I fully expected this to be some toxic male protest over the whole wnba wanting fair pay issue. Turns out its just the shittiest ad campaign I’ve seen in a while. A fucking meme coin.
Meme coins are usually run by incels, so it is most likely still both.
I'd be willing to bet that it's actually just sexism and the crypto had nothing to do with it. But crypto grifts are based on the ability to draw attention, so they just decided to claim responsibility to get the eyes of the media on them.
Maybe it's both.
For sure, I’d imagine denigrating female athletes is, at the minimum, a huge incentive for them. Also want to point out, how much I despise the while ‘it’s just a prank bro’ routine they are trying to pull off.
Intentionally disrupting professional sporting events as part of a marketing campaign sounds like an easy lawsuit against the company responsible.
Crypto is a plague in the universe.
downfall of democracy
Right alongside generative AI.
That shit is stupid and dangerous. Also, nothing that jackass said made any sense. If this wasn't about sexual harassing women or shitting on women's sports, then why chose the WNBA? Even if that statement is sincere, how could you not be aware that this would cause individuals who do hold those views to participate? Fuck crypto clowns.
Schrodinger’s asshole. It’s just a joke bro! Unless…?
I would totally trust some dildotosser with my money, 100%.
Sounds trashy.
Fine. Arrest them and trespass them. Fuck those guys
Better yet, let the girls kick their asses.
You, i like you
They should throw them at the supreme Court instead
I really liked this take on it: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/aug/08/wnba-sex-toy-throwing-meme-culture-shame-collapse
And I agree. It's just Gez Z brain rot. This is what watching youtube all your life does to you.
In a memetic landscape poisoned by irony, absurdity is the point. The dildo isn’t symbolic. Its function is noise.
Maybe, but it’s also sexual harassment.
Protesting the toxic environment in the crypto world...who creates that toxic environment?
