I've worked at Google as an engineer. There isn't an institutionalised 'bro culture' (unlike, say Uber or Wall-street finance). There is, however, a huge number of single and poorly-socialized male engineers. If I had to bet, I'd say there was probably some merit to the lawsuit.
These sorts of things will, of course, be common when your environment has a volatile mix of:
A large number of employees with poor social skills: Think autistic spectrum. They can't read social cues. They can't judge how their behaviour would make someone else feel. They can't judge what behaviour is "appropriate" and "inappropriate". When you point out to some of these people that their behaviour is unacceptable, a good portion of them tend to avoid self-reflecting and instead decry, "Oppressive PC culture!" I don't mean to say that there isn't some merit to the complaints that the culture is too "PC", but just that some people with awful behaviour will rally behind that flag instead of recognizing that, maybe, they've been a dick.
A disproportionate number of single employees of one gender: Each employee of the minority gender may find themselves pursued daily by multiple "desperate" and socially-awkward employees of the other gender. Moreover, a lot of these pursuers are relatively inexperienced with the other gender and don't really know what they're doing. I've seen this happen to a couple female engineers and it sucks. Consequently, they tend to have to be on their guard all the time which can make them appear unfriendly or like they're not fitting in. And, when you always have to be on guard, sometimes you see threats when there aren't any. A more equal gender balance would be better for everyone in the long run.

My impression of reddit from my time there is that it attracts a large number of NTs.

The hypocrisy projection is strong with this redditor. She wants to make everyone follow PC culture yet she doesn't follow it herself.
Yup. I think the same.
I hop on this band wagon as well. Though its not surprising in this day and age to find someone so ignorant.
