#283“ has no pronounceable name in English or any other speakable human language.” I’m in love with this because it’s so silly. I’ve always wondered what would happen if you gave a company an unpronounceable name and it took off. My guess is that the community would name it and that would be that. But I’m fascinated to witness that process happen. I really hope Sado takes off. ;)
People in Japan call this emoji “pien” (pronounced “P N” if you’re American) which means like… slight dejection
Was one of the 2020 words of the year by some random group of people! https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/c03823/amp/#

I think it's you that has the problem. They are cartoon characters with bunny (or whatever) ears. Fur/furry isn't mentioned once. If you're triggered by bunny ears, how do you cope with seeing 𓂺 on a toilet stall? > he or she From the bit you claim not to understand 'Please do not use "he"' is very clear.
Well that's the point I didn't get it because it also said that the author is not female, which doesn't exclude that person from having the ability to ask for people to call the author with a female pronoun. Me actually using it and respecting that ask is another thing as it is completely up to me if I'm going to do it or not, and honestly if it's respectfully requested with due reasoning I'm okay with it. I did read the page and make the effort to understand which one the author was looking for me to use but eventually I just bounced from the page as I figured I wasn't that interested in the content of the blog post anyways.
Also, bunnies have fur. Source: Had a bunny once.

I’ve worked with a consulting company that chose their name because it was extremely hard to pronounce/understand.
Why?

Normally this is just tangentially related and not for Hacker News but I feel this time it needs a bit of attention. My brain melted in the first minutes trying to read this article. I honestly just couldn't. It feels like I'm reading a mentally ill extremelly schizophrenic write-up on the recent sudo vulnerabilities, makes me lose sanity. Has anyone actually managed to read this? How is this on the front page? (Not…
It's just the classical socratic method applied to characters that you particularly don't identify with. Fasterthanlime's bear and why's guide have often been praised here for the same thing (the interludes break up the long, boring blocks of text that deep dives often lose readers on,) and it's trivial to use a Reading Mode or skip them for the legitimately interesting technical information within.
Unfortunately reading mode didn't remove the characters for me, it actually made them occupy the whole screen LOL (Fennec on Android if anyone is wondering). I don't have that much of a problem with the conversational format as long as it's used in an appropriate context, but this one was really intrusive and broke the flow of the text, since I'm reading mostly for entertainment I decided it wasn't worth the time.

Okay, I read it... > Sexual attraction to furry characters is a polarizing issue. In one survey with 4,300 furry respondents, 37% answered that sexual attraction is important in their furry activities, 38% were ambivalent, and 24% answered that it has little or nothing to do with their furry activities. So I'm reading "no reason to assume it's a sexual thing without specific contextual evidence", which I'm not seeing…

Consider it like dressing up, with nice clothes. Sexual attraction is an important aspect of dressing up to some people, but that's only part of the time, and just generically being dressed up is not a sex thing.
