I think it's interesting seeing how many people are defending Daan on Insta, fair enough it's probably mostly trolls and a couple of kids trying to be edge lords but I think we have to come to terms with the fact that skateboarding is no longer and inherently leftwing/outsider/tolerant/open minded pastime. We're currently in the middle of the Fourth big wave of skating (70's/80's back to the future/police academy wave/90s Tony hawk wave and now Olympics etc) and with these waves brings a lot more people who wouldn't normally pick what was considered to be an outsider hobby. Looking back on the Jason Jessee incident, there are A LOT of guys in their 40s with a wall full of 80s/reissue boards who all think what he's been up to is fine and probably agree with Daan about LGBTQ issues being brought to the forefront being too much to take. There are also a lot of similar people from the Tony Hawk boom who are getting old enough to share the same viewpoints (I know it's a generalisation but most of the right wing/Quanon/Pro Trump accounts I see posting on skate pages seem to be guys aged 25-50). It's the same reason that Nazi shop that has a head on here can exist and the same reason Indy/Santa Cruz etc do so well. I think we'e reaching a point now where there will be a few companies who are open about supporting this stuff and will do well cos there's such a big consumer base for them. Can't see the major sports brands allowing riders to publicly have these opinions but there will definitely be some hardware/apparel brands popping up. Rollers seems to be going that way of a right wing edge lord image, they won't be the last or the biggest I don't think.
