Every time I (and others) say there's s certain bro elements within certain #openscience circles (which I like to collectively call #bropenscience because they don't care about the inclusivity/diversity aspect of it) somebody will insunuate I am/we are against open science.

I am seeing a split - there are people using "bro" to highlight a possible lack of concern for inclusivity; and there are people using "bro" to highlight what they perceive as inappropriate methods/tone/media of critique....

I don't see these as separate things; there are...let's call them "aggressive communication patterns"...that tend to be used by men. Their source is power and entitlement. A lack of diversity means that such communication patterns are normalised, though they exhaust others.

I grew up in online discussions (BBSs, USENET, IRC, web forums) and it took me a long time to see 1) how widespread it is in online culture, 2) how bad it could be, and 3) and that I need to keep it in check myself and listen to what others have to say about it.

Agreed...my default is that if someone has a concern, you listen and take it seriously. People don't just make up stuff (or not enough to over-ride this stance...back to T1 and T2 errors).

And I see your point on what I am calling a split perhaps at least partly originating from the same underlying cause - though I would still land on (Support Inclusivity) & (Not Filter Critique).

I am glad to hear you support inclusivity. That's huge because in the past on this issue I/we had almost no support from men in open science. Even just a few months ago (the most recent time we brought up inclusivity) there was no real support other than from a handful of women.

Also this idea of a split... I never felt comfortable with the bros. Some of the most bro-y bros have blocked me called me names. It's just we've been quiet(er) and the bros have been vocal.
