    Is there a rule that all FOSS has to have a gross mascot? It’s always a rodent or a lizard and never like a cute dolphin or something

      I understand some rodents can be pesty, but like c’mon man, some rodents are downright cute AF, like capybaras, guinea pigs, etc and lizards… Man lizards are cuuuute! Especially them leopard geckos, those smiles and tail wiggles!

      Also, lemmings are cute AF what you on about? Google that shiz!

      And the kangaroo mouse dude that I think Jerboa is based off is cute

        Sure, you can style a mouse or lizard to be cute. Disney does it all the time.

        But… none of these icons are cute. So… what’s the deal? Why?

        EDIT: I’m jealous of all the people downvoting this who apparently have never had to deal with rodents
