The resurfacing of intolerant and hateful tweets - and the defense of their contents by their author - has showcased an ugly side of web3. Both in that, they are coming from a prominent individual in the space, and because of the many individuals visibly and vehemently defending what was said on the grounds of “freedom of speech”. There has been a lot of calling out and standing up from the queer community, but not enough from organizations and allies outside of it. The individual has not just attacked queer and trans people but women’s right to choose, black rights, sex-positive people, and more. And yet there are people defending his right to spread this hate and his use of his platform to do so.
