I honestly did not expect my half-baked musings on a gender neutral variant of "hey dudes" to bring forth people claiming "DUDE IS GENDER NEUTRAL I USE DUDE TO REFER TO EVERYONE FUCK YOU IF YOU'RE OFFENDED"

Hm... "Dude" is fairly male-coded, so shouldn't really be used in mixed company

But that only covers the binary genders, so for non-binary I propose "Duderino"

Putting all that together, the address "Dudes, Dudettes, and Duderinos" (in any order) could be the best way to address a mixed group
