They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

From the Book of the Dude, the holy book of the Dudeism religion:

Incidentally, the term “dude” is commonly agreed to refer to all genders. Most linguists contend that the diminutive “dudette” is not in keeping with the parlance of our times.

I don't want to be called dude or dudette, but I'm 95% certain this will change whenever I finally watch that movie.
