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.

Dude is gender neutral
Not to everyone, and that's cool, until someone tells you not to call them dude anymore. Then your an asshole if you try to argue the gender neutrality of the term dude. Such as telling someone to get over it.
I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes, yea!
How many dudes have you fucked?
I call my wife dude all the time so at least one.
Only the homies.
I lost count
So is bitch, but if you ask someone to stop calling you bitch and they tell you to get over it, then they're assholes.
That's because bitch is an insult
Insult is very subjective. I have friends that call me and I call bitch all the time.
You're arguing that the context is subjective to the word provided yes? Yet your example is also subjective, clearly when your friends call you bitch it's not meant as an insult. I can't think of a single instance in which using dude as an insult is going to get someone offended on purpose, where bitch definitely can be used purposefully.
Dude can be used as an insult when used to refer to someone who specifically said they don't want to be called dude. I don't know why this is so hard for you. If people don't want to be called something, don't call them that. Definitely don't tell them it's their fault if they're offended and they need to get over it.
Yeah that's not how language works, that's how pestering works, just because you don't like to be called Apple and I call you an apple doesn't mean that apple is now magically an insult word.
I don't know why this is so hard for you
Nope. That's exactly how language works. You seem to be confused.
Nah, an insult would be me telling you "okay boomer" then blocking you to end this dumb back and forth
Big stretch there bud.
Bad faith behavior there lol
Bitch is technically an insult... Dude is not
Have lots of friends that calm me bitch. They can do so because I'm fine with it. If I tell them I'm not and they reply with "get over it", we have a problem.
Do ban them immediately after alone act of this felonious transgression?
🤡
I don't ban people in real life. I would definitely cut them off. Why are you trying to normalize abuse?
Have you tried banning people in real life?
This sounded better in your head, didn't it?
