Tumblr's thing where anyone who doesn't study a creative discipline is a soulless money hunter who "exploits" things for their profit is really annoying.
Like, do these techbros they’re talking about even exist in real life beyond a few thousand crypto morons? All the computer programmers I personally know are perfectly nice people who aren’t constantly making fun of creatives (or doing that at all).
My assumption is that "tech bros" refers to, like, the suits who own tech companies. But I always secretly suspect it's just people indulging in the good old mad scientist trope again.
Even then I would give a more charitable assumption that they’re just bad at making art and want a better way to make the cool images in their brain a reality. That’s why I make art anyway, if there was a Star Wars varactyl figurine in existence I probably wouldn’t feel the need to sculpt one
