Hacktivist group Anonymous has made a number of accusations against the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The YouTube video, which was released today, seeks to establish the veracity of prior allegations of racism against BAYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over 14,000 individuals have seen the movie as of right now, indicating that many people find the subject interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BAYC NFT collection was supposedly the group’s next target, according to a video posted in August by an ‘apparently bogus’ Anonymous Twitter account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Anonymous has now posted an allegation film against BAYC on its official channel, it appears that this video wasn’t entirely unfounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the charges Leveled Against Bored Ape Yacht Club?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bored Ape Yacht Collection and Yuga Labs brand is plagued with several instances of esoteric symbolism and dog whistles, according to the hacktivist organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly, they assert that these show support for paedophilia, racism, simianization, and nazism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group went on to say that these symbols are concealed in plain sight and that it takes particular previous knowledge for anyone to be able to “see” the difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the above sentence, unless you have some inside information, you might not recognise the connection between the BAYC and nazi insignia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They intend to reveal further details and the context in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the video, Anonymous began to address other racial and ethnic groupings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These consist of:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Holders of a BAYC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In light of the fact that so few people have spoken out in response to the charges, Anonymous encourages them to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Investors, Partners, and High-Profile Enthusiasts of BAYC and Yuga Labs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Anonymous group inquires about BAYC’s position on racism, sexism, and paedophilia and asks if they can still support BAYC in light of the revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They concede the holders’ ignorance, nevertheless, as they assert that Yuga Labs obscurely conceals these Nazi insignia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Yuga Labs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yuga Labs has consistently denied the allegations in remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Anonymous wants to know why they haven’t yet done anything to “delete these connections” from their brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Has anonymous provided any proof for the claims made against BAYC?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the upcoming weeks, Anonymous said they will present a pitch deck containing supporting documentation to BAYC and Yuga Labs sponsors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there is absolutely no proof in this video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is vital to know that Yuga Labs has already been accused of racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In August, Ryder Ripps charged Yuga Labs for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some believe what he says, others have openly expressed their mistrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What has Yuga Labs to say about the accusations made against BAYC?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yuga Labs has not yet responded, although they have previously refuted accusations of a similar nature. In June of this year, YouTuber Philion released a video that alleged racism towards BAYC, which prompted a response from Yuga Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gordon Goner, a co-founder of Yuga Labs, wrote a blog entry outlining the company’s decision not to address the ongoing accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He claims that the primary cause is that they are “insanely far-fetched.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n New claims from the Anonymous team, however, make it seem less unlikely than previously believed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Opinions Are Being Voiced About the Video?<\/p>\n\n\n\n People have posted various responses on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some think the claims are outrageous, others are waiting for the pitch deck, and still, others have remained silent. Actually, there hasn’t been much of a response from the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The present conversations in the #bayc hashtag on Twitter suggest that the claims might not have a significant impact on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About the Author<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Murtuza Merchant is a senior journalist and an avid follower of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 30, 2022 By Murtuza Merchant Hacktivist group Anonymous has made a number of accusations against the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection.
