weird to pull this one out when talking about a fairly large targeted harassment wave but not when certain vcs whine about getting “bullied” because one person quote tweet dunked them once

lol I've always engaged with @vcbrags and thanked them for the dunk so idk take this criticism elsewhere to the crybabies of tech twitter

just saying it’s boring to not call out the crybabies closer to home!

those crybabies give me dealflow

Steph doesn't realize that her crowd is intensifying the selective pressure toward founders with absolute control a la Zuckerberg

if you were founding a company today, in this atmosphere, would you leave this attack surface open? depends on your leverage of course, if you need to raise... but the founders with the most leverage raise the rounds that everyone wants to get into

myself, I don't have Balaji-level fuck-you money, but I'm uncancelable unless you can get me kicked off Stripe, and both anodyne + connected enough that doing so would cause a huge shitshow in my favor. game it out Steph — how do you think this works out for your lot long-term?

you sound paranoid as hell i literally don’t know you and frankly don’t give a shit about cancelling you or whatever you don’t know me either and it says a lot that you just lump everyone you disagree with into just “your lot”. have a good time fighting an imaginary culture war
