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.

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.

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.

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.

AtChoService · 06/05/2023 06:56

Disgusting imo.

Choice4567 · 06/05/2023 06:56

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

Temporaryname158 · 06/05/2023 06:57

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!

QuintanaRoo · 06/05/2023 06:58

Thought the same, was shocked when I saw it.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 06/05/2023 06:58

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

Gatekeeper · 06/05/2023 06:58

Shameful and sheer lack of respect

1AngelicFruitCake · 06/05/2023 06:58

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

Banoffeepie21 · 06/05/2023 06:58

There are at least two other threads on this topic OP

@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.

I agree, it’s completely inappropriate.

DustyLee123 · 06/05/2023 07:00

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

Whataretheodds · 06/05/2023 07:01

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

Anyolelion · 06/05/2023 07:01

I agree with pp, whoever thought this was a good idea. I'm not a fan of his and won't be watching but it's not OK to make fun of anyone.

DCINightingale · 06/05/2023 07:02

Totally agree OP

LizziesTwin · 06/05/2023 07:02

Not in the spirit of the site and now he’s grown into them. Seems unkind and unnecessary.

Best to do one here though, then they can't avoid it so easily.

LT2 · 06/05/2023 07:03

Oh wow. I hadn't seen it yet. Agreed, I'm shocked they'd think this is OK!

LikeEmeraldeyes · 06/05/2023 07:04

Shame on you mnhq

MuffinToSeeHere · 06/05/2023 07:04

Came to see if there was a thread on site stuff, it's bloody immature and really fucking rude. I'm honestly very surprised that it was not only suggested but that at no point did anyone else involved stop and say errm that's not ok and instead everyone agreed it was acceptable!

Really low blow and inappropriate.

AutumnCrow · 06/05/2023 07:06

Explains some of the decision making on here lately

AprilDecember · 06/05/2023 07:08

Yes this is pathetic.

Agreed.
