Subscribe to our Newsletter today The provocative image associating Trump with both the dildos and the meme company is likely an effort to exploit the current crypto/dildo frenzy after a group of cryptocurrency traders claimed responsibility for the green dildo-tossing.On Thursday, an anonymous spokesperson, @Daldo_Rain, told USA Today that a group of crypto enthusiasts is responsible for the misogynistic pranks that have plagued the WNBA over the last two weeks. With fevered coverage of the incidents hitting critical mass, the group announced the launch of Green Dildo Coin (DILDO).Whether or not the dildo-throwing was a prank gone viral or a coordinated PR campaign, WNBA players and coaches are not pleased.Its super disrespectful, said Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williamsafter an August 1 incident at a game.

I get the jokes, and things can be funny, but it just gets to a point. So like, Im just really over it, and I know other players are over it.Trump Jrs meme is a distillation of the jokey misogyny underlying the green dildo campaign, and the manosphere thats reveling in it. The WNBA is an obvious target for right-wing insults, providing a MAGA trifecta target made up of women, women of color, and lesbians.The message behind a sex toy in particular is pretty unambiguous, Glamour magazine opined. The intent is to sexualize and demean the women players because they are women. Andthatis nothing new at all. The dildo perpetrators are telling women that they dont belong on the court and that their athleticism isnt as valuable as their sexuality. This is misogyny, plain and simple, said Cosmopolitan. Its time for NBA players to stand in solidarity with their female counterparts and call this behavior what it is: unacceptable, sexist, and detrimental to the entire sport.As of yet, two men have been arrested for throwing the sex toys onto WNBA courts: Kaden Lopez and Delbert Carver.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
