Lol simmer down, bud. You didn't make the movie; you just liked it. No need to take it personally

    I think I responded to the wrong person initially, but can I ask why saying "bud" is bad?

    Because you're using language to try to "win" an argument simply by infantilising the opposition.

    To tell someone to chill out. I could have said man or pal or friend, but I chose "bud" this time. I don't think it's an infantilizing term at all

    Hmm, ok. Bud can come off a little condescending but I see you meant no ill will.
