What exactly makes one a "dudebro"? The overwhelming majority of usages of this kind of terminology (and related words like "brogrammer") seem to fall into either of two categories: slights against co-workers that work out, play sports, and engage in other kinds of physical "dude" activities - usually motivated by attempts to justify the unhealthy lifestyles of the words' users. Or as a derogatory term for men that don't fit the typical Silicon Valley mold of "geek" culture.
Neither of which necessarily relates to one's willingness to effect change in the world.
- Nasrudith 8y agoIt is about as meaningful as SJW essentially in that it means what the user wants it to. It could mean everything that you said. Or it could mean someone who is a crass overgrown fratboy stereotype with no interests beyond money, alcohol, and sex and someone who works out and enjoys beer but can moderate themselves and have serious interests isn't one. It could be a flat out term of prejudice or cognitive armor to avoid listening to someone because they are too masculine.
