I heard someone say it before. I think it was on the memes post.

I also use "bro" in that way

However, even if we use it for gender neutral terms, they don't like it and we need to respect that

It would honestly be better if someone didn't say it at all

Im fine with bro. I feel its a little less like man. You know?

Yeah

That makes sense

It is a term that is friendly and used often

And terms like dude, bro, and guy are fine. Im sorry if I seem like im trying to be rude. I'm not trying too

You're not being rude

You're requesting respect and we should give that to you

Woah! This post has exploded. I’m OK with that though. Interestingly, I like my boy Mewtwo btw. To another point something like dude or guys could be classified as gender neutral, for example you might say to a group of mixed genders, “Hey guys! How’s it going?” It is a very good habit though to refer to users as they/them.
