when hit with the inevitable backlash you'd expect from anyone with a working moral compass, Mr. Adafruit (Phillip Torrone) blamed (checks notes) the misogyny of Mastodon reply guys, because clearly the backlash is all due to the fact that Limor Fried (his married partner) shared the blog.

hey watch this, I can weaponise oppression olympics too, I'm a trans woman from the third world: fuck off with profiteering from your selling out to the planet-destroying plagiarism machine that's proudly empowering ICE and the IDF. it's not your country that will pay the price for your meaningless carbon output to generate nonsense until it looks right. and you brag about it. pega teu fascism-assisted hardware design e enfia no cu. happy never to be an adafruit customer again. assholes.
