I find it really interesting that #bayc holders are ambitiously trying to prove @ryder_ripps wrong so that they can regain some feeling of esteem that comes from following someone blindly and not having to question their authority.
What is going on here? anyone? #rrbayc

The modus operandi here seems to be:
1. You are making me look at this art, and I don't want to, because there is nothing there to analyse
2. Look what @ryder_ripps did, and let me analyse it (wrongly) by saying Ryder is just being blatantly racist.
3. Ryder should stop arting.

4. When u art, you force people to question what they are looking at, and that feels uncomfortable.
5. See, real racism is uncomfortable, why should @ryder_ripps be allowed to do it, why can't I love my monkey picture and believe it's not racist?
Ryder's completed a master move

As I walked up a tremendously steep hill to my next meeting, the weight of the art history book in my backpack started to feel heavy. I was thinking of Marines hiking through the swamps at Camp Pendelton.
I was thinking of when cultures turn to power figures to explain imagery.

I have sat in on a couple of conversations in the #rrbayc spaces, and there seems to be two camps.
One camp wants to look under the surface of art.
the other sees the surface and accuses it of either empty meaning, or sinister undertones.
This side thinks an artist is evil.

For some of you, it doesn't take much self-reflection to consider why thinking @ryder_ripps or anyone making art being evil is a scary thought. But I do want to break it down in simplistic terms, so that the conversation can continue. It shld not stop. It's dangerous to stop it.
âthe greatest secret tumblrâ revealed
I found it and, to be honest, itâs not so secret nor is it great.
A deep dive into the tumblr account Ryder warned us about last July.

Before I begin, Iâd like to preface by saying I do not condone hateful behavior. If u choose to read ahead, please send none his way. That is not my intent, I am sharing this to spread awareness & shine light on someone who some look up to as a âleaderâ.
âWhy involve urself then?â you might ask. Well, I normally wouldnât. However, after watching him harass and borderline stalk people I look up to while attempting to bring down a community full of people I love for months, itâs hard to stay silent.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so is conceptual art the highest form of NFT evolution? @ryder_ripps is bringing this to the attention of the masses with #RRBAYC, which is a conceptual collection based on @BoredApeYC. (đ§”/x)
Letâs start at the beginning: who is @ryder_ripps? A simple google search will provide many answers to this question, all based around the fact that Ryder is an artist. Specifically, he is classified as a conceptual artist based off his past works. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryder_RipâŠ
@ryder_ripps is not new to the art industry, nor is he a new creator. By visiting his website, one can see he has been creating art for quite some time and has a resume full of projects that weâre completed for and/or collaborated with some big names. ryder-ripps.com
There have been some debates over whether Ryder Ripps is stealing copyright (he's not) and whether, as an artist or a collector, we should support him (we should).

And the metadata next to it.
1. the NFT was created to be gamed; it has a system of hegemonic data built into the way the contract interacts with the platform and the auction dynamics
does fine art do this? well, yes, in a way...

In fine art, a lost work of art or a painting that hasn't seen many eyeballs is considered rare.
It's not considered rare by attributes, because people don't look for traits when they bid for fine art. They bid for things like source / provenance and history.
