"what is up, my mammals?"

[-] hexabs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why would she ask "How many dudes have you fucked?" to attack his position??

It seems like a completely different topic altogether. I call fake.

Oh and the gay part is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 28 points 1 day ago

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

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 23 points 1 day ago

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

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's because the joke story was supposed to be " hey dudes" That way the woman asks "how many dudes have you fucked" he can then go into the Grindr gotcha

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Nobody says hey dudes anymore though

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I don't recall ever hearing someone say that in reference to a group that has both males and females.

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago

"You fuckers" is the correct nomenclature

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 16 points 2 days ago

"Fuckos" for informal situations

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.

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 27 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Critical_Thinker@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

I'm so fucking sick of the neg culture that pretends to be politically correct. There's malicious sexism and loads of assholes out there for sure but some feel emboldened to attack anyone they construe to be saying what they think is wrong regardless of context.

Someone will always be offended by absolutely fucking everything. They can go fuck themselves.

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

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

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.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

me@lemmy~$ man

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.

Dude is also genderless.

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

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 72 points 2 days ago

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

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 🤷🏻

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 2 days ago

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".

I view "guys" and "dudes" as gender neutral but when its directed towards me i start feeling like shit

[-] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Man…

Thomas has never seen such bs before

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 2 days ago

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...

I always "y'all" and I'm not even from the south.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 67 points 2 days ago

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