Right-leaning rapper Zuby suspended by Twitter for 'hateful conduct' because he triggered self-appointed 'Pronoun Enforcer' [screenshots]

If you’re not familiar with Zuby, he’s a rapper, speaker, and public figure with a conservative bent. That last one is a big strike against him, because he doesn’t make any effort to bury it on Twitter. He regularly takes an intellectual sledgehammer to the Wokeness Brigade.

And now, he’s paying for his insolence, via a Twitter suspension:

Just got a message from @ZubyMusic that he’s been suspended by Twitter for hateful conduct. Confirmed by manual review.

He has deleted the tweet and is now in Twitter purgatory. pic.twitter.com/venIi0Vxnl

So, if we’re understanding this correctly, Zuby’s egregious offense is addressing someone who goes by “Pronoun Enforcer” as “dude”?

First of all, on just a basic level, “dude” isn’t offensive:

Dude is not gender specific. Neither is guy.

Fight me.

Seriously. Girls and women use “dude” all the time.

Such an obvious power trip. They love that they have the power to deplatform people. He didn't even call her a dude, he said "ok dude," which is usually gender neutral anyway. pic.twitter.com/IdvRN97cRD

But even stupider than the idea that “dude” is offensive is the idea that addressing someone by the “wrong” pronoun constitutes “hateful conduct.”
