@engineer_kappa I think the "bro = frat boy" association has been going on for... a while, easily a decade or two

my problem with the word is more that people will use it to refer to anyone in tech they dislike, usually as in "the only people who support X are techbros". this came up recently with some Discourse about artificial wombs.

to elaborate: I think originally the word was fine, but lately I've seen it drift more and more out of "shitty tech dude frat boy" to "anybody I don't like that works in tech"

@trysdyn yeah I think that was the use at the *start* but now it's just... all vague

@aoife me, going to the bank:

i kind of low-key hate the word "techbros" because 50% of the time these days it feels like a shorthand for "I don't like this opinion so I'll just say only shitty people (who are obviously men) have it"

@kat yeah "mansplaining" has kinda semantic drifted hard from "man explaining something a woman already knows" to "anyone that i can get away with calling a man explaining anything in a way I don't like" and i really hate it
