to think the Mumsnet 'oops' logo is distasteful?

[PapayaCoconut]

Given how horribly traumatising (and dangerous) it is to actually drop a baby? It hasn't happened to me, but it's my worst nightmare. This 'funny' logo actually makes me feel a bit yucky in the pit of my stomach.

I just thought to myself this morning "that Mumsnet logo with the baby falling down, did I really see that it was it a sleep-deprivation induced hallucination as I was up feeding last night?" Then I realised I'd seen it when the site was having problems.

Haha @FallenSky you're a hero.

I always saw that as a mum playing with her baby, throwing them up and catching them & It's just turned on its side.

Does anything not offend you, and others of the easily offended brigade?

Just because you find something offensive doesn't mean it is.

It’s not a baby. It’s Boris Johnson.

Well this is some over-sensitive safe space bullsh*t.

I’m HORRIFIED it’s VILE I’m utterly DISTRAUGHT at this HENOUS act. DEEPLY DEEPLY offended I am.

Honest.

I can't unsee it now

I've never noticed it. Bit odd now you mention it but eh, whatever.

Anyway, she’s not dropped the baby, the father is laying on the floor, playfully throwing the baby UP to the mum.

As you do.

Haha I noticed this yesterday and I did catch myself at one point going " is that a baby being dropped" but then paid no more attention, more things to worry about

Or or maybe the baby has just shot out and super mum is about to catch it?

Fixed it. You can stop worrying now, the baby is fine

OP, get a grip.

Maybe she's just popped it out and bounced straight back because she isn't first woman to give birth you know

Actually I am concerned about the fake toddler that look like it's on its mums shoulders in the middle.

Quite a dangerous way to transport a child.

I once saw a man crossing the road with a child on his shoulders. He decided to cross quicker and start to jog. He went face first as did the toddler. Thankfully the toddler was fine. But I find the logo triggering.

Then again, maybe I can see it's just a drawing and no real children were hiry in ten making of the logo

were hurt in the making of the logo

Fucking slow phone.

I saw it the same day that child was thrown from the Tate. Did upset me tbh.

Never noticed it before. I think it's funny. Thanks for drawing it to my attention OP.

@FallenSky

I never noticed that's what the logo was before.

Now that I have, can I suggest we don't be too humourless and po-faced about it?

I've always thought the logo looks like a cannabis leaf when it's small on the screen and you can't really make out much detail

It looks like she's reaching out for the baby not dropping.only on Mumsnet

I think everybody has dropped a baby, or a baby has rolled off a sofa, or bumped its head on a frame, or something like that.

Yes, accidents happen. And you're being ridiculous and obsessive.

Crikey, of all the things to get upset about!!

You are overthinking and overreacting. Big time.

Have a biscuit darling.
