  So these VCs are sexist because they blocked someone I’ve never heard of for an unknown reason? Maybe they are just fragile snowflakes like he implies, but that’s orthogonal to your accusation. Also, blocking anonymous trolls online is wonderful for your sanity. I wish HN had the ability.

    Too bad you won't get funded with your biz op scheme for the cis white males you are defending.

      Someone should sew your anus shut and feed you until you explode.

  Anand did a great thing with tech journalism, but the notion that he, or any journalist, is in any position to gatekeep on who qualifies as a "thinker" is laughably vain. I do not deny that VCs have a bias (an agenda, even) that leads them to predict a future which furthers their own wealth. But corporate media holds considerable cultural power, and to assume members of the corporate media only tell the truth and never act to protect or extend that cultural power is naive (or mendacious). Whatever we may say about capitalists insulating themselves from failure, at some point they still have to put some skin in the game. Your average corporate journalist is arguably more insulated from the consequences of their failure than a typical VC. Edit: I seem to have mistaken this person for Anand formerly of Anandtech. An unforced error on my part. My point about vanity still
