Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[email protected] I feel sorry in advance if another meaning than "Mozilla leadership once again are making clown things" can be interpreted from this drawing.

If it is hurting a community. That's not my intention at all with this comic.

Also, if it has something to do with the makeup symbols or the colors of the hair, it is just inspired/inherited from the original meme (src: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/putting-on-clown-makeup ).

Thank you for pointing it, I hope my answer will participate to disambiguate anything wrong.

@[email protected] thanks for pointing that out. I did not see the reference and I also did not know the original meme until know (which I think is already quite offensive in itself). I think posts like this are a hit in the face of the queer community and I just don't like them.

Bruder / Schwester das ist ein uraltes Meme, einen Clown beinhaltend, ka was du da reininterpretierst, aber mit falscher Repräsentation von queeren Menschen hat das nix zu tun

@[email protected] I sincerly feel sorry to read it. I hope you'll forgive me for haven't been able to anticipate this particular side effect for the audience not knowing the original meme, or not clicking on the ref. 😔

I really thought it would be read just as a tiny joke in front of a news I had hard time to cope (something that happens too often with Mozilla).
