Anonymous vs. BAYC

Monday brought a storm other than Hurricane Ian, and we're all on the edge of our seats wondering what's going to happen next.  Anonymous posted a video slamming Yuga Labs with a myriad of allegations including use of esoteric symbolism in BAYC art that they believe is the company's stance on topics such as Nazism, racism, and others.  Anonymous has claimed these allegations are true via research and interviews with figures that studied this symbolism and those possibly with knowledge of the company.  Yuga Labs has denounced these claims, with co-founder Greg Solano stating “[w]e’ve become the target of a crazy disinformation campaign accusing us — a group of Jewish, Turkish, Pakistani, and Cuban friends — of being super-secret Nazis.”

Anonymous can be a scary entity.  They've always claimed to protect citizens and the innocent from the evils and horrors of humanity.  And usually, their actions seem to move in that direction as well.  So this particular claim makes me wonder if Anonymous got it wrong...or if Yuga Labs is actually suspect.  A friend sent me a similar type of video detailing the same allegations against Yuga, and although some of it made sense, I thought "meh, this can't be real".  But now, I'm thinking "uhh could it be?"  We'll see what happens soon enough...
