As loving dumb and ridiculous these people are, if someone dresses up or photoshops themselves as a literal ape, isn’t calling that blackface and racist more racist than the dumb act itself?

Maybe I’m getting old but I wasn’t aware apes had been added to the list of things you were not allowed to dress up as.

Part of it is that the apes are already troubling caricatures with a bunch of racially keyed stereotype features in their traits list, and part of it is that painting your face brown as a white person is just always gonna look like blackface, no matter your intent.

There's a big difference between wearing an ape mask and thinking "oh if I paint my face brown I'll look like an ape"

My guess is no-one actually cared at all that the idiot dressed himself up as his jpeg, let alone called him out on it being blackface and racist.

They're just gleefully playing their own little game of stir-up-the-lefty, and if there is no one taking the bait then they'll just pretend there was, or have a sock puppet do it for them. There's plenty of "hidden" racist and Nazi icons all over this ape poo poo to call them out on, which they want people to do both for self validation and so they can further muddy the water claiming innocence.

I mean they very clearly tried to match the color pattern of their stupid apes and didn’t look like any actual person or group of people I’ve ever seen, so in my eyes it’s about as offensive as my kid getting tiger face paint, but if I’m wrong I’m wrong.

So taking out a loan for an intrinsically worthless asset in extremely volatile fake currency which you then have to pay back by buying the currency in real dollars.. sounds like a solid plan.

It's not racist to say that painting yourself up like a monkey is racist. When you're white there's things you need to be aware of and if you aren't aware of them, you look stupid and racist. There's many points in the process of painting yourself up like a monkey then taking a picture and putting it on the Internet where somebody who knew virtually anything about race relations in America would stop and think "hey I should probably just not do this" and it would've been fine. This guy didn't because he's obviously not too bright, and so it's expected that people will look at him crossways and ridicule him.

That said, blackface is offensive because of how white people used it to portray black people. Usually as bumbling oafs with big red lips and pitch black skin, with every other negative stereotype you can think of, for the purpose of entertaining white people. It's a whole thing, it's not just putting paint on your face that's darker than a certain shade.

Oh that's actually kinda brilliant.

You have to take your meta girlfriend to the meta cafe on dates and buy gifts from the meta mall with crypto, or they leave your rear end.

You have to meet her meta parents at meta holiday events or they leave you. You have to avoid arguing with her meta Qanon uncle at meta thanksgiving or they leave you.

It would be like a spouse that constantly makes you spend your money on pyramid scheme coins.

All of this, of course, dancing around the whole treating women like property issue. But it's not like these meta people can find real girlfriends anyhow.

I think their revenue model is just "sell apes." I mean, they can talk big about creating new ape-based IPs but in the end they're (theoretically, it's crypto after all) pulling down decent money selling useless conspicuous consumption items to the tasteless and terminally online. If they're halfway smart about it they'll have enough money to retire somewhere sunny and without extradition treaties by the time apemania finally dies off.
