Edit: As @bdonvr@thelemmy.club points out below

  1. This is just a mascot and is not a new logo
  2. The blog referencing Mozilla’s statement on the mascots gender says, (he/she/they/them/it), use whatever pronoun you prefer.

At risk of being abrasive...

I see blue checkmarks, I downvote. Nothing personal. But I don't want to support that even indirectly.

    Good instinct. Pirat_Nation is a grifter/ragebaiting account. No one should be giving him visibility.

    I mean, yeah... It's a blue checkmark account.

    At this point, if you're paying for extra engagement on Twitter, that is beyond "benefit of the doubt." It seems safe to assume its some kind of attention farm.

    Eh at this point I'm just sick and fucking tired watching sexuality become nothing but marketing bait. People's sexuality and gender are becoming nothing but a two cent market gimmick and it's fucking insulting.

    This isn't cool representation! It's hey lgbtq people your stupid and fucking easy. Look we can use the right words. Trust us and buy our shit.

    It's just the fucking corporatization of rainbows in June all over again.

    It's not just corporations. It's influencer-grifters like Pirat_Nation.

    ...And, to be blunt, reposters who further spread the ragebait, like OP.

    The platforms, ultimately, are what facilitate "marketing bait." But I dunno what to do about that, as human being simply cannot help themselves once they see stuff like that. It works, apparently.
