I swear I like Base as an actual product but it's funny how the culture can be off-putting to women from both directions: "come to our BuildHer lunch!" LinkedIn bullshit, then simultaneously porn-brained memecoin going viral, like congrats that's the full spectrum of ew

elaborated on X about why I find this disgusting: @jessepollak controls partnerships and hiring decisions at Coinbase. he cannot be casually endorsing misogynistic messages like "Base is for pimping" and expecting professional women to accept that

@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

to be clear, I'm not against the original art — I'm against Jesse using it to promote Base under the auspices of his job as a Coinbase executive

to use a somewhat dramatic comparison, Trump was not wrong, factually, when he said "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy."

like that isn't incorrect, but it's still not okay that he said it. whereas it would be different if that were written on a graffiti canvas in some punk gallery. the context matters

art is fair game, but marketing is trickier
