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.

From the Book of the Dude, the holy book of the Dudeism religion:

Incidentally, the term “dude” is commonly agreed to refer to all genders. Most linguists contend that the diminutive “dudette” is not in keeping with the parlance of our times.

So what you're saying is that ban is religious discrimination?

I don't want to be called dude or dudette, but I'm 95% certain this will change whenever I finally watch that movie.
