"what is up, my mammals?"

Why would she ask "How many dudes have you fucked?" to attack his position??

It seems like a completely different topic altogether. I call fake.

Oh and the gay part is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.

Shouldn't it have been "How many guys have you fucked?" He didn't say "you dudes."

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's because the joke story was supposed to be " hey dudes" That way the woman asks "how many dudes have you fucked" he can then go into the Grindr gotcha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody says hey dudes anymore though

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"You fuckers" is the correct nomenclature

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (5 children)

"Fuckos" for informal situations

At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and "dude" and "guys" can be neutral terms.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

At first you need to take responsibility for what comes out your face and not assume everyone will accommodate to your inability to read the room. If you're an asshole to someone don't be a little bitch if you're getting called out.

Cunt is singular, he should have used "cunts".

This is fake and gay. Literally

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the fact that OP mentioned being at a party was sus. Nobody who posts on 4 Chan is ever invited to parties.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah, 20 dudes is rookie numbers

I view "guys" and "dudes" as gender neutral but when its directed towards me i start feeling like shit

Man…

Thomas has never seen such bs before

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (51 children)

It's not a problem until someone tells you to not refer to them as a dude or a guy. If you continue, you are just an asshole 🤷🏻

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Sure, but we're talking plurals of strangers atm. "Please don't call me a guy going forward" is a different conversation than "what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong".

People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say "man, whyd you do that" thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.

Dude is also genderless.

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Listen to this dude.

I worked at a university and I heard women call each other "bro" all the time.

I definitely use "guy" as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as "dude" as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...
