Does the character of the whale change things?
Hardly. No one is saying that what they did isn't a very shitty thing to do but that's blockchain for you. If you designed the system badly and someone exploited it the fault is always on you, not on the bad actor.
I wonder if the community would have such an appetite for airdrops if the had to KYC for them?
While it sounds crazy for airdrops like this one there is no other way for now. Either KYC everyone or deal with the consequences later.
