So apparently, my definition of "techbro" was all wrong. I thought it was referring to right-libertarian-leaning, sometimes rich, tech-nerds who offer "solutions" to the world's problems when they are (at-best) perceived as band-aid solutions. But apparently, it's actually about "toxic masculinity in the industry".

I get why techbros are hated, but I don't think it's an excuse to write off some new idea as there might be some useful applications for it. Seriously, I see a lot of people talking about why we should never go to the stars because they only perceive it as a techbro's wet dream.

@xianc78 it's literally a catch all for everyone the poster disagrees with online

@PurpCat I've never even heard of the term until the NFT craze and Elon Musk becoming public enemy #1.
