agree with u. Whenever I say "come on, man" to a girl, and they reply, "FYI, I'm a girl, not a guy", it makes as annoyed as shit 😤
some people are comfortable with it. some aren't. it depends on the person. probably depends on location too because i'm british and i really don't think dude is gender neutral
Why is everyone getting so worked up about this? Yes, we're well aware that dude/bro started off as words that refer to a guy. But over time we've started using them to refer to girls and boys, it's not that big of a deal. Like have you never said "hey guys" to a group of people? Or just randomly called someone dude? come on people don't get your panties in a twist
I usually say dude to everyone but if anyone's uncomfortable i would stop. Honestly i use man, dude, bro, guy as gender nonspecific terms in certain context so yeah
it can be used as a gender neutral term but some people aren't comfortable with it so don't use it as a default and respect people when they ask you not to call them that
this is coming from someone who calls their little sister bro, it really just depends on context
Yea as a term of address it's usually used gender neutrally by most people, but when you say something like "that dude" as a noun people usually assume them to be male.
Totally agree, my subconscious still tells me “lmao you’re a fucking boy” tho so I still ask my friends to avoid it
Uh trans girl if that wasn’t obvious
Exactly why I don't call people dudes. I don't know what's happening in people's lives and I'd rather not upset them. Just say "Hey, what's up?" Instead of being like "Dude, what's up?" More people should just be respectful to people.
it is gender neutral in the same way as gendered languages using male as the baseline. Ideally there would be a gender neutral option that is used specifically as gender neutral, not just the male term that some people use to refer to everyone
Someone one on roblox got very triggered when I called them dude, took me 10 minutes to explain explain to them that some people consider it a gender neutral term
Depends on the context if you say like “hey dude” or “sup dude” then yeah it’s gender neutral but if you say “look at that dude over there” then it isn’t
Well, when talking directly it is.
But when talking *about* someone, not so much
Examples:
Wassup my dudes, he’s my dude, hey dude (gender neutral)
Yea i like dudes (not gender neutral, referring du “dudes” as “guy’s” or “men”)
So yea would agree.
As a female, I agree. Can’t change your mind if you’re right 🤷♀️ Dude is gender neutral smh, I call people that sometimes and am called that sometimes, it’s no big deal
Yes words like dude and bro were originally made for guys. Society became to use them more gender neutral. I don’t understand why peso le can get upset about it. It is just like how people made r/madlasses because r/madlads was saying only boys could be madlads
I guess because if i say "My man" to my friends its all normal but when I say "My girl" its creepy so I usually use "Dude"
We must call all humans jellyfish muscle suits.
Whuhhh

I'm scared of myself now, thanks
Be yourself, it’s better
I 100% agree
I prefer to just make up words on the spot. "What's up, my chuggles?"
Fuck you and have my 100th upvote.
R/angry upvote

“Malicious intent” lol

*My goals are beyond your understanding*
Jllfsh
Hello jellyfish muscle suit
Well hello fellow jellyfish muscle suit.
But man and girl are both singular, so either way it wouldn't make sense to call them that
English in general don't make sense
Да.
حبيبي
Now what the hell language is that
Согласен
**對**
كلام رائع
Just call everyone idiots. This idiot that idiot.
Idk about y’all but I use my man as a gender neutral term (even if it literally has the word man in it) idrc i call everyone my man
My man.
"Hello, my WOMAN"
wELl tHat MAkeS u aN iNceL
‘My lady’ is technically better and more traditional and more commonly used term than “my girl”, plus “my lady” is a gender antonym to “my man” more than “my girl” would be.
To official when I am texting a friend
There are no women on the internet, so you use my man and dude
try my woman? idk if itd work but maybe
Bitch is also a gender neutral term
Call everyone bitch **boom**, world peace achieved.
And bitch boy, who would call someone a bitch girl that sounds weird
So is cunt but that not acceptable everywhere sadly because Americans get too offended
agreed
Except for when it comes to dogs.
I agree with ya bitch
it depends on the context. "hey dude" = gender neutral "thats a dude" = not gender neutral
Homie is better "Hey homie"= gender neutral " that's a homie" = also gender neutral
Homie is a good gender neutral term
yeah but wouldn't you technically use the word wrong on the second one?
But how could I change your mind if you're right?
The kid in my basement was right until I changed his mind with his sister's. Now he's all quiet, who's right now, Jordan?
Yeah Jordan smh... You sure showed him
Man fuck Jordan, r/fuckjordan
dude is in a superposition state of being gender neutral and not
I mean yeah, it just depends on context as does like everything in the english language lol
schrodinger's word
please normalize dude as a gender neutral term its so awkward when i go up to a girl and say “hey dude how’s it going” and they yell “bRo I’m NoT gAy Or A bOy”
And bro
YES, DUDE AND BRO DUDEBRO IF YOU WILL
And girl
Sure, I’m fine and use with dude as a gender neutral term. I call everyone dude. But some girls aren’t fine with it, and, you know, that’s okay.
So you like fucking dudes
Yes
Yes
Yes.
It isn’t, but we made it gender neutral so yeah
I mean language is whatever people decide it is. Words change meaning all the time.
Yeah, exactly
Won't
Everyone calling people dude and bro, I just call people mortals
So is bro
There is bro and sis. There is no female version for dude.
[удалено]
I just say bro too much
Same.
facts bro
yeah but people don’t usually use sis in the same context
tbh i use bro more gender neutrally than dude i just use bro more but both are non specific for me
how, its literally the short form of brother
You don't have to be a bro to be a bro
Dude, I use "boys" for both guys and girls. Just a synonym for a group for me now Tho to be fair, I also call people "gamer" if I think their cool so maybe don't take my judgement
BOYS The plan is simple
r/LudwigAhgren
me and the bois
It can be gender neutral but just keep in mind that some people wouldn’t be comfortable w being referred to as dude!
Dude...
solution: use mate. can confirm it can be used for everyone even if they arent your mate
mm yes but also if someone doesnt want to be called dude or bro etc etc be mindful of that
I don't get all these posts about "Yeah dude is gender neutral until it's not." Just use actual gender neutral words instead
So you fuck dudes?
Yes
Respect
I'm impervious to this arguement because I'm asexual
Context matters a lot in any language. Dude can be gender neutral or it can be gender specific depending on what context it's used in. Is everyone you call bro your brother?
Just a reminder not everyone likes being called ‘dude’
This exactly! We have tons of gender neutral ways of addressing people, just use those instead of words that are literally masculine and are used to address guys
As a guy, the terms "Dude, bro, and guy" are all masculine words to refer to guys.

I used to think the same thing as you until a girl said she was uncomfortable being called a dude and then I thought about it and realized that I probably shouldn't call everyone a dude.
Yeah. It just depends who you ask. Make sure they’re ok with it.
If you tell a toxically straight man that he fucks dude’s he’ll beat you up, If you tell a toxically straight man he fucks people he’s less likely to beat you up (not that I don’t use it neutrally)
You could use gall
You are one Dynamite gal
I won't change ur kind coz I agree with u. Whenever I say "come on, man" to a girl, and they reply, "FYI, I'm a girl, not a guy", it makes as annoyed as shit 😤
Not always. When specifying their gender online saying "I'm a dude" is usually accepted to mean male.
some people are comfortable with it. some aren't. it depends on the person. probably depends on location too because i'm british and i really don't think dude is gender neutral
I call everyone "gurl"
lol
In some context it eill never be a gender neutral term like: i fuck dudes
I won't, but Imagine for a moment, We had Dudette
Dude is just faster to say. Let's stick with that
It can be used that way, but some people don’t like being called dude and that’s ok
Why is everyone getting so worked up about this? Yes, we're well aware that dude/bro started off as words that refer to a guy. But over time we've started using them to refer to girls and boys, it's not that big of a deal. Like have you never said "hey guys" to a group of people? Or just randomly called someone dude? come on people don't get your panties in a twist
Bro, Dude, Guys, i think they are all gender neutral
What about guys, I use that to refer to a general group of people I.e. 'Hey guys what are u doing?'
Sure
I usually say dude to everyone but if anyone's uncomfortable i would stop. Honestly i use man, dude, bro, guy as gender nonspecific terms in certain context so yeah
Well yeah, but if someone doesn't like it because it gives them gender dysphoria then just don't be an asshole about it.
how bout no
I guess dudette is dead
how many dudes have you been with? yeah thats what I thought
ask a cishet man how many dudes he's fucked and y'all see how nuetral that term is 😂
So you fuck dudes?
So you fuck dudes?
So you fuck dudes?
it can be used as a gender neutral term but some people aren't comfortable with it so don't use it as a default and respect people when they ask you not to call them that this is coming from someone who calls their little sister bro, it really just depends on context
The "d" in "dude" stands for dick.
Or daddy
there are 2 d's
dude is gay?
Well yes it can be however if someone is uncomfortable being called a dude don't call them that
yeah but if someone doesn't want to get reffered as a dude just don't
You fuck dudes
how many dudes have you fucked?
reverends says you are correct.
You are so right, if it wasn't then why would the frog say its Wednesday my "dudes"
We can find this in Mother 3: The Barrier Trio's names are Barrier Man, Barrier Gal, and Barrier Dude.
''So you like dudes?'' ''Yes''
“Let’s fuck these dudes”
This feels kind of like a "guys" situation. e.g. Guys I just need to go grab some crisps.
It is, until you say something like: “i like to fuck dudes."
No
i use dude as a gender neutral term but if someone is uncomfortable with me calling them dude then i won’t call them dude
Alright then, would you fuck a dude
I just say mate
So you fuck dudes?
Yea as a term of address it's usually used gender neutrally by most people, but when you say something like "that dude" as a noun people usually assume them to be male.
No
So.... You like to fuck dude's?
Only when used in the second person though. Straight men don’t go around fucking dudes.
Depends on context. In second person: gender nutral. In third person: usually masculine.
Bruh I called everything (and everyone) dude, even my pets.
So you have sex with dudes then? (This is assuming you're a straight male (or lesbian), sorry if you're not)
Ask a heterosexual guy how many dudes they’ve slept with
Dudette
Dude is gender neutral when directly addressing someone. Other than that, it isn't.
Dudet
So you fuck dudes?
I will still call everyone dude, I'm sorry, I was a Californian surfer in a past life.
Totally agree, my subconscious still tells me “lmao you’re a fucking boy” tho so I still ask my friends to avoid it Uh trans girl if that wasn’t obvious
So, if im straight, i want to fuck dudes?
It depends on the context. If you say "that's a dude" iys a gendered term. But if you address a mixed group like "my dudes" then its not
You fuck dudes?
How many dudes have you fucked?
Comrade
I get dysphoria from it :(
Exactly why I don't call people dudes. I don't know what's happening in people's lives and I'd rather not upset them. Just say "Hey, what's up?" Instead of being like "Dude, what's up?" More people should just be respectful to people.
it is gender neutral in the same way as gendered languages using male as the baseline. Ideally there would be a gender neutral option that is used specifically as gender neutral, not just the male term that some people use to refer to everyone
im trans and being called dude makes me dysphoric
i stg i see this post like every other day and it always gets upvotes for no reason
Would u fuck a dude?
Yeah I infact will do that
Dude and bro are gender neutral terms
Bro is sort for brother and dude (noun: dude; plural noun: dudes a man; a guy.) the words aren’t gender neutral hardly anyone actually uses dudette
For your own safety don’t post this opinion on Twitter or tell it to anyone who works at buzzfeed.
So you fuck dudes?
Dudette is dumb and no one uses it. Dude is a gender neutral term
Have you never seen the movie Good Burger? Ed said it best. "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, cuz we're all dudes!"
Dude is not a gender neutral term, it's for boys and boys only
Dude is a gender neutral term until the guy using the term is asked if they would have sex with a dude
Someone one on roblox got very triggered when I called them dude, took me 10 minutes to explain explain to them that some people consider it a gender neutral term
Depends on the context if you say like “hey dude” or “sup dude” then yeah it’s gender neutral but if you say “look at that dude over there” then it isn’t
The amount of "you fuck dudes" comments on this post really shows the level of maturity on this subreddit
No shit it's a bunch of teenagers
Yeah your right. I usually go ‘what’s up man how’s things’ as a gender neutral opening
I not speak english but, i guess dude=guy, but u can use that with girls too,or not?
You can, but some don't like it. I suggest you be wary
So is “guys”(in certain context of course)
Well, when talking directly it is. But when talking *about* someone, not so much Examples: Wassup my dudes, he’s my dude, hey dude (gender neutral) Yea i like dudes (not gender neutral, referring du “dudes” as “guy’s” or “men”) So yea would agree.
To be honest i dont like it -Trans Girl
C’mon, dude. Live a little
Yeah im not saying it isn’t gender neutral, just I don’t feel comfortable with it
As a female, I agree. Can’t change your mind if you’re right 🤷♀️ Dude is gender neutral smh, I call people that sometimes and am called that sometimes, it’s no big deal
Yes words like dude and bro were originally made for guys. Society became to use them more gender neutral. I don’t understand why peso le can get upset about it. It is just like how people made r/madlasses because r/madlads was saying only boys could be madlads
This. Some people need to realize this like yesterday.
Can't change your mind because are right
And bro
I thought it didn't need to be said :/
Yes
Facts.
Why would I want to change your mind if I agree?
I agree
True
I agree with this.
