      Hi @mpbeerco. The article about Bikini Atoll shared on your website is about my PhD research. When I first heard about Bikini Atoll beer I thought, “wow, what a tasteless name.” After reading your response to criticism you’ve received, my opinion of your company is even lower.https://twitter.com/TaotaoTasi/status/1161223649149562880 …

      The Manhattan Project Beer Company @mpbeerco is selling a Bikini Atoll beer and all of Pacific social media is on fire. To put it in perspective, for Oceania people this is on par with using school shootings or 9/11 as a marketing scheme. pic.twitter.com/9YyWOaHeAo

      It’s one thing to make an ignorant mistake, like naming a beer advertised as a fun, hot-girl-summer drink after a place where the U.S. military forced people from their homes, left them to starve, and destroyed the place so badly that their descendants still can’t live there.

      And I do believe this was a mistake caused by lack of awareness. The fact that the article you link as a "history" of Bikini was about my research on the corals is a good indicator. That article doesn’t begin to cover the atrocities of the nuclear program in the Marshall Islands.

      So, the name was a bad idea and you should feel bad. But it’s not the end of the world.

      However, it’s another thing to see tweets from Pacific Islanders explaining just how weird and insensitive your choice of beer name is, and to entirely dismiss them. That intentionally perpetuates a lack of respect for the people of the Marshall Islands.

      Your official response is a really, really bad take and it makes me question your capacity to feel bad about anything, honestly.pic.twitter.com/6Wbpg8wxZi

      I hope that you can take a second to put aside your defensiveness and instead listen to personal accounts of the lives affected by nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll. You might then recognize how inappropriate the name Bikini Atoll is for a beer inspired by “summers at the pool.”

      Here’s just one account of a life affected by Castle Bravo, the largest nuclear test conducted at Bikini, and the largest bomb the U.S. has ever detonated. There are many others, go find them.https://hyphenmagazine.com/blog/2019/05/marshallese-americans-commemorate-73-years-exile …

      Replying to @EloraHL @mpbeerco

      Elora thank you for conducting research especially on corals (my preferred field!) in the islands. We appreciate you. Also thank you for standing with us together and saying something. It means a lot because we are used to having such pushback from non-islanders, it's amazing.
