Sorry dude, these are commonly used expressions for like the last 60 years man. Why don't you just enjoy the wide range of words used to communicate between humans friend? The history of our language. Hell ya brother should be read in the voice of Macho Man Randy savage. It adds some flair to the words when the reader understands the context.

We should try to celebrate diversity instead of enforce conformity. Especially when it comes to communicating and language.

enforce conformity

I don't see where I said I would like to enforce anything, please point out exactly what you're referring to.

We should try to celebrate diversity

Yeah, that's what I said too, when I was explaining in a very clear and solutions focused way to someone else the ways they can, you know, actually do that by respecting folks who may feel left out when it's so common to assume everyone is a man behind a computer, which is the opposite of "celebrating diversity".

dude

man

This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.

should

Why don't you just enjoy

We should

Please don't talk to me that way. I'm very happy with my life and don't need to be told what to do or enjoy.

It adds some flair

Nothing wrong with flair.

when the reader understands the context

Yeah that's the problem. Not every reader will immediately understand that context, and if they don't, in this example specifically just for a hypothetical, say because they're gen-z (too young to get the ref) or autistic (more direct communication is better understood) or something, they may think this is just some place where everyone assumes everyone else is a man or a dude, like reddit.

The history of our language.
