What, what gender was the original logo? Did anyone here even think of the firefox logo having a gender? Or am i just out of touch?
Classic masculine fox logo got cancelled for not having pronouns. We’re thriving.
I often found myself thinking of the Firefox’s dangling balls.
It was engendered, and no.
The balls were cut off along with the legs in the logo revamp a couple years back.
Assigning a gender identity to a browser icon will surely change society.
So brave
Brainlets are getting pissed off over the gender pronouns of a cartoon fox while the real thing to be pissed off about is that this mascot represents their intention to go all-in on shoving AI features into Firefox. Kit is going to be their Claude, Siri, “Hey Google”, etc.
It’s interpreted.
Firefox has been rewritten as a Perl/Tk script.
Even I, fluent in both, am appalled at the idea.
This is how you do a non gendered mascot, it’s clearly a fox. Fucking Salesforce and its horrible “Astro” which has no gender, also, no ethnicity, wears several costumes on top of each other AND has no mouth.
It’s the perfect corporate identity : a being deprived of cultural origin, identity and opinions.
“Astro” which has no gender, also, no ethnicity, wears several costumes on top of each other AND has no mouth.
… And it must scream … Because it’s involved with Salesforce.
Why the fuck does Firefox need non binary mascot?
It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.
What was particularly binary about the old mascot?
This is not the logo, it’s a new mascot. Firefox did not have a mascot before, just a logo.
Who talks to a mascot?
Was war denn das alte Maskottchen? Das Tier im Logo hätte ich zumindest nie als ein spezifisches Geschlecht bestimmen können.
Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:
I think we should just rename the browser Transfox, Pridefox or Queerfox and get it over with.
And develop the idea of colorways to allow users to express themselves even more, by having costumes (themes) that feels sexy. Perhaps some naked feets in there.
