Full quote, from the above link:
"Wussup normal peeps and 14 year old environmental hypocrite trolls that use gasoline in the cars they drive and the planes they fly and throw away double AA batteries every other month! "
H then goes on to hawk the link to some stupid CGI "art" bullshit that would be inoffensive and whatever, if not for the fact that creating it is ghoulishly greedy and selfish, given it's helping propagate/perpetuate a needless act that's destroying the environment further.
He's selling it, for profit, and keeping the money, while using an unnecessarily exploitative and harmful system, while further setting the precident that said system should be encouraged and not criticized. He's even made a second NFT as of this week that is also for sale.
Whether he's doing it all ironically or not, it's still shitty. Someone could yell a slur at a marginalized person "as a bit," but it still can hurt the marginalized person regardless. Doesn't matter if this is a bit, it's still ideologically and ethically shitty.
You know one of the major running gags of his show is harassing random people in the streets of new york right? Like be mad if you want to be mad but how is this the crossing the line moment for you?
His street segments are him doing weird shit and grossing people out/confusing them/being annoying. He's never been outwardly hostile or malicious to anyone, except the shitty rich and reactionary celebrities on the show.
Suddenly being a vocal supporter for a capitalism mode of profit and exchange is much different to me than absurdist pranks.
