I hate how generation z calls everyone "bro". Plus I find it ironic that a generation that demands respect for their nouns goes around calling each other (and everyone else) by a gender specific noun. And a male one at that. 8 reply

As multiple people already said, they're kinda neutral words in this time and usually bear no harm. The people who take those as offensive pronouns need to learn how to not take things so personally and chill. Otherwise you might be making your own problem
You do realize that you are basically gas lighting me, right? Trying to make me feel like my opinions are not really valid because I'm exaggerating, I'm blowing things out of proportion. It's not a big deal. But if I were to say that being addressed as him/he, she/her is not a big deal, I guarantee that every single kid under the age of 18 on this site would have something to say about that. I personally don't believe in non binary, but when someone asks me to respect their nouns, I don't brush them off by saying it's not a big deal. I respect their wishes. Not everyone wants to do away with gender, not everyone agrees that it is ok to remove gender from actual gender specific nouns and not all women are ok with being called by a male specific noun. If you, and your generation can't respect that, then why should we respect and follow your non binary wishes? It's about equality.

I think If someone doesn't want to be called bro/sis or anything like that it's ok just like how people can choose which pronouns they want to be referred as. I don't understand why you have to be such a stuck up about this situation bro. Most trans people don't really give a fuck if you call them bro sis or pal
I’d say that even tho bro is short for brother people don’t really take it as being called brother and rather take it as being called friend or SOEMTHING, it’s just an easy way to address someone. no one really cares about the term when it comes to pronouns cuz everyone uses it so it’s not really that gender specific anymore
Just like it is easy to not use nouns for non binary people, it is easy to not address someone by bro or dude. They are unnecessary. You can say "hi, how are you?" As opposed to "hi, how are you, bro?" And just because gen z uses it doesn't mean that the rest of us do too. It's that mentality that YOU care about nouns and you expect the rest of us to respect them. YOU don't care about using a gender specific noun to address people and don't care that some of us clearly don't like it. Treat people the way you want to be treated is something ALL generations should do.

“Bro” isn’t supposed to have any rude undertone, it’s used to try and be friendly in its own way. I can get why you would find it disrespectful especially if used by someone younger than you. If u don’t like being called bro politely tell someone you don’t, if they don’t stop then they’re a dickhead. Same way if someone corrects u on their pronouns u should respect that, if u don’t ur a dickhead. I don’t know why you’re painting the picture that respect shouldn’t be expected

It's not just about age. For me it's about gender. I am a woman. I identify as a woman. I am proud of being a woman. I am not a bro. And yes, I have been addressed as a bro, I made it obvious I didn't like it. And they were a non binary girl, too. And they did the same thing everyone here is doing. They brushed it off as not being a big deal. So one could argue that it is disrespectful to paint my opinion about how I am addressed in regards to gender as "not a big deal" while at the same time demanding that they themselves be addressed, or not addressed, in a certain way.

I’m sorry that happened, that non binary PERSON is very rude for that. However, this feels more like not understanding “gen Z lingo”. As I said before, “bro” “dude” and “bruh” are all terms that TECHNICALLY are gendered, but no one uses them to call someone in a masculine way. I’m sure that person took you saying (in another way) “im not your bro” as a “im not your friend”. That’s the reason they brushed it off as not a big deal, not because they were trying to call you SOEMTHING you’re not. in genuinely the most respectful way I can possibly say this, times are changing and it’s probably time to try to get used to terms that are being used differently. If you still feel uncomfortable being called bro because you feel you are not a “bro”, then try to explain that you don’t like being called bro because you feel it’s a gendered term. It should make some people understand, otherwise (as I said before) they are a complete dickhead
I call everybody gurl and sista so idk-
bro it's not that deep

Bro and sis are no longer gender specific noun
Why? Because gen z says so? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Yes. Just like how new words like rizz , situationship are being made. Language Is always changing. Even gen alpha has made some words of their own
i feel like girl and bro are p gender neutral idk
bro what
LMMAOOO
What the what
