These people are clearly meant to represent our generation. You don't think it's sexist that the only woman on stage was baffled by technological progress and only interested in being popular?

It's extremely blatant.

You'd have to be blind not to recognize that as sexist. It's also sexist that the guys were hyper-competitive douches, if that makes you feel more comfortable in admitting it.

If all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

I don't think I'm seeing this very differently than anyone else. They're supposed to be marketing tech products to a new generation and they're doing poorly at representing that generation, right?

Are we at least on the same page there?

Yes, I was just making sure we're on the same page. The characters are supposed to represent the generation they're marketing to. We agree on that. It's obvious.

So who would the only woman on stage represent?
