    “Dude” can be gender neutral but given the context of it in your response it really fucking looks like a microaggression against her for being trans

      I’ve already explained in this thread that on the mobile client (both Memmy and Wefwef), pronouns are not displayed. After this comment, I had to log on to desktop just to see what everyone was on about.

      I’m here to confirm that it was a proverbial use of “dude”, like you might see used in movies such as The Big Labowski, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Good Burger. It is pretty well established in the west that dude is used for about anyone.

      I understand now that this might not be the case everywhere and I am truly sorry for any misunderstanding related to gender that I have caused here.
