Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

"Sup dudes" is what I use. easier.

edit: if there's any confusion, always defer to the philosophy of Ed from Good Burger.

"I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. Cause we're all dudes! (hey!)"

Dudes, guys, and boiiii are gender neutral terms and that's a hill I'll die on

Well get ready to, 'cause I need you to go to the bar and ask a straight man if he fucks dudes, guys, or boiiiiis.

That's his business

Careful, some weirdos will get offended at that one for absolutely no reason.

I addressed everyone as dudes in a work email once, a woman I worked with mentioned she wasn't a dude. Yes, she was just messing. The next email I addressed it to Glorious Comrades. It became an inside joke between us for a while.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

you can't just say that, what if they're not a dude? ⁠(⁠•⁠ˇ⁠_⁠ˇ⁠•) /s

"so I was making out with this dude" is not gender neutral though

[–] Nima@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

the post was for ways to address large groups of people without offending anyone. "Sup dudes" is my answer to that.
