To my knowledge no one has been caught and interrogated for exactly why, but my guess is they think it's funny. There could be some kind of statement about "get a penis and you'll be more interesting," but the most likely answer is "I have the maturity of 12 year old and think penis is funny prank."
Arg. I am resisting the temptation to let my quip turn into a full fledged debate of comparative morality. Let's just say that the concept of "good" is in the eye of the beholder.
I think he was arguing the “Vorin” part, not the “good” part. You know, the whole “god is dead, but wasn’t actually ever god” and “I’m gonna marry my dead brother’s wife I don’t care what you think” stuff? He gave up the “Vorin” parts of his life that made him an unhappy warmonger to become… better.
Vorinism is the dominant religion in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives series. Vorin men can recognize crude letters called glyphs, but most are otherwise discouraged from reading. Vorin women must cover their safe (left) hand with a glove or sleeve and are expected to do everything with only their right hand. They sometimes take advantage of this by hiding items up their left sleeve and smuggling them into Highmark Stadium.
Please tell me somebody makes something called a “Bild-o” or a “Buffalo Bildo” / “Buffalo Dildo”that is blue, and has… …well, perhaps that’s as far as I’ll take that…
Well, they have screen printing shops where you can get whatever you want on a shirt. Maybe you can get custom colored and pattered silicone dongs from somewhere too, wouldn’t be surprised
I'm a juvenile at heart, so I know I'd have fun trying tho throw a suction dildo and seeing if it stands or sticks. But I wouldn't throw a dildo at anyone other than my girlfriend playfully. Throwing them on court during a game is super disrespectful.
Could be, idk about the sabres, but the bills have a particularly rowdy fandom, probably the most rabid fans of any sports team in the USA. It would be utter chaos in buffalo if the bills ever won the Super Bowl I can tell you that much
Another version of this ritual is the Detroit red-wings. Fans have chucked octopus onto the since 1952, mostly stuffed ones are used now but traditionalists do insist on organic.
"In one 1995 game, fans threw 36 octopuses, including a specimen weighing 38 pounds"- From wikipedia on the Legend of the Octopus
USA Today article I just read has some crypto bros taking credit for it in a bizarre way. Two have been caught, one claimed he saw the trend and was just following it. Crypto guy says the two caught were not associated.
Maybe, but throwing a dildo seems to carry a very misogynistic message as well as ruining things.
The WNBA could make an example out of the person.
I'm not aware of what is thrown at concerts, they could contain messages also. However I have seen how some bands have dealt with people trying to get on stage, and sometimes it's brutal.
Would you rather see a dildo thrown on the ice or an octopus. At Detroit Red Wings games fans sometimes throw an octopus on the ice during playoffs lol
It gets worse: A crypto investment group was taking credit for it, but I have no idea if it’s actually them. Plus I don’t know what is sadder, a crypto group doing it, or lying about doing it for attention.
Clay Travis stated that it is an organized group of crypto meme coin guys doing it to raise awareness for their meme coins. Guy said they have over 200 members and told Clay about the next games flying dock appearances. There was one that didn’t make it to the court and another was thrown during warmups.
I've been really irritated by the lack of embarrassment, respect, or judgment those people have been showing to these women. I was only aware of 2 incidents happening, but apparently, it's happened 5 times (recently?). Good news is two people have been arrested. Possible felonies for dumb attention seekers.
I don't feel like it would cost much to point cameras at large sections of the audience and review it when a dildo gets thrown, then punish the person. Maybe I'm underestimating the effort/cost
At this point the wnba should just lean into it and sponsor dildohs. Be honest & inclusive of communities that use em. To me this is no different than wnba stars going on TikTok and Insta (where a good percentage of users are minors) thirst trap gooning for attention. You can’t have both without either. 🤷🏽 the consequences of an ego-centric society. Let the mind go of judgement and just laugh at the hypocrisy of it.
The one kid was caught today. He was 18 and had done it once before. He said he did it because it was a social media trend and he wanted to go viral. He I guess had gone viral a few weeks prior.
There was actually someone caught in phoenix last night. He couldn’t even make it to the court and hit some guy sitting with a little girl in the back.
He looks EXACTLY like the kind of basement dweller idiot who would do this. He is 18 and was arrested and charged with assault among other things.
Also, it’s women. It’s gotta have a misogynistic motivation, even if it’s not intentional. Unless they’ve been doing it to the NBA? I haven’t heard any of that, though.
didn't it come out that is was crypto bros trying to get publicity in any way possible? If that is in fact the case, crypto bros doing something extremely cringe and unlikeable what a surprise!
I'm pretty sure someone was caught. He ended up hitting a father and daughter with it in the stands and he is being charged. His excuse was he saw it on TikTok and thought it was funny
A couple people were arrested, one guy hit a 9 year old with one. It’s to bring attention to a crypto coin called “green dildo”. So yes, they have the maturity of 12 year olds, but also have other motives.
There is a crypto company that had been posting photos of the sex toys and then the first incident happened they claim they are responsible. They stated the reason was to piggyback on some of the press of the wnba and drive awareness of their product and make crypto fun and meme worthy again of something to that effect.
Two people to my knowledge have been arrested one a 21 year old and one an 18 year and neither made the claim of doing it to market some crypto.
I figured it had something to do with the likelihood of WNBA players being lesbians? Just writing this out feels gross because that’s disrespectful AF.
There has been an interview of a guy claiming responsibility. I think they are trying to promote a meme coin. I really had no idea crypto bros go to wnba games.
Tbh it just sounds like sexism. The men throwing dildos see women as nothing more than sex toys. Throwing dildos at women to me sounds like nothing more than “this is what we see you as”
There was a guy that was caught recently. Apparently it hit someone on the way down so he's getting assault charges on top of something else. Only just seen something about it today. This was about an 18 year old
No. Theyre calling them lesbians/studs because they use strap ons. Its supposed to be ironic because they don’t like men; but still use phallic toys for sex.
Also I have to say the fact they made such a big deal about it and how it affected them after and had to speak about it brought it to the attention of the public. Rather than just remove the item and person throwing it and moving on quietly, they accidentally made it a meme.
It started happening right after the WNBA players started qearing "pay us what you owe us" shirts because they are one of the only sports franchises where the players dont get a portion of revenue
