really sad to see the vitriol and hate towards the baddies for something that was meant to be satire (we even included a disclaimer at the beginning)
the video was meant to be a satire of MTV cribs used to highlight and over exaggerate the stereotypes of women in the space. this is something baddies has always done.
somethings to clear up: baddies is not berachain and we are not funded by berachain. not that i need to say this because it doesn’t matter but all
the women who attended the event *are* in the crypto space and work in crypto.
⁃ we did not helicopter airdrop in a pizza oven
- the rug cost $100
⁃ entire event was under 20k
⁃ we had a 1.5hr defi workshop
⁃ many women new to crypto attended
⁃ the crest cost $3
⁃ the parking garage in question, was the hotel staff parking lot
⁃ the robes are not cashmere, they are from ikea
⁃ the pillow cases are not cashmere (from ikea)
⁃ we don’t change our nail colour based on our mood
- we handmade a lot of the decorations
i’m always open to learning and growing as i never want to cause more harm to anybody in the ecosystem. the goal of baddies is to create a space where you feel
confident to be yourself. you don’t have to hide or minimize aspects of yourself because you need to fit into a mold. you can be CUTE and SMART. these things are not mutually exclusive.
women in the space are often asked if they are ‘paid to be here’ or they must do nothing all day, when in reality this couldn’t be more far from the truth.
