     @BrodieOnLinux @lea What’s pointless is that attitude and instant “disapproval” of it as if it’s a serious matter or means anything.

     You are trying to get ahead of the supposed “hate mail” and harassment of it as you give a shit and play the smartass, when in reality it’s yet another reactionary lip service masquerading as “apolitical” under the disguise of “caring for the project and the impact”

     @BrodieOnLinux @lea Newsflash, this says a lot more about the people making a fuss about it than who is depicted in the mockup.

     The designers and people involved in the project are humans, not apolitical husks.

     Politics are part of their everyday lives, work and shape the software that ends up in your desktop.

     This is plain dehumanization on the basis of “omg this is not appropriate or not the time for it” and it’s done to serve a specific purpose, willingly or not.

     Disgusting.

     @lea It's just pointless drama to use Karl Marx as an example, it serves the purpose but you know people are going to harass you for it. Just use a cat picture or AI generate a face

     On a more serious note, regardless of how you feel about those figures, this is just… weird, and I’m surprised that this got past any sort of review. Even more strange that this is the “correct” example of high quality content for a screenshot.
