Crypto group says it orchestrated sex toy tosses in WNBA games

[demmiblue]

A self-described crypto enthusiast told ESPN he is part of a group that orchestrated recent sex toy stunts that have disrupted at least three WNBA games in the past 10 days.

The man, who spoke on the condition of anonymity over videoconference Wednesday, said that the stunts were meant to market a crypto coin that his online community created. The WNBA and all its "controversy," he said, made the league a logical target.

"It was more or less like an opportunistic approach to, you know, what is already trending," he said. "Where is there already controversy and how do we intercept some of that attention?"

The man, who uses Lt. Daldo Raine as his username on X -- a nod, he said, to the Brad Pitt character in the movie "Inglourious Basterds" -- kept his camera off and refused to give his name or age during the call with ESPN. The group, he said, wants to reclaim the creative and community aspects of the crypto world.

"We wanted to really make memes funny again," he said.

1. a sex toy themed crypto currency?

and they want to be billionaires because that is a great idea that advances humankind?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Hating women is the in thing today.

[Iris]

6. "We really wanted to make memes funny again" pretty much sums that up.

[MrsCheaplaugh]

14. "So let's attack women. Always good for a laugh. Ha ha ha..."

[Iris]

19. Right? Idiots.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Are these guys arrested (disorderly conduct) and ejected from the games?

[Irish_Dem]

7. Of course not. Hostile evil males are the ruling class now.

[bdamomma]

9. I hope

that changes with "Hostile evil females will be the ruling class again!"

[Irish_Dem]

11. Men have been in control for millions of years.

Time for them to take a time out and let women run the world for a while.

First law passed will jail men who impregnate women.
Women will no longer go to jail or left to die because they are pregnant.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Modern archaelogical evidence shows there have been matriarchal societies as recent as a couple thou years ago. nt

[Irish_Dem]

17. A drop in the bucket and aberration.

Men have almost always had complete control over women.
Maybe thrown a few crumbs to keep them docile.

[MichMan]

24. My nephew and his wife had a child a year ago and are expecting another

Can you explain why you think he should be put in jail?

[Irish_Dem]

26. If his wife is threatened with jail or death because of a miscarriage,

your nephew is the one who should go to jail.
He caused the crime.

There is absolutely no argument in the world that will convince
me otherwise so save your energy.

[MichMan]

29. Great way to get the male vote

"First law passed will jail men who impregnate women"

Arrest every father and jail them. Not only do the children now not have a father, but their mother has to
raise them with no help; financial or otherwise.

Trump wouldn't even need to change birthright citizenship, you would take care of that in one fell swoop.

[Irish_Dem]

34. I am done making nice with these bastards.

They can vote in hell as far as I am concerned.

[bdamomma]

31. Irish_Dem

I believe these are "damaged" men, who have deep mental issues, and want pure revenge on all ideologies that they cannot deal with in their own heads. Like grow up!!!!!!

[Irish_Dem]

35. Yes they are mentally ill narcissistic psychopaths.

Very dangerous.

They probably don't even believe in any ideology.
Just an excuse to destroy and torture women.

[EYESORE 9001]

13. How about, 'righteously hostile'

That ‘evil’ schtick has got to go.

33. WNBA fan arrested after striking man and his 9-year-old niece with sex toy during Mercury's win over Sun

https://www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/wnba-fan-arrested-after-striking-man-and-his-9-year-old-niece-with-sex-toy-during-mercurys-win-over-sun/

Kaden Lopez, an 18-year-old at the center of alleged involvement in the latest sex toy situation, was arrested this week following Tuesday's Suns vs. Mercury game, according to Fox 10 Phoenix. This comes after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham sounded off on X after she was nearly hit with an object during Tuesday night's Indiana vs. Los Angeles matchup.

Lopez was reportedly detained by Phoenix police inside PHX Arena after allegedly hitting another fan and his 9-year-old niece with a green sex toy. Lopez appeared in court Wednesday after he was booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct, assault and public display of explicit sexual material.

The Phoenix Police Department confirmed the arrest to the New York Post and said the Maricopa County Attorney's Office will make the final decision on prosecution.

20. Several have been arrested and banned from future games.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. Two have been

Since then, two people have been arrested in connection with the sex toy stunts in two cities. Delbert Carver, 23, of Marietta, Georgia, was arrested Aug. 1 for allegedly throwing a green sex toy onto the court at the end of the Dream's home game against the Mercury. According to police records, Carver was detained after trying to flee and he confessed to throwing the first sex toy July 29 as well. He faces counts of disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure and criminal trespass, according to law enforcement records.
...
An 18-year-old man, Kaden Lopez, was arrested at PHX Arena in Phoenix during the Mercury-Connecticut Sun game. Court records say Lopez removed a green sex toy from his sweatshirt pocket, threw it and hit two spectators, including one minor. After the toss, he attempted to leave the building. An arena volunteer witnessed the incident, followed Lopez and tackled him.

The man ESPN spoke to provided Lopez's name before his name was made public and said Lopez was part of the coordinated stunt. Lopez is charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault. A felony charge of public display of obscene material was dropped. Lopez was celebrated as a "hero" and "legend" in the group's Telegram chat.

I'm glad ESPN seems to have not mentioned the crypto coin name, since they wanted publicity. They must think there are a lot of fellow idiots out there, if this is the kind of publicity they think is good.

[Celerity]

25. Kaden Lopez looks exactly how you would expect

Ultra incel level 11

[MichMan]

23. I doubt they are doing it themselves

[Srkdqltr]

3. That is really stupid. Probably all bull****. How do we know he is telling the truth?

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. "The truth" - probably not, totally. But he apparently named one of the arrested guys before his name became public

so it does seem he's involved in some way.

[mwmisses4289]

4. Hmm...Wonder how long before cyberslueths

out him?
As I don't follow sports, what controversy is he blathering about?

[FSogol]

10. The controversy is women playing sports is becoming

profitable and more popular and the little incels can't handle it.

[Paladin]

8. "condition of anonymity"

In other words, a chickenshit motherfucker---who made donald trump jr. very happy...

[GreenWave]

12. Daldo the dildo.

[Johonny]

16. Tax and regulate crypto

These losers have gotten far selling snake oil to suckers. Time to eat the rich.

[Torchlight]

18. A person who takes pride in their good works

will never speak of it on the condition of anonymity. The need for anonymity appears to imply shame in this case this... not exactly what I'd consider a good meme, but then again, I'm not aware of daily trends.

[Solly Mack]

27. Silly me. Of course it's the flying dicks that make memes funny again.

Hitting women with dildoes is simply hilarious!

How did I not know that?

Asswipes.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. So childish, offensive and misogynistic that 37-year old Don Trump Junior couldn't resist joining in

See https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220544738

And he thinks people are "calling" for him to run for President: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-jr-presidential-run-2028-b2755221.html

[Prairie Gates]

30. Imagine reading this as a missive from the future 30 years ago

You'd literally have no idea what any of it meant. Every single sentence would be a mystery.

[lame54]

32. The right USED women's sports to go after a bigger enemy...

Trans
Now it's time to put them back in their place
These people are awful
