There's a similar term in science: bropenscience (bro + open science). The behaviour is strangely similar, people on the nerdier side who have been doing 'their' niche-thing for a while and are often condescending/aggressive towards newcomers. It's interesting that both FOSS and open science were made to make things more 'open' but sometimes lock/close things down even more.
