But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.
Im new to Lemy, this is a top post on my fyp… Is everything supposed to be that bad?
OK? So don’t make it so fuckable
This is the green M&M all over again
https://mms.fandom.com/wiki/Ms._Green
In addition to the visual changes, the characters’ personalities were also updated. Ms. Green, known for her self-awareness and outgoing nature, now has a more inclusive and friendly demeanor. The redesign aimed to emphasize her confidence without the previous overt focus on femininity and sexuality, which had been a point of contention among audiences. This change was part of a broader effort to reduce the sexualization of female mascots and promote a more progressive representation.
Huh.
I think they are referring more to the (really fucking stupid) backlash against those changes by the Fox News crowd.
They tried to make it a culture war thing. The alleged “sexiness” of a cartoon M&M being reduced. They flipped their shit.
You can’t tell me it wasn’t intentional

I dunno if a beauty salon was maybe the best setting to use for your ad, Kiwibank.
Considering I’ve never heard of Kiwibank until now, the advertising is working.
Maybe just not working as they intended…
Is it a sperm bank company?
great pivot! They really should…
No! No, I can work with this
John Oliver is going to run so hard with this.
Baaaaaaddie alert!
Why did they give a sheep eyeliner?
username checks out
=)
Also that Snoop album Doggystyle.
he has eyes for small canids.
This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner
Other Bluesky furry accounts have accused Kiwibank of censoring sexy sheep art that wasn’t even connected to Buck in any way, essentially making their work collateral damage in a war over a reputably fuckable farm animal from New Zealand.
The DMCA is out of control
Since when does the DMCA apply in Aotearoa?
The Spinoff has seen several of the takedown requests, which were issued under the American Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). They were sent out by Christopher Young, a partner at the prominent law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts who specialises in intellectual property law. The notice viewed by The Spinoff accuses 10 accounts, including @jestermaxxing, of having “taken Kiwibank’s distinctive Buck image and used it to make highly sexualised and inappropriate copies which infringe the Kiwibank copyright”. X appears to have complied with the complaint.
DMCA takedowns are valid regardless of what country they come from I think, and both Twitter and Bluesky are based in the US
The fallout appears to be spreading. “I want to fuck the National Bank horse,” says one account.
I’m fuckin dead
Something about beating a dead horse
Beating off one at least.
On the fucking nose:
Kwikbank: where men are men, and sheep are nervous
Bluesky’s thriving furry community started posting their own images of her. Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.
Journalism is dead
This isn’t journalism, it’s an ad. I hadn’t heard of Kiwibank until right now.
I assume that unless someone lives in New Zealand, that they probably aren’t going to be using Kiwibank. They appear to only do business there.
There’s something people here don’t understand
When something happening in New Zealand gets global attention, everyone in the country takes notice
Kiwis wouldn’t pay attention to the ads, but the instant that they get overseas eyes involved, they’ll be all over it

Why are you repeating yourself
😂
True. They’re also owned by the NZ government, actually.
It’s a bank owned by the New Zealand government, so if you’re not based in New Zealand, that’s not a surprise.
Kiwi should’ve given that away, duhhhh.
I took the commenter’s implication to be that True Journalists would have looked into the images and been able to confirm if they were, in fact, pornographic.
I didn’t go to school for 4 years for a dying field to stare at degen porn of bank mascots
If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life
Eh, she’s ok but she’s no Judy Hopps.
Before Judy Hopps there was Lola Bunny, and before Lola Bunny there was Maid Marian; and before all of them there was Bugs Bunny in drag.
Judy Hopps
It’s advertising. They always do it on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBuly8Vblc

oh, France. I see.
Thank you for sharing
Shearing
That landing full flat when jumping from the swing, oof

So a bank, like a real bank that people safeguard their savings, has this as its mascot?
At least it’s not a sperm bank.
Yep. backed by the NZ government, no less…
To be fair, our current government is a total clown show.
To be fair to be fair, our clown show of a government want to sell off Kiwibank.
Don’t forget that part of the government also wants to buy back the BNZ too.
They’re really earning that red nose and the giant shoes.
Yes, a real bank.
But not really safeguarded. New Zealand doesn’t do deposit protection like the FDIC.
well, it’s making some people want to make a deposit
Said it in another thread with the same thumbnail:
If they didn’t want people to lust after their mascot, they shouldn’t have given her “fuck me” eyes and a sultry smile. This is the internet, they should have anticipated this.
They knew exactly what they were doing
We’re talking about it, aren’t we?
“oh no, the publicity!”
And the color of that green M&M trollop.
Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.
Ya I’m sure no one looked lol
Maybe don’t show her out on a date, then?
Jealous?
It’s been a minute.
Remember Samsung Sam?
I do not.
