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

[Reasonableadjustments]

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.

not a royalist either but this is not about one person, it’s about all of us who’ve been laughed at for “abnormal” physical features.

MN is an ableist, racist cesspit at times - enabled by the attitude of those at MNHQ.

How did the idea for that logo even get off the ground? How many times do we have to be treated like idiots?

And when we finally DO get a response, it'll just be another thing they say "oh sorry it was an intern/bot/man/ghost/our bad" lulz soz ladeez.

Like some others I signed up at femvox a few months ago and more or less forgot about it. I was going to suggest a revolt and that anyone else fed up with this come with back there me but .....

I wish could believe it would make a difference to the spirit of this site. Whatever it's meant to be.

In wholeheartedly agree.

No one should be poked fun at due to how they look or speak etc.

I thought this sort of childish bullying had been put in the past.

Get rid of it.

It’s unnecessary and in poor taste mocking someone’s physical appearance.

Not cool

Not kind .

Multiple threads about this now.

I’m echoing the other people decrying this infantile mockery. I’m no royalist but equally think this is inappropriate and unpleasant. Not what I would expect from mumsnet.

Why?

I'm a republican but find this logo really mean spirited and offensive

Are you responding to a different thread? It's not about views on KC

So because people used to laugh at me and call me names, that's ok now on mumsnet. Basically. Because other people thought it was funny.

Makes me wonder what IS in the spirit of the site....

Find it hard to believe that the offensive logo is still in place, it needs to be removed

This is vile, not funny a bit and as mumsnet would say, not in the spirit of the site.

How can any disabled person trust mumsnet now when they report ableism, after this?

It's absolutely awful. @mnhq this should be removed asap

MNHQ so hypocritical it’s ridiculous. I’ve been using the site less and less due to their policing and ‘not in the spirit of the site’ business constantly. Than this openly mocking someone based on appearance.

MNHQ - do better

Wow I’ve only just noticed that horrible new temporary logo. Whoever thought that was ever a good idea isn’t a believer in the ‘spirit of MN’.

MNHQ you need to change it back asap, would you allow a thread mocking someone’s appearance to stay up after so many complaints?

Please remove @MNHQ this is so inappropriate and in such bad taste!

I think it says something horrible about this site. Physical meanness is horrible. Why pick on it? And what next, someone’s big nose, flat chest, cankles?

The issue mnhq now have is the night watch can’t delete rhe threads, more will just pop up, and this is likely going to hit the media, about how the users were offended about mnhq talking the piss out of someone’s physical features

overall this is a lose lose. I’m sure there will be a statement saying no offence was meant, we will remove the ears, etc as soon as whomever can do that gets out their pit.

Well this is it. Posters saying how funny it is, wouldn't be laughing if it was taking the piss out of someone missing a limb, in a wheelchair, obese etc. By keeping this logo, it's showing it's okay to take the piss out of someone's appearance.

I’m a quasi-Republican - like the clothes and bling, hate the unearned privilege, not sure I’d trust any government to replace them with something sensible. I don’t have any strong liking for Charlie-boy. But ffs, the man can’t help his ears! And speaking as someone who was bullied at school for my appearance - ‘hilarious’ jokes like this hurt. And no, he won’t see it. But others will.

At least I guess we know now where school bullies go to work when they grow up. Mumsnet.

This

Such a horrible logo.

Yeah, not super. A misfire from MNHQ. They do need to revert the logo and an apology wouldn't hurt.

Disappointing.

I’ve just noticed this - bloody hell. Totally inappropriate. Since when has it been OK to mock someone’s appearance?

Why has this not been removed given all the negative feedback? Is it linked to sponsorship or some other financial deal?
