Looks like this prompted another founder to post that they were kicked out 2 weeks ago for a different incident: https://twitter.com/ekadamer/status/1400956227

  Very concerning thread. Maybe worse are the replies defending YC e.g https://twitter.com/figputt/status/1401050235141558274?s=19 https://twitter.com/figputt/status/1401050235141558274?s=19 Hopefully YC doesn't pull a coinbase/Basecamp after this. Just because you have an private internal forum doesn't mean people should need to treat it like fight club, or be concerned about their place in the club for calling out bad behaviour.

  That accusation is far more serious...

  To me this is a far more serious and concerning issue. As a woman, I’m always skeptical of institutions like YC, and I take these kinds of comments very seriously. It’s really sad for me, to be honest. I used to really aspire to VC. But I’ve accepted I can only bootstrap at this point because of the treatment I’ve heard of others experiencing. I don’t think I could handle it emotionally.
