I doubt it is sexism, HN tends to be fairly equal in its pointless bikeshedding

You think if adam savage had done this project he would be subject to questions about how much work he did or whether it’s a pickup or a ute?

Yes. Not only do they do that for men, but Elon specifically, and even calling him out on taking credit for work that an uncredited woman working for him did.

Yes? I saw some number of comments along these lines on Adam Savages' 3D printed titanium Iron Man suit. That "he just paid someone to do the hard/interesting part".

And I've seen comments along these lines on Colin Furze's builds. Among others, mostly men.

It seems explicitly sexist to leap to the defense of female creators in this way. Why not just assume they can handle the criticism, just as well as males can, and don't need anyone defending them?

Agreed HN can be fairly negative. Especially anything regarding taking a chance or tesla. All those big tech IPOs go back to their HN launch they all have negative comments.
