No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Tech-douche works for me.
By their nature, techbros are exclusionary toward women/other genders.
So, no gender-neutral term is necessary.
Elizabeth Holmes?
Tech-hoe
What a ridiculous take
You're saying there's no women at all perpetuating enshittification, corporate surveillance, social media propaganda, and targeted advertising? Literally not a single woman, among the hundreds of thousands of people working in tech?
I'd argue that Elizabeth Holmes fits the bill as a female tech-bro.
Identity policies at work.
It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what labels do you have.
Women who work in tech are wayyy more likely to be victims of techbros than actually be techbros.
Ok, that's completely irrelevant
STEM-cel
like incel, but for technogarchs
or "technogarch", I guess
I like this one
Oh that sounds good, and it makes sense from a linguistic POV.
techno-fascist
This is the real one
This makes me realize that I never saw a non-male techbro. Somehow the techbro crowd seems to mostly consist of young men.
Elizabeth Holmes
Fair point. Yeah that fits exactly
Literally the only one I could come up with, though, so it doesn't take away from your point
You must not live near Silicon Valley. There's plenty of female tech bros.
I'm Dutch, so pretty far away yeah
I'd say techbro is pretty gender neutral, in the same way "dude" and "guys" are.
I only fuck bros, dudes and guys.
“Who’s the dude in your relationship, and who is the bro?”
I prefer to be the “dude” and they the “bro”. Might as well spice it up with some incest while we’re at it.
Anecdotally, not a fan of the incest association but guys who’ve referred to me as “bro” have been excellent hookups. I do look more like The Dude though.
Well this took a turn....
Techdouche Techtwat Techfash Technazi Scum
I like the fash suffix.
Techfash doesn't have the right flow.
What about gigafash.
I personally go with fuckwit
It's already gender neutral, and when the term has inherent disdain being gender neutral is pointless.
Yeah it's like the guy in Wyoming who passed an anti-trans law saying that it's not required to use preferred pronouns to refer to somebody and then getting all upset when he was called "madam" and whining that his preferred pronoun is "chairman". That leopard eating your face must hurt.
Even if there were some woman as hellbent on destroying civilization as these guys, then she's a techbro. And if she gets mad about being called techbro because she's a woman? Well, how sad for her. "My heart goes out to you"
We're not trying to make them happy. Fuck them, fuck them all. If it makes them mad to be called a "bro" good, that's a bonus.
Stupid asshole?
"this asshole"
Sam Alt-them.
Cunt, some may not agree. But it is an apt description of everyone tearing apart our country.
Everyone is a cunt, it’s a vague description of any person.
Thats a solid point
Chucklefuck.
"Moron."
Considering Tech bro isn't clearly defined it's unlikely that there is a proper word for it.
The closest I would say is probably nerd being used as an insult, or a tech trendist, but I'm hoping some other people can chime in as well cuz I might have missed something
Nerd
No! Nerds are cool, and I like them a lot!
How about "fuckwit"?
I like nerds, too. OP is the one who hates nerds.
All techbros are nerds, but not all nerds are techbros.
