The gender orientation of the firefox logo is something I haven't thought about ever.

What's the point of this?

By the way this is NOT a new Firefox logo. It's just the fox mascot drawing that may be used in other parts of the UI like the welcome screen after a new install, or on social media.

The actual logo remains unchanged.

On top of that nowhere in the announcement are the supposed pronouns mentioned: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/meet-kit/

Actually the whole thing may be bullshit. Literally the only Mozilla reference I can find to Kit's pronouns is a statement given to like one or two blogs, and it says that any pronoun is acceptable.

Kit (he/she/they/them/it) is the user’s constant companion. Wherever they choose to roam, Kit will accompany and guide them with clever, playful encouragement and support — giving the user the confidence to run free.

That's attributed to Mozilla here: https://www.neowin.net/news/firefox-has-killed-its-old-mascot-heres-what-the-new-cute-one-looks-like/

All other references seem to be chuds on X claiming that it's explicitly they/them and acting like Mozilla is making a big deal about that. As if it matters either way.

If you had some kind of reaction to this post you've fallen for culture war bullshit propaganda, congratulations.

Firefox is now exclusive to ternary computers.

What if.... hear me out.... what if we remove the focus on gender altogether? What if we stop engendering things that don't have genders? Like logos... and behavioral attributes...

Waterfox needs to catch up with a gender-fluid fox

Isn't the old mascot/logo completely non-gendered already?

That's stupid, it was genderless before until they brought it up.

The old one was also non-binary. Prove me wrong.

(Honestly, I just don't care. Load the web page and render some JavaScript already)

Maybe it’s meant to run on the old Soviet Setun platform.

It's a fox. I like the fox.

Are telling me they fired the previous mascot to hire a gender minority? Smh

I never knew or thought about the old one's gender.

Has anyone even thought about the gender of the original?

mascots gender says

It's a fucking red panda.

Non-binary PC is just a quantum computer innit?

It uses qubits sorry. Get a quantum computer loser

I have a friend IRL called Kit, who also happens to use they/them pronouns.

At risk of being abrasive...

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

Because it was what before? Why do we care about the gender identity of the fox mascot of a web browser?

Don’t answer, please

Distraction from being a shit corporation.

It's not just a binary. It's a BLOB!

Kit looks more she/her than the OG icon.

Hmm.. ..the silliness continues.

the four genders are 00, 01, 10, and 11.
