Everyone's complaining that this doesn't do anything and is counter productive, but you know what this looks like to me?
Propaganda of the deed. Someone will look at this and think "I know better things to spray her superyacht with than paint..."

The bottom of the ocean would be pretty hard to clean.

DoctorTYVM @lemmy.world Yeah, then her servants would have to start filing paperwork and have another yacht pulled out of storage while they design the new one.

Not if the bottom-of-the-ocean thing happens when the oligarch in question is on board.

andrewta @lemmy.world As an added bonus lots of chemicals and crap will be put into the environment.
Yup this sounds productive to vandalize someone's boat.
