To me it’s just really really close to intentionally misgendering a person after someone stops liking them. This isn’t a gender related topic though, as far as I know, so I’m not saying people are misgendering (I’d feel a lot more strongly and I think others would as well). But because it’s so close to that it probably just triggers some of the same response in me.
For what it’s worth, if they said something like “don’t call me an asshole, I don’t like that word” after someone criticized them my opinion would be different, because the original request to not be called bro was reasonable (if odd, and obviously threatening to ban people downvoting it was out of line). But being upset people are rightfully criticizing you is very different.
