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 2 days ago

Displaying that mascot qualifies as large scale mental abuse.

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 4 points 2 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

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

Giant zombie baby from Dead Alive?

[-] EldritchFeminity 16 points 2 days ago

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

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 7 points 2 days ago

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

TIL Swiss cheese model

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 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Because it's very very obviously a fursona

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day 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 2 points 1 day 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 19 hours 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 1 points 15 hours ago

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

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