Stan Lee’s Twitter account advertised NFTs and Dictionary.com had a word
It’s a little over three years since the death of Marvel genius and all-round top human, Stan Lee. The comic book writer was responsible for such major characters as Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, the Fantastic Four and Ant-Man, but was also known for his philanthropy and promotion of diversity.
As so often happens, Stan’s Twitter account was left open after he died.
On Tuesday, it shared this tweet, promoting NFTs.
Tweeters weren’t impressed.
Absolutely get fucked. If you still follow Stan Lee's account, here's a timely reminder that it's just an advertising space for people eager to get rich off his name. https://t.co/OglZjuIVxw

Using a dead man's platform to promote NFT's that vaguely relate to what he did with his life and career

Dictionary.com decided to have a word.
The verb 'defile' was first recorded in 1275–1325, and comes from the Old French word 'defouler,' meaning "to trample on, violate."
