Weird. A real thing that somehow made it through every level... This is truly a remarkable example of the Swiss cheese model in action.

I give you, an eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314945286881

I don't see why any level would go "Oh furries are going to love this, and we can't have that" and change the design.

How many NBA mascots would lose their jobs if we were all so uptight about shit like this?

I feel unsafe looking at that picture.

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Displaying that mascot qualifies as large scale mental abuse.

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 3 points 4 days ago

Agreed, @sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works would be best if you wrap that image in a spoiler.

The girl looks uncomfortable being next to it too

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 12 points 3 days ago

If I'm put in charge, that guy is the first to go.

Based on the photos of the mascots, there's no way they didn't hire a furry to draw those.

It's funny how it's so distinctly "furry" over just "animal mascot" but I can't put my finger on the details that make it so

$50 all in w/ shipping to the US‽

Jesus take the wheel I'm about to make some poor financial decisions

That's Lizzie! She's adorable!!

She's the Paralympics mascot, and a frilled lizard! Her frill is shaped like Australia!

Why would it be a hazard or remarkable or even something special that it "made through"… It's just a mascot, and a good one as well

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Because it's very very obviously a fursona

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

… and?

Why would that be a hazard or remarkable or even something special that it “made through”… It’s just a (furry) mascot, and a good one as well

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

That's not something that's generally appropriate for a government to post, or anyone in a professional setting.

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Because…? In what way is a fursona not "aPpRoPrIaTe"? That literally just describes half of all mascots, furry is essentially just an antropomorphic animal. Again, you haven't given any real reason why there would be anything wrong with this, at all.

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Because a furry is a sexual fetish/kink and a mascot is not typically a fetish or kink.

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I don't see why any level, even knowing "furry" would find these particular designs "objectionable" and worthy of rejecting. They aren't even vaguely fetishized.
