Some comments on here have been ridiculous, someone literally said that I should be fine bringing furriers up at work and got lots of upvotes. I hope they’re trolling and haven’t completely lost touch with reality.

Something being perfectly fine and acceptable, doesn’t make it okay at work.

How is this trolling me? it’s literally what I was looking for.

Amazing thank you, this is now something I can champion at work without risking reactions that I’ve gotten in the past.

You could say the exact same about Shibari.

The issue is coworkers perception, how will the perceive it?

If it’s almost certain they will perceive it badly, don’t bring it up at work.

Not my teams job, we won’t get time or budget for that

Whether or not I do is irrelevant, how it will be perceived by coworkers is the whole point.

I will bet all the money I have that most coworkers in a big corporate will find it weird if someone brought up furries at work.

My client wants to ditch US tech and have a Open-Source division, so they are pro self hosting and open source.

It’s government, so they will frown upon that mascot, and won’t choose it as a tool.

Are you for real?

Being trance or gay etc. as perfectly fine to bring up at work, but not furries, especially if you yourself aren’t part of that community. I am not bringing up my kinks at work, or anyone’s for that matter

Lost opportunity for the open source community

Yea I’m for sure not bringing up flurries at work

They dismiss it because it’s seems weird.

It’s not a fight worth fighting for me at work. Got to pick your battles

What URL do I send my coworkers/management to where they don’t run into that logo?

End result: Anubis loses a paying customer and big client that throws tens of millions each year at software projects.

Did you read my post at all?

.net is perfectly fine, and C - Suites won’t frown at it.

Thanks,

Plain and boring sounds great, I’d much rather see us using Open-Source tools than just turn to cloudflare or something, these changes would make it possible for me and others to push for this at work.

Oh my bad, I thought it was just another person pointing me to Anubis’s post about how to remove the logo.

Thanks I will look at that alternative

I am not the problem, I don’t care about the mascot.

It’s incorporating it at work that is the issue.

Yes you might buy a car with a dick and balls logo for personal use, but would you try to convince your managers to buy it for the company?

Thank you, now this is what I was looking for

Jeeeze I do not even begin to know how to respond to what you just wrote.

You completely misread the situation. Nowhere did I ever say I came across as a creep, I’ve never had that in my life.

The picture on the box matters, its absurd thinking it doesn’t

Reducto absurdum: Would you buy a car with a big dick and balls for a logo, but you can pay extra to have it removed?

Thank you, I appreciate that.

People shouldn’t have to jump through that many hoops to recommend something, that’s ridiculous

Open-Source sadly shooting itself in the foot again because of hills they choose to die on.

Strawman

My response was basically something along those lines. But it’s still DOA, because that coworker now has to sell it to their team, and they won’t.

Thanks yea I see there are some reasonable people here in the comments.

Nobody has suggested a solution to my problem, most responses just say that my coworkers need to grow up, or that I need to fight harder at work or some BS.

None of that address the Issue.

Thanks I’ve reached out to them using my EuroSky account on BlueSky

It’s not my business, and it’s not even them making the decisions. it’s coworkers

They won’t crash or burn, they will just send taxpayer money to cloudflare instead of a open-source project.

Zero consequences other then Anubis losing out on business/users

100% couldn’t agree more.

They’d easily pay 1000$ for a tool like this, and I’d be able to sell it to multiple teams. But after my experience recommending Anubis at work, I will simply never recommend it again until they offer something like you have mentioned.

It’s so frustrating.
