I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.world
(lemmy.sdf.org)
For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who views dude as androgynous.
I thought I was one of the few.
I find these always interesting to read in the following sentence: 'I fucked a bunch of dudes'.
Do you also believe that this sentence would work for you? (Assuming you are a heterosexual)
Because I always thought I was in the 'Dude is androgynous' camp, but after considering that sentence: I don't think so anymore
It's male-leaning, although it gets used androgynously.
If someone personally didn't want to be called dude, I'd avoid it. Otherwise it's not worth freaking out over.
