About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Wow that was you? Thanks Mr language man
It was a weird bit of pettifogging.
Sadly, they were just repeating the same old points. Weirdly, their justification for why it was fine to use dude in that context would make Sir a gender neutral term.
Like the other comment you replied to says: people will say the silliest things instead of introspect. It's all post hoc- "I do this thing, what do I need to say I believe to make that ok."
So i had fun repeating their ideas back at them, which is what I said I do in my original comment. Then people got upset at hearing their own ideas, like I said they do in my original comment.
Wait you believe dude is gender neutral? Your mum/wife/girlfriend/sister you think they're all dudes? Weird. Wait you believe he/him is gender neutral because it's used in that context? Weird. Wait, you believe Sir is gender neutral because it's used in a specific case gender neutrally? Weird...
For example here's a comment I received:
Like their isn't a point here. They just do this thing, so need to believe that language isn't criticised in this way by anyone other than Latin teachers with no students. Despite a link to that thing happening in the very thread they're replying to: the project to replace he/him I linked to. It's just silliness so they don't have to introspect. Funny though.
A small excerpt, just one example mind, there's other's if you care to look:
They're all Latin teachers with no students, or of similar ilk to Latin teachers with no students? All of them? Every industry that changed their manuals from he/him to they/them? You really believe that? Weird.
