Why are you making fun of someone's appearance with your logo change

Can I ask why you've changed the logo to be big ears to poke fun at King Charles?

I'm not a royalist but I don't think making fun of someone like this for their appearance is really fair.

Yep totally inappropriate. Who thought this was a good idea?

DustyLee123 · 06/05/2023 07:00

Not a fan of Charles or his second wife, but I agree.

I agree, it’s completely inappropriate.

@Banoffeepie21 as I said on one of them, I hadn't seen them and I checked site stuff to see if there was a thread here before I posted this one.

There are at least two other threads on this topic OP

Your very quick to say things aren’t in the spirit of the site usually!

Gatekeeper · 06/05/2023 06:58

Shameful and sheer lack of respect

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 06/05/2023 06:58

Not a fan of the man, but this logo is outrageous.

QuintanaRoo · 06/05/2023 06:58

Thought the same, was shocked when I saw it.

Inappropriate and if it was done to a woman who had a large stomach etc it would be torn to shreds. Please remove it mumsnet!

Choice4567 · 06/05/2023 06:56

@mnhq more than 1 thread on this now. Please remove the logo

AtChoService · 06/05/2023 06:56

Disgusting imo.

Come on MNHQ, you’re better than this, surely!
The crown is fine, the ears aren’t.

Not a royalist, not an admirer of KC in any way, won’t be watching the Coronation, but I’m also not a fan of lazy mean jokes based on physical appearance, no matter who they are aimed at.

SmirnoffIceIsNice · 06/05/2023 06:55

I'm not a fan of Charles but find this logo puerile and disrespectful. MN should be ashamed for doing this.

Catlord · 06/05/2023 06:55

I commented on another thread but in case this is seen on Site Stuff, I agree. Not cool to be making fun of a feature someone's had a lot of mick taking about over the years. Not a royalist either.
