Im looking for something that isn’t gender specific but carries the same inherent disdain that “techbro” has.

By their nature, techbros are exclusionary toward women/other genders.
So, no gender-neutral term is necessary.
This thread is basically “Please help me brainstorm pejoratives”, a very toxic mindset to have.
No this is an attempt to not misgender someone while dismissing their stupid opinion.
For example if I replied to your comment “OK guy, that’s a totally valid read of my post” I could be misgendering you. That is why Im instead replying “OK buddy, that’s a totally valid take and you are absolutely in a place to judge others” as Im not looking to misgender you just to dismiss your opinion.
You’re confused. I said “this thread” and not “The OP”.
If you read the comments, do you see a frank discussion of people attempting to locate a gender neutral term for a tech enthusiast or a bunch of people just riffing insulting terms?
Regardless, to address you specifically. You’re trying to “win” an argument using rhetoric in place of reason. You’re not winning the argument, you’re just throwing a punch and declaring victory.
You win arguments by having better arguments, not by coming up with the best clever clapback so that you get more upvotes
This makes me realize that I never saw a non-male techbro. Somehow the techbro crowd seems to mostly consist of young men.

“this asshole”

like incel, but for technogarchs
or “technogarch”, I guess
Oh that sounds good, and it makes sense from a linguistic POV.
I like this one
techno-fascist
This is the real one
It’s already gender neutral, and when the term has inherent disdain being gender neutral is pointless.
Yeah it’s like the guy in Wyoming who passed an anti-trans law saying that it’s not required to use preferred pronouns to refer to somebody and then getting all upset when he was called “madam” and whining that his preferred pronoun is “chairman”. That leopard eating your face must hurt.
Even if there were some woman as hellbent on destroying civilization as these guys, then she’s a techbro. And if she gets mad about being called techbro because she’s a woman? Well, how sad for her. “My heart goes out to you”
We’re not trying to make them happy. Fuck them, fuck them all. If it makes them mad to be called a “bro” good, that’s a bonus.
I’d say techbro is pretty gender neutral, in the same way “dude” and “guys” are.
I only fuck bros, dudes and guys.
“Who’s the dude in your relationship, and who is the bro?”
Cunt, some may not agree. But it is an apt description of everyone tearing apart our country.
Everyone is a cunt, it’s a vague description of any person.
Thats a solid point

Considering Tech bro isn’t clearly defined it’s unlikely that there is a proper word for it.
The closest I would say is probably nerd being used as an insult, or a tech trendist, but I’m hoping some other people can chime in as well cuz I might have missed something
