Prepare for a peculiar tale as the so-called “green dildo saga” unfolds, drawing attention for its absurdity and involvement with cryptocurrency and memecoins.
In recent weeks, incidents involving lime green dildos being thrown at WNBA players have made headlines. Various sources, including Front Office Sports, report five to six such occurrences.
Two individuals, Delbert Carver and Kaden Lopez, both under the age of 25, have been arrested in connection with the events. Their actions have sparked outrage, with WNBA players firmly expressing their disapproval, capturing attention across media platforms, including Cosmopolitan, which condemned the behavior as “disgusting and violating.”
Adding to the absurdity, Donald Trump Jr. shared a post on Instagram featuring an image of his father tossing a large green dildo from the roof of the White House onto women playing basketball, provoking a mix of comments including one that referenced the Epstein case.
Questions have arisen regarding the motivation behind these bizarre acts at basketball games. According to the Associated Press, the arrested men claimed the incidents were intended as a prank, meant to go viral. In a detailed report by USA Today, it was revealed that the impetus behind these prankish stunts stems from the cryptocurrency community, specifically advocates for a new memecoin dubbed “Green Dildo Coin.”
Reportedly, this memecoin project now boasts a market cap of approximately $12 million. Representatives for Green Dildo Coin stated that their antics were meant to highlight what they consider injustices within the cryptocurrency space. They described their actions as a form of protest against perceived monopolization by a small group of influencers within the industry.
USA Today elaborates that the group behind this memecoin seeks to create sufficient chaos to attract attention and a voice in the congested crypto environment. While their actions have garnered media coverage, specifics about future plans for the campaign remain undisclosed.
Interestingly, even supporters of the project acknowledge a degree of toxicity within the cryptocurrency world, with many smaller players struggling to navigate a landscape dominated by influencers and scammers. A spokesperson for Green Dildo Coin remarked that they felt compelled to undertake these viral stunts to gain traction without succumbing to the influence of the so-called “influencer cabal.”
A livestream associated with Green Dildo Coin elaborated on their motivations, claiming that their acts are meant to inspire creativity within the crypto community. They emphasized the need for engagement that brings humor to the often serious domain of memecoins.
However, doing so at the expense of professional women’s sports raises questions that remain unanswered. Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve has voiced her concerns about the implications of sexualizing women in this context, asserting that those responsible should be held accountable for their actions.
