【Solana's advertisement content sparked controversy, promotional video removed】

---------- Preview ----------

PANews March 18 news, Solana released a promotional video for its May conference in New York on Monday, but it was criticized for being disrespectful due to its content related to gender issues, leading to strong controversy, and was deleted within hours. Although the official has taken it down, the video is still widely circulated on the social platform X. In the video, a character named "America" is undergoing treatment for "Rational Thinking Syndrome," during which the therapist asks her to "create a new gender" or "focus on pronouns." The character responds: "I want to lead global technological innovation and build an on-chain ecosystem, rather than invent a gender." This content was criticized as disrespectful to gender and queer communities. Several industry insiders expressed their dissatisfaction, with Cinneamhain Ventures partner Adam Cochran calling the advertisement "absolutely unbelievable," while former Solana Foundation director David McIntyre stated that Solana could have conveyed a more positive message instead of making jokes about serious social issues. The Solana Foundation previously stated its commitment to "diversity, equity, and respect," but has not yet made further comments on this incident.
