    Idgaf if dude can be gendered

    good for you, some people really don’t want to be called that.
    part of respecting someone’s identity is respecting the terms which they want and don’t want to be called by.
    getting them wrong doesn’t make you an asshole, getting them wrong and not caring does.

    People need to get over themselves

    in this context this is identical to Conservative “the new generation is too sensitive!!!” drivel.

            Uh-huh. Seems you already know your stance is wrong.

            Say it, you coward. You’ve already been blowing all the dog-whistles you can find, surely you have the guts to actually say the things you’re thinking.

                Huh. That’s interesting.

                Earlier you were saying that you reckon people are oversensitive about use of ‘dude’. You took the angle that it can be ungendered, and so people shouldn’t be oversensitive about its use. But now you mention ‘race-swapping’ and trans women. Apparently it is you who is oversensitive. You are upset about the way people express themselves in cases where it has no practical impact on you. You could just ignore it completely, with no cost and no impact, but for some reason you rail against it instead. It’s interesting what riles some people up.

                    Trans women are women. Therefore they should be allowed to play women’s sports. Seems simple enough. I don’t understand where the problem is.

                    Race swapping if it goes against, say, the description of a character, irritates me a little—The whitewashing of the main characters of Avatar: the Last Airbender in the live-action movie was pretty immersion-breaking for me.

                Let the downvotes and blocks ensue because I’m going against the consensus opinion here😔
