Am I being rude for asking to not be called "bro"? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Someone I live with insists on calling me "bro" and "dude", despite my repeated pleas for cessation, citing ideolect as a defence.

I get that "bro" and "dude" are part of their vocabulary, but it hurts. Am I in the wrong here?

P.S. Is this the right community for this kind of question?

Bingo, this.

If you don't like it, and you've explained that you don't like it, and they keep doing it, it's basically verbal abuse. Treat it as such.
