"I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, cause we're all dudes"
Yeah i think of this all the time its stuck in my head permanently. But also, its very easy to just respect anyone not wanting to be called dude.
Way to (carbon) date yourself, it's "bruh" for the fellow kids now 🧑🦳
"Chat"
As someone who has spent half their life in California, this is accurate.
What I'm getting out of this conversation is that language requires context. Dude can be used gender neutral, but it depends on context and people's beliefs. When used as a greeting it's gender neutral, but there are cases where it's not.
What's mine say..?
Sweet!
DooooooDUH.
And theeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?
Ah, i was gonna say "brown."
Dude is fairly gendered. "mate" on the other hand...
Dude...duder...or duderino, if your not into the whole brevity thing
What??! There’s no “dudette”? 😱 My whole life has been a lie.
Dudette is a subtype of dude not a distinct category.
Dudette is a little dude. Like how diskette is a small floppy disk.
So a dudette is a small floppy...?
When I'm drunk, we're all dude.
Meh, I prefer buddy, friend(s), folks, comrade(s) or asshat(s) depending on the context.
Dude is universal no matter the context though. Also, if you only have dude saved in your volcabulary it frees up space in your brain for more facts. Such as, for every snake there is one snake penis.
The final part of your comment has me questioning the possibility of female incel snakes.
Worse actually. Males have two penises, so the incels are twice as incelly.
I ain't your buddy pal
I ain't your pal, friend!
I will believe this when straight men say they "fucked a hot dude last night". Until then you are fooling yourself and just not wanting to adjust your behavior.
And bro too. In gamer world, we're all bros.
'sup, scro?
I thought it was dudes and dudettes.
Didette never really took off and just needlessly gendered dude. I much prefer gender neutral dude.
So, "dudette" has fallen into the waste bin of history, eh?
Similarly to "female doctor" or many other pointlessly-gendered terms that have been folded into one term to avoid othering women, "dudette" really just creates a meaningless separation and keeps us from all being dudes.
Yeah, I agree it's probably for the best in the end - just thought it was an amusing term when not used to objectify, but just to acknowledge the presence (and perhaps perspectives) of "the fairer sex" (another much more dated term).
True
Everybody here likes fuckin dudes

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
