Made us feel like it was time to come out and put an end to all this,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>In particular, Ryder Ripps alleged the BAYC NFT artwork featured racist caricatures of Black and Asian people, and the project\u2019s logo and branding have several nods to certain Nazi symbology and language. The artist also made a BAYC derivative NFT collection called RR\/BAYC as a satire and protest against Yuga Labs. <\/p>\n<p>While the team didn\u2019t address all of the points outlined against the BAYC, it flat out denied the allegations that its logo was derived from the Nazi Totenkopf (skull and crossbones) symbol. It also reiterated that using Apes in the BAYC is a nod to crypto degens and not a racist troll. However, not everyone was pleased with their response, as several points went unaddressed. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">dude\u2019s like \u2018we\u2019re minorities\u2019 and gets some sham cover from the ADL.
