When you see the fast fashion giant Zara proudly selling “Dude With Sign” shirts for their summer collection, you know the Dude has gone mainstream. And how couldn’t he? With a whopping 7.5 million followers, New Yorker Seth Phillips has gained a cult following for his truth bombs that protest anything from loud engines, phones that shatter easily, “x” in espresso, and other very specific, small things that add up to our daily lives.

And luckily, there’s always something new to protest against. Like, hot coffee in summer or verifying you’re not a robot. So today, we collected some of the Dude’s most recent signs for y'all dudes and dudettes who have had enough. Of what? Let’s say, just everything.

Psst! More truth bombs from ‘Dude With Sign’ await in our previous posts here, here and here.

And it's not even a gender reveal, it's a sex reveal. Your baby boy could be a woman by the time she's 19.

If a super majority of people agree with how they were gendered, wouldnt it be more efficient to roll with the given assignment system and just be as cool and supportive as possible if they decide later that its not for them? Let them know that some people disagree with what they've been assigned, and thats ok. But completely disregarding the gender of all human children until they decide for themselves kind of seems like it would be more damaging then helpful. At least in the context of a society where they would likely be hearing conflicting messages the whole time before the choose.

Calling genitals junk is part of the problem but this is not for the public. It is a private celebration for family and friends.

The birth can be the reveal if you want to surprise people

And stop blowing s**t up because you're too self-absorbed to know that you suck at pyrotechnics.

You don't need to set a whole state on fire to reveal your kids gender…Do it the old style, buy colored shoes. See how easy that was?

I think gender reveal anything for an unborn baby is ridiculous. You don't even know what "gender" the poor kid will be, you only know what $ex the baby will be. AND yes, in today's society, that's a tremendous difference! With everybody wanting to create/be their own gender, why are you announcing to the world what the kid has between their legs as if that is what will identify/define them in their life when that is exactly what the world is screaming not to do?

Both sex and gender are about a lot more than what is between anyone's legs. Celebrate what you want./Life is too short not to but just be open toi change which is also cause for celebration.

Stupidest trend ever. The couple that started the California wildfires near San Bernadino last year are being charged - I think it said negligent homicide for the firefighter who died, on top of all the other charges by causing a fire.

better yet make gender reveal parties genital themed instead. WHEN I GO TO A GENDER REVEAL PARTY I EXPECT GENITAL SHAPED CONFETTI WITH A SIGN SAYING “ITS A *insert vulgar term for genitalia here*”

No you don't. Whatever happened to just doing a gender reveal with cake or glitter or something?

"Hey Mom, we're having a boy". Did it at the weekly Sunday dinner after church. Ultrasound was the Wednesday before. It's that effing simple people.

Soo true! In fact, you don't need a gender reveal at all - it's so narcissistic.

Back in my day, the gender was a surprise. I think I like it better that way.

As someone else has said in another article have a sex reveal party, if your uncomfortable saying it then don't have a sex reveal party.

And for those who insist on having one anyway, CLEAN UP EVERY SINGLE BIT OF THE PARTY AFTER. Stop leaving Confetti and streamers all over parks.

I thought a gender reveal party would be cool, then I realized that it’s assigning color for a certain gender. Why can’t I be blue? I love blue!

Once upon a time, blue was for girls, and pink was for boys. That changed in the early 20th century.

For me, not knowing was part of the excitement. So I had a lot of yellow, orange, brown and green baby clothes -- which worked just fine for the next baby, too.

Dude’s stardom started back in 2019 when Seth Philips, also known as the famous Dude holding signs, and Elliot Tabele held up a cardboard sign saying “Stop replying-all to company-wide emails” in New York City’s Soho neighborhood. The shot was initially made to be shared on Tabele’s Instagram account but after his follower count blew up, the duo realized their low-key protests were something the internet went crazy about.

Previously, Seth told Forbes that the signs were inspired by the never-ending list of first-world problems millennials have had enough of. But what made Dude With Sign really popular is just how relatable his truth bombs really were. The signs' universal appeal has amassed Seth a whopping 7.5M followers.

Today, Dude With Sign's influence is indisputable. Just a few days ago, I stumbled across Dude With Sign shirts in the isles of the street fashion giant Zara. The collection of shirts featured a couple of the most popular pics of Dude holding a punny sign.

Meanwhile, during the worldwide pandemic, Seth has collaborated with the World Health Organisation on a series of memes to share accurate information about how to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The series of pics was aimed at those who use Instagram as their news source and they included messages like “Elbow bumps are the new handshakes” and “Just chill. Your friends aren’t doing anything, anyway.” Both fun and lighthearted, Dude’s signs have helped to spread a crucial point at the height of the global health crisis.
