The "Not A Dude" Trend
- Thread starter McBell
- Start date
I was entirely unaware of it until you posted this. So I'm not sure what it's even about.
I had not heard of this, although I did a bit of a search and found this article: Photo fakery behind ‘not a dude’ images
I am a dude, but I'm not going to mark anything on my crotch, unlike other guys who are so desperate to prove their dudeness by sending Anthony Weiner shots to anyone willing to look. But it's all just so silly.
I think if it was that much of a trend, there would be no need to photoshop pictures to make it seem like a trend.

I've also heard words like "dude" and "guys" sometimes used in gender-neutral contexts. I've heard women call other women "dude."
Personally, I was never a fan of the word "dude." I remember a song about a guy who said "don't call me dude," as he went ballistic any time someone called him "dude."
Then there was Rob Schneider's take:
en.wikipedia.org
Dude is American slang for an individual, typically male.[1] From the 1870s to the 1960s, dude primarily meant a male person who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner (a dandy) or a conspicuous citified person who was visiting a rural location, a "city slicker". In the 1960s, dude evolved to mean any male person, a meaning that slipped into mainstream American slang in the 1970s. Current slang retains at least some use of all three of these common meanings.[2]
So, all you city slickers from back East are "dudes," dressed in your fancy-dancy, citified clothes.
Doctored girls water polo photo pushes anti-trans sentiment
An image rocketing across X and elsewhere appears to show a group of girls making a political statement by wearing team swimsuits that say "Not a dude" in text printed over the crotch area. But the picture is manipulated, the high school told AFP; the original photo from 2018 includes no such...

I'm wondering why you didn't look into it and/or decided it might be fun to keep the meme alive.
I also found the OP image through a reverse image search:

The only present sources that I can find for that photo are Facebook and Twitter. Not exactly the most reliable sources. I did find another article about how pictures are being photo shopped this way:

If you think about it UC Davis would have fairly strong support for their trans students and that sort of logo being added to an official swimsuit would simply not be allowed. Fake, fake, fake.

Dudes only wear bowling shirts and have a beer in their hand.More articles regarding the trend:

Why are you putting a trans woman's first name in quotation marks?
Because imo he's clearly a man.

Skylark
Is that reflective of your general opinions on trans people or just Lia specifically?

Skylark
Because of her role in sports? or what criteria are you using to justify disrespecting her identified gender?
For those of us following along, can you define "gender"? You seem to be using it interchangeably with biology?

It did take a few searches to actually find the original. Whoever is doing this seems to be picking pictures which may have less of a noticeable presence, as this photo only had 6500 views since 2015.
