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 agree, had to double check the photo because I thought heres no way its a photo of ears.
Im also not a royalist but thats so hypocrytical of MNHQ . Do they support ridicule of people who use mumsnet aswell?

Rollerbird · 06/05/2023 09:02

Nasty. Take it down please

vinoandbrie · 06/05/2023 09:00

It’s awful. How unpleasant.

Polik · 06/05/2023 08:56

Mean spirited

Just put the crown emoji up Crown

SwordToFlamethrower · 06/05/2023 08:55

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.

MayBeeJuneSoon · 06/05/2023 08:54

MNHQ aren't listening....

paininthesideback · 06/05/2023 08:53

Get rid, mnhq. It's just so mean.

Ollifer · 06/05/2023 08:53

It's pretty hypocritical of Mumsnet to do that when I've had posts deleted that weren't bullying or insulting

Making fun of someone's appearance that they can't change is bullying and it shouldn't be promoted on a site as big as this - I don't care who it is (don't give a shiny shite about the royals)

I am about as far from royalist as it gets and I agree. It's really not on. Mean and nasty jibe. Not cool mnhq.

They've just changed the m into king Charles, who's known for his big ears. I thought it was amusing.

Fucking grow up then!

Is it ok to laugh at people, bully-style now??

Yayasisterhood · 06/05/2023 08:51

It’s horrible. I can’t believe they thought it would be funny? So many threads here talk about the life long effects of bullying as children, something like this gives permission to bullies out there that it’s ok to make fun of how people look. I don’t care about the king, but this is devastating.

Alighttouchonthetiller · 06/05/2023 08:49

That's horrid. Really mean. I'm really quite taken aback, given how much we hear of things 'not being in the spirit' and all.

Please remove it.

hexsnidgett · 06/05/2023 08:49

I hoped they were corgi ears...

Abra1t · 06/05/2023 08:48

'Be kind', remember?

HeidiUpTheMountain · 06/05/2023 08:48

It’s very juvenile and schoolyard bully type stuff. The little crown is fine, but mocking appearance is unacceptable. Please take it down.

Fandabedodgy · 06/05/2023 08:47

Mocking personal appearance isn't funny.

MithrilCostsMore · 06/05/2023 08:47

I think it's awful. Should never have been approved.

cushioncovers · 06/05/2023 08:46

It's mocking someone's physical appearance. If the monarch was a female with big boobs would you put a big pair of them on the logo? What about a big nose or crooked teeth? It's not appropriate.

TheApplianceofScience · 06/05/2023 08:44

As a Republican with a capital R, I agree this is in bead taste.

SummerLakes · 06/05/2023 08:44

They're not mocking insulting him , but everyone with ears that stand out. Upsetting for their families as well who have probably had to deal with the fall out of bullying over the years.

FlappyFish · 06/05/2023 08:42

I hate it. It should go.

determinedtomakethiswork · 06/05/2023 08:42

I agree. I'm not a royalist at all, but this is just making fun of someone's appearance which is nasty.
