To think the Mumsnet coronation logo is quite mean?

[AdaBrady]

Disclaimer: I’m not British and have no skin in the monarchy game, but I do think the ears are a bit much.

just reminds me of spitting image

It's what I'd expect from the mumsnet site - it must have been the coven shift who thought it up.
Just unnecessary.

It's not laugh out loud funny but it's great! But I absolutely dispise Charles and Camilla.

Agree with others. Dislike the monarchy but dislike this cartoonish attempt at humour. I never mock anyone’s appearance, not even dictators or other disgusting people. It’s too easy, immature and cruel.

Another one for the record saying whatever your thoughts on the royals, body shaming isn't ok.

I generally think this platform is great but this graphic is a misstep HQ, please remove the ears.

It's awful. Thought the days of commenting on appearances, let alone taking the piss were beginning to be behind us. Did MNHQ never leave the playground?

I’m amused it was even thought of as ok. Refreshingly non PC. Mean. I don’t care as the man is a chump.

I don’t like it.

Really disappointed in the site for thinking this was a good idea. It’s so dated and unkind.

I hadn’t noticed but agree with majority vote yanbu, it’s juvenile

I’m not a royalist but using anybody’s physical appearance to define them in mocking way is never acceptable.

Definitely a poor judgement call from the site team.

Yuck, how unkind MNHQ.

YABU. I would say "cheerfully irreverent"
The monarch has a position of enormous privilege and unearned seniority. "Mean" is a word to use if someone with greater power and influence makes fun of someone with lesser power. It is not an appropriate word to use in this circumstance. The higher one is, the more important it is that it's ok for comedians and satirists can be rude about you. People being rude about those at the top, without fear of censure or reprisal, is a vital indicator of a free society and any move to suppress it would be very worrying, therefore people being rude about those at the top of the tree are performing a vital service, showing us all that the fascists haven't taken over yet.

I’m sure a crown would have done if they even needed to change it at all!

It’s brought back horrible memories of being bullied as a child about my own ears where people drew even bigger ones on my picture at school. Other children used to sing a song about my ears being able to be tied in a knot.

I had my ears pinned back at the age of 12 and took about 5 years to fully heal. As an adult I wouldn’t be bothered by those comments now but I think it affected me so much as a child that this has dragged up those memories and the pain it caused.

Charles may be King, but he’s also human and I can imagine he’s spent his whole life having people mention his ears.

Charles and Jimmy Savilie were close friends. Perspective please.

Yeah, but we're not 'allowed' to find that funny anymore

🙄🙄🙄

Jugs, I mean Charles, really isn't going to be crying into his cornflakes over it & children shouldn't be on MN.

grips need got FFS.

This is a parenting website as MN often remind us, it's not a satire website, Spitting Image or comedians website where people choose to go for this sort of thing, perhaps they thought it would bring more traffic like the sex topic

Ugh. Not cool MN

If we posted something like that about another poster it'd be removed for breaking talk guidelines, and rightly so.

Shitty behaviour, sort yourselves out MNHQ

Read some of the threads on your parenting site by parents whose kids are being bullied, then apologise and grow up

Wow. That's 'not in the spirit' much, is it

It goes some way to explaining some of the dreadful moderation in the Royal Family section

I liked the crown. Not the ears.

bloody hell yanbu. Infantile

It’s absolutely in the spirit of this site… This is the meanest forum I’ve ever been on!
