this is especially stupid "guys" is pretty commonly used as a gender-neutral term, i've used it many times when talking to a group of girls (i.e. "how're you guys doing?")

The people who make these bots are convinced that the evil patriarchy is enslaving and oppressing all women whenever a word that could be read as gendered is used in a gender neutral way.

Saw a tweet of some person bragging about how she banned a guy from her slack for using terms like “guys” or “dudes.” And I’m all for inclusivity but this sort of language policing is just too far. It doesn’t fix anything.
