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, even knowing "furry" would find these particular designs "objectionable" and worthy of rejecting. They aren't even vaguely fetishized.

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.

The girl looks uncomfortable being next to it too

Displaying that mascot qualifies as large scale mental abuse.

Agreed, @[email protected] would be best if you wrap that image in a spoiler.

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

Giant zombie baby from Dead Alive?

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Because it's very very obviously a fursona

… 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

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