I understand there is a reputation at stake. I understand they would become the enemy of the Government, and that probably nopara and the other developers have been so far living off Wasabi. But as I previously said, if my intention was to offer users privacy, no way in hell would I accept to collaborate with the entity they are trying to cover themselves up from. I thought by creating Wasabi there were some risks nopara and everyone else had to assume. One of them is the Government conspiring against them.
If these things are really their concern then they should have thought about it at the start not years later suddenly being worried that a soft dictatorship is going to go against them and their attempts at improving privacy.
That is not just Reddit. I am convinced it is the general mindset of humans. Not sure what they are smoking or how and when the hell did privacy become a crime but things have been going wrong for years now.
To be honest I haven't seen as much brainlessness on bitcointalk as I see on Reddit. But in any case I wouldn't judge humanity by what I read on the internet. Remember that in most cases only a certain type of people are the most vocal.
Take bitcoin price for example. Those who are accumulating and buy more in dips never make a noise when price drops. Only the weak hands who had no understanding of bitcoin and wanted to become rich overnight keep creating topics everywhere about "why has price dropped". In this case you can't make the conclusion that everyone bitcoiner is hoping to "get rich quick" just because all you see on the internet is such subjects.
