Јахт клуб Боред Апе (БАИЦ) на суђењу након оптужби за расизам

According to the YouTuber, the NFT images were a caricature of Black and Asian people while also saying that BAYC is “one massive alt-right inside joke”.

Rusnack continued that the symbols used by Yuga Labs and Bored Apes could be compared to those used by the Nazis, saying there is a point at which the similarities should no longer be viewed as coincidences.

Previously, comparisons have been raised between the BAYC logo and the Nazi Totenkopf symbol. He concluded the video by urging Ape holders to burn their NFTs. In his words:

„Желим да сваки славни глумац, спортиста и утицајна особа спали свог јебеног мајмуна. Желим да направим такву јебену усрану олују да су сви, од Стефа Карија преко Пост Малоуна до Џимија Фелона, приморани да делују.”

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Yuga Labs would be facing racial issues with its NFTs. Ryder Ripps first drew attention to this early this year via a compilation he made on the domain gordongoner.com.

Yuga Labs, however, tacitly responded to these claims saying the BAYC logo had a ape in it because they want to “convey just how bored these apes are – they‘re ‘bored to death.’”

The team also said people used the term “Apes” to refer to themselves and not others.

Expert Opinion and the Issue of Inclusion

During an interview with Mark Pitcavage earlier this year, the senior researcher at the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism opined to Input that there was no link between the BAYC logo and the Totenkopf.

The researcher, however, supports the resemblance between traits and attributes presented in some of the NFTs, citing the ‘hip hop’ train with a gold chain and the ‘sushi chef headband.’According to Pitcavage, these representations can extrapolate to the Black culture and Japanese folk.

According to Jeff Nelson, the co-founder and chief technology officer of Blavity, there is a need for the crypto/Metaverse industry to pay attention to issues of diversity especially as the space is being built for people of different racial backgrounds.

Према његовим речима:

“When you don’t have people at the table who have historically suffered harms or abuses, or who have to live with certain things in the back of their mind, then you don’t build platforms in a way that protects those people … If we make the same mistakes that we did with social networking and web 2.0 … then we’ll just bring that problem into this new space.”
