One of the reasons I want Xenia the Fox to replace Tux the Penguin as the Linux mascot is so the bigots in the Linux community get outraged enough at queer symbolism that they basically see themselves out and save us the work of booting them out.
@arielmt Yeah, I remember the "Linux Fox" vs "Tux Penguin" debate in the mid 1990's, but at the time it seemed a bit irrelevant because Linux was so new and evidently "not ready for production use" - a lot of people thought it would fizzle out. Interestingly, it also happened at a time when I had my first trans friend - though that abbreviation was not in common use at the time. Things have changed so much for both spheres, not all in positive ways, but I feel real progress has been made.
