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.

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.

That's like anything. If my name is Abigail and I don't wanna be called Abby, I don't have to hear an excuse as to why you wanna call me Abby. If someone isn't comfortable being called a thing and they tell you so, you fucking abide by that. Everything else is weirdo behavior.
