I assumed most of the people would know of the context
Haha, nope. This is the very first post on the subject I’ve seen.
And now I’m just really confused about how someone could be offended by the term “bro”. Personally I’d say it’s gender-neutral, but I can understand a woman, especially a trans woman, being opposed to the term. But that doesn’t seem to be what’s going on here. So it’s just…weird. It’s a friendly term of endearment.
I edited both the OP and the comment, so hopefully it’s more clear.
The reasoning behind it is that ‘bro’ can be related to the ‘bro’ culture (think cryptobros), that is not known for good discussions but rather dismissive comments and attitudes.
There is a more detailed explanation somewhere down the comments, but too lazy to find it now.
I don’t really agree with that stance, but I can see why someone would think that.
