Kiwibank is desperately trying to stop people saying they want to fuck its sheep mascot

But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.
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


great pivot! They really should...
Baaaaaaddie alert!
Anyone remember Erin for Esurance? There's a reason you don't see her anymore...

ddg search for erin esurance rule 34
It's too late, we've already seen everything...
In the back of a VW?
Okay but she's actually drawn attractive and sexy. This is a fucking sheep.
The sheep is also, allegedly, drawn attractively and sexy
"It'd take like 3 guys to fuck an ostritch sheep"
Kiwi jailbait
Not at all. She became the target of many rule 34 posts. Enough that the company pulled her from advertising.
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
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
On the fucking nose:

Nah mate that's Australians https://youtu.be/f2gii2nenUg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_shagger
It has been used in South Africa to refer to Australians and by Australians and New Zealanders to refer to one another.^[3]^
Sounds like it could be used both ways.
While I'm not Welsh, I've lived in Wales for some time and I've been informed the reputation comes from after the English conquest in the middle ages; English law of the time apparently demanded death for those who stole sheep but lesser penalties for those caught shagging them. Therefore Welsh poachers when caught red-handed would claim to be having their way with the livestock rather than stealing it.
The only thing that annoys Australians and New Zealanders more than people implying they fuck sheep is when people confuse Australians and New Zealanders.
How can you confuse them when they're the same thing? (/jk)
FBI is looking into it.
…for recruiting.
A different but relevant video 🐑: https://vimeo.com/24550780?fl=pl&fe=sh
Possibly NSFW.
You guys bring my hope that this will be a place better than reddit one day higher than ever before.

Uhhh, what is the conclusion i should gather from this? Is it like an anti-bestiallity ad?
I mean thats a message i can stand behind, tho this is a confusing way of communicating that
Idk wtf I just watched, but it was hilarious.
It's a bank owned by the New Zealand government, so if you're not based in New Zealand, that's not a surprise.
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
Source: am Kiwi
Also, WOULD
True. They're also owned by the NZ government, actually.
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.
If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life
The CEO presses pause, the mascot sheep looking over the boardroom in coquettish freeze-frame. "Guys, you've gotta tell me, nobody thinks this sheep is fuckable, right? We didn't put a CM out with a sexy sheep on purpose, did we?"
The VP loosens his collar. The marketing team fidget and look around the table, anywhere to avoid the gaze of the CEO.
"Guys? It's not fuckable, right?"
A junior exec caves. "M-maybe a little bit?"
"God FUCKING damnit!"
The CEO is upset at being the only Scalie in the room

It's advertising. They always do it on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBuly8Vblc
wat?
oh, France. I see.
Thank you for sharing
Shearing
Kash is happily married

Yep. backed by the NZ government, no less...
To be fair to be fair, our clown show of a government want to sell off Kiwibank.
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
Maybe don't show her out on a date, then?

It's been a minute.
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?
And the color of that green M&M trollop.
Here's her SFW intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2cQW_MQRtQS

People were aroused by this? Even my furry ass was like: "what a basic sheep." I get that she passes the Harkness test but.. Meh?
Meh?
Mmmmehhhh. If you're gonna bleat, really get into it.
Herw is your updoot sir.
Re: Harkness, She's closer to a Born Sexy Yesterday situation.
Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.
Ya I'm sure no one looked lol
did they not learn when australia brought sheep with chlamydia to continent, and infecfted the koalas.
Obligatory 'Thanks, Smokey!' 🐑🍆
Yeah. Sure. But is it bringing in the bucks? I mean sheep? I mean customers?
If this doesn't make it onto John Oliver's show at some point, I will be very disappointed.
Thank you. I try to stay caught up but don't always watch new episodes right away.

And so history repeats itself...
But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.
For every deranged penis they cut off, two more take its place! Hail Hydra!
It's big in Wales
Damn you, sexy whales!
Krakens aren't that bad, there is place for 2 cuties
You know how to push my buttons. Now I'm blushing.
Must be newly hired FBI.
Would.
@TeamSports_or_CuckPorn@lemmy.world verdict?



I would imagine New Zealanders should be sensitive and wise about sheep sexualisation jokes...
Obligatory Thanks Smokey
It's the old classic Scottish joke again:
A man at the bar is complaining:
"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No!
And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No!
And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
"but you fuck one sheep..."
The glorious days on which all the furries on Twitter harassed Tony the Tiger.
Stone houses and glass or something like that.
