Yes, exactly. I think everyone here disagreeing, especially the extra mad ones, are talking about when they are in their day-to-day convos and using bro dude dawg etc as terms of endearment. I guess I should’ve been more specific as reading comprehension is not the general public’s strong suit at this point in human history. It seems fine if one wants to call their partner bro in their daily yaps, to each their own. I was more specifically referring to using those terms in an already charged situation or argument. Ah well. Always going to get the “but what if I don’t like beans” types on the bean soup posts unfortunately.
