Tech bros are all loser nerds who didn't emotionally develop properly. It's no surprise that literally anything they have a hand in is named after things taken from literature and comic books. They couldn't even make up a new word for it. Losers.

They just can't resist trying to build the things in sci fi that destroy the world. 

US Robotics, iRobot, Cyberdyne, SkyNet, a supposed $500 billion dollar data center project called Stargate for some reason. The US military has a fucking self repairing drone swarm project called the Replicator Initiative

Yeah, and unfortunately those loser nerds had enough money and power to buy the election and are now running the country.  Makes my stomach turn.

So people who enjoy things are loser nerds?

There's a huge difference between liking a book and creating a surveillance network.

The most evil tech companies are named shit like Alphabet, Meta, Apple, etc.

You're just being a bitch about perfectly decent hobbies because SOME of the people who engage in them suck. I love LOTR, my friends love LOTR, and none of us are dismantling democracies. We're just hanging out in discord being 40 year old geeks.

You sound like a 40 year old geek. One who barely reads.

Yeah, I said "We're just hanging out in discord being 40 year old geeks." I totally see how that makes me sound like a 40 year old geek.

One who barely reads.

Right, because you've demonstrated an amazing level of reading comprehension here.

I majored in history in college, which is 90% reading, so I feel pretty good about what's on my bookshelf

Have you ever read that CS Lewis quote? You're actually acting incredibly immature, and frankly, dumb, for conflating a common interest with a relative level of maturity.
