Serious question - where did the whole “NFTs are bad for the environment” come from?

I remember the day like it was yesterday. 

Artists on Nifty Gateway getting roasted left and right.

But what was the source?

Onchain is the new online - FID 206 -  cooprecords.xyz

I have a vague recollection of Tezos influencers pushing that narrative aggressively because their blockchain was PoS already. It’s probably that the source was either them or nearby.

Tezos definitely jumped on the engagement farm with the clean nft movement but I doubt they're the source
