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.

I don’t feel like asking random people on the internet I will only interact with once whether or not they support the word dude. If it bothers them, they can inform me and I can apologize. But I guess, in relation to your comment, that would just boil down to me being okay with offending people who are upset if a ‘first conversation’ involves me using the wrong ‘friend’ word.
