Why are you making fun of someone's appearance with your logo change

490 replies

Reasonableadjustments · 06/05/2023 06:50

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 think it’s great and hope we can make light of the day and bash Charles a bit rather than targeting women (especially those of a certain colour) like this site often does in the Royal topic

Casuaala · 06/05/2023 09:38

Still no explanation or apology? Sad

MayBeeJuneSoon · 06/05/2023 09:38

Like anyone else on here I can post on whatever thread I like, especially one that's right at the top of active conversations. People will disagree with you. Get over it. 'Love'.

That is also wrong

Two wrongs don't make a right

@Alltheprettyseahorses as if there aren't plenty more threads to interest you! Well, actually, maybe not

They run skeleton staff over the weekend

Won't be until they see themselves in the tabloids

Charles Windsor's ears aren't a disability...

Is there a real problem or is it all just projection for imagined slights against you?

Thread police aren't in the spirit of the site imo. We will all post where we like. I'm not objecting to you posting here am I?

Reasonableadjustments · 06/05/2023 09:48

I really don't think mebeing laughed at and called a spastic and a mong were imagined slights, but you do you.

They have enough that they could respond if they wished. Instead they are seeing how it unfurls & deciding how to position themselves in relation to it, as opposed to just doing the right thing.

It's shocking.

Someone somewhere is probably trying to dial the entire tech team on everyone's day off.

Pretty obvious isn't it...

Personally I'm amazed anyone even noticed the logo me. I'll bet the vast majority of bods on this thread didn't pay any attention to it until the snarling started and jumped on.

wheresit · 06/05/2023 09:50

(And work out how to write a reply on a contentious topic that won't get them into deeper hot water.)

Tagging @MNHQ doesn’t reach anyone.

Does anyone know the tags of the usual mods who work on the boards? If so, can you tag them directly so we reach a person?

Alltheprettyseahorses · 06/05/2023 09:53

That's disgusting behaviour towards you Reasonableadjustments and I won't post on here what I think of the <redacted> who did that to you cos deletion although I'd be very free with my opinion in real life. But that's got nothing to do with an affectionate image of Charles so don't cheapen your experiences by projecting a problem where there isn't one, this is no reflection on you. Although you are equally as important as Charles if not more.

I don't mind it affectionate. What's the difference? It's mocking him for a physical feature he can't change.

Just adding my vote to remove the logo.
I'm shocked and disappointed at this puerile "joke" and tbh I hope the press picks it up and Mumsnet is vilified.
It just makes me feel that Mumsnet the organisation/team actually doesn't consist of many mums any more.

They monitor Site Stuff. And reports have been made.

Have no doubt, they are fully aware of these threads and the concerns

They just can't work out how to respond 😠

EarringsandLipstick · 06/05/2023 09:54

Why is that relevant (to this situation)?

Alltheprettyseahorses · 06/05/2023 09:54

But he's not being mocked! It's shorthand for him.

MayBeeJuneSoon · 06/05/2023 09:55

Really? You think they are struggling to work out what the right thing to do is?

Since yesterday?
