Crypto is starting to invoke a tribal, emotional response in people now. It's bizarre to see these comments. Scammers scam. Surprise. Unregulated waters are dangerous unless they're tread carefully. Surprise. People using a technology for a completely different reason than it was invented for are ruining it for the rest of us. Surprise.
Should the tribal response really be so unexpected, considering the relentless way Crypto Enthusiasts, especially the NFT variety, hounded every other online community with hype?
That attitude is exactly it though. If you produce tools mostly used by scammers, are promoted almost exclusively by scammers, and the community's answer is washing its hands of any responsibility with 'scammers gonna scam' that's just not impressive. That's a strong case for anyone outside the community treating it as bad faith actors.
