why have we got something so mean and nasty on the top of the page today? Why would you be ridiculing someone like that? So unnecessary and unpleasant. Poor guy didnt ask to be put in this position

I reported my own post...🤞

Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight · 06/05/2023 09:35

Yes, I agree, get rid.

Ylvamoon · 06/05/2023 09:34

I hope you take note of all the threds popping up about the logo.

Whoever reads this, get your graphics programme up and get rid of the ears!!!

It's more Viz than Mumsnet.
Totally inappropriate.

Absolutely.

HadalyEve · 06/05/2023 09:27

Is there a way to contact them and bring it to their attention? Perhaps we should all report on a post that says MNHQ delete it!

CurrentHun · 06/05/2023 09:20

Oh just seen that one of the MN founders is an OBE. So they must feel the RF are good for some things. This logo is childish and stigmatising, just change it please.

Are you incapable of understanding how the act of mocking one person's physical appearance impacts others with similar physicality? And by supporting the use in one instance you inevitably contribute to the acceptance of doing it to others in different instances?

Show quote history

Exactly. Its not about Charles needing sympathy, its about normalising the mocking of people's physical appearances over which they have no control. I am sure many people on this site have physical features they were bullied for at school and now feel really self conscious about (for me, it was my height- being very tall) and putting this up there is basically saying its fine to mock others appearances.

I have a couple of friends who have had surgery to pin back their ears because of horrendous bullying at school - how can people justify this?? Fucks sake

CatsKittensCloud · 06/05/2023 09:17

Wish you’d added voting

CatsKittensCloud · 06/05/2023 09:17

Agreed

AnneKipankitoo · 06/05/2023 09:15

It’s crass.

Songlines · 06/05/2023 09:14

Bullying, pure and simple.
Shame on you

I'm sure multi millionaire King of England and head of the church of England, with all his butlers and chefs and yachts and holidays and wants for nothing and parties, gives no shits about a pair of cartoon ears on the mumsnet logo.

No need to be offended on behalf of the most pampered man on the planet.

Boring.

Therealjudgejudy · 06/05/2023 09:12

I'm in no way a royalist but it's totally juvenile and bullying to mock someone's physical appearance.

Take it down

Ifailed · 06/05/2023 09:11

Given the old adage "there's no such thing as bad publicity", I'm pretty sure this'll be picked up by the tabloids.

daisymoonlight · 06/05/2023 09:10

Yep. I dont like the Royals and even I think its out of order. Anyone on this site who was trying to insult someone else based on making fun of their physical appearance would be reported and their comment removed so how on earth is this ok?

Talk about hypocritical. Geez.

Sleepingbeauty2510 · 06/05/2023 09:09

Who designed it? A five year old? That's the only explanation because surely a professional educated adult would not think this was ok.

Littleoxforddictionary · 06/05/2023 09:08

It's not funny or clever. Very ugly and a bit mean.

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/05/2023 09:08

It’s horrible.

HadalyEve · 06/05/2023 09:07

I agree, take off the ears. The man is in his seventies FFS, it’s horrible to keep on bullying him for what he was bullied for as a schoolboy.

I'm no royalist but I was completely shocked to see this.
How awful. How unprofessional for a trusted British company with a large following to think this is in anyway appropriate.

Used to be British!

I remember when Justine and Carrie would post on threads and even make their own

God knows who they have working for them now!

User565394 · 06/05/2023 09:06

Agree. It's mean. Please take it down

Bringonthesunforthewashing · 06/05/2023 09:05

Yep, it’s really awful.

I am not particularly bothered about the royals at all, but this is cruel.

If my kids did that they would be in trouble for being so horrible
