To me it’s just really really close to intentionally misgendering a person after someone stops liking them. This isn’t a gender related topic though, as far as I know, so I’m not saying people are misgendering (I’d feel a lot more strongly and I think others would as well). But because it’s so close to that it probably just triggers some of the same response in me.
For what it’s worth, if they said something like “don’t call me an asshole, I don’t like that word” after someone criticized them my opinion would be different, because the original request to not be called bro was reasonable (if odd, and obviously threatening to ban people downvoting it was out of line). But being upset people are rightfully criticizing you is very different.

Man, get the fuck out of here. No it isn’t, you’re just grasping around for various trigger-word framings where one side of the argument has a built in “win” button.

Yes, precisely. Not liking people using the word “bro” and explaining why is fine. Banning people from using it in your community and explaining why is weird, but sure. Seeking to artificially prevent people from “promoting” it by disagreeing with you by voting on comments, and sending out snotty messages demanding that they stop voting on content in a way that you don’t like, is some wild bullshit that’s going to lead to people making fun of you. That’s just how it works. You could wish it was otherwise, although to me it is a fine form of self expression self defense as I already explained, but it is not otherwise, that it how it is.

I feel like you just skipped over this part.
