The most consistent stumbling block for tech companies is disrespect and outright disdain for users. It’s not a coincidence that VCs on here are going after a reporter whose career is dedicated to elevating user voices instead of engaging in founder worship.

I’m super sad that smart, powerful men who used to build companies and the future are spending all their time on here attacking young women and RT-ing IDW propaganda.

Pretty telling that you omit that he is brown. Imagine if I characterized the conflict as “White person bashes Indian immigrant.”

I was there in the Clubhouse room. She never bashed his race. She didn’t say anything. She left the room when he was invited up onstage. *Someone else* speculated that she might feel unsafe and B incorrectly interpreted this as a comment about his race.

Fair enough, but when you say "attacking young men" doesn't that imply incorrectly that he is sexist?

I mean, you can look at what he’s spent his time on in the last few weeks and judge for yourself.

Fair enough. I am honestly suspicious of the idea that it is motivated by gender and not the particular articles they wrote, though.

You can read Taylor’s articles directly. None of them are about him or his firm. They’re all about youth culture, youth builders and youth creators.https://www.nytimes.com/by/taylor-lorenz …

You are right wrt to articles. I guess it's just tweets he's objecting to in Taylor's case and the org she works for.
