The Solana Foundation pulled a contentious advertisement late Monday, which was widely condemned for its anti-queer sentiment. The ad was removed almost nine hours after it was perceived to be leveraging societal divisions to increase conference participation.
The controversial advert depicted “America” in a therapy session. The personification of the nation expresses a desire to think about progressive topics like technology, cryptocurrency, and space exploration. However, his therapist encourages him to concentrate on pronouns and the creation of new gender identities.
After facing intense backlash, the ad was taken down by the Solana Foundation.
