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.
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.
Or nobody moving up the chain wanted to say anything because they thought acknowledging they could recognize what looked like a furry cartoon may infer that they were a furry.
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?
This guy is safe
I feel unsafe looking at that picture.
Displaying that mascot qualifies as large scale mental abuse.
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?
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
TIL Swiss cheese model
$50 all in w/ shipping to the US‽
Jesus take the wheel I’m about to make some poor financial decisions
Lizard kinda cute tho 👀
That’s Lizzie! She’s adorable!!
She’s the Paralympics mascot, and a frilled lizard! Her frill is shaped like Australia!
This is a real banner
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
Because it’s very very obviously a fursona
… and?
That’s not something that’s generally appropriate for a government to post, or anyone in a professional setting.

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

I hate feet. I don’t know how to convey that without sounding like I like feet. I fucking hate feet!
