Is there a rule that all FOSS has to have a gross mascot? It's always a rodent or a lizard and never like a cute dolphin or something

[–] JusticeForPorygon 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I take it you don't know much about dolphins

Dolphins are rapey as fuck. Never heard of a jerboa raping or using other species as fleshlights. +1 for jerboas.

[–] mulcahey 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sorry, but I need some more clarification here... Like how are we determining consent among dolphins and jerboas? How do we know one is being raped and the other is consenting?

[–] PossiblePast 1 points 2 years ago

I'm no wild life researcher but the sexual tendencies of dolphins are pretty widely reported. I'm gonna give jerboas the benefit of the doubt. I think intelligence plays a large factor in this and obviously dolphins are far more intelligent than a rodent.

Always have been

I understand some rodents can be pesty, but like c'mon man, some rodents are downright cute AF, like capybaras, guinea pigs, etc and lizards.... Man lizards are cuuuute! Especially them leopard geckos, those smiles and tail wiggles!

Also, lemmings are cute AF what you on about? Google that shiz!

And the kangaroo mouse dude that I think Jerboa is based off is cute

[–] mulcahey -3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sure, you can style a mouse or lizard to be cute. Disney does it all the time.

But... none of these icons are cute. So... what's the deal? Why?

EDIT: I'm jealous of all the people downvoting this who apparently have never had to deal with rodents

[–] c0mbatbag3l 6 points 2 years ago

Rodents are cute, sorry you don't like them.

The XFCE mouse is super cute.
