  • Cornucopias were not a commonly seen thing in my region or most regions of the world. We have fruit bowls instead. In the 00s a lot of people had fake fruit in a big bowl just for decoration since it was such a trend. I saw fruit bowls a lot more than I ever saw cornucopias. But nobody talks about the missing bowl. I didn’t even know what cornucopias were called for a long time. Funny thing is I thought they were called looms because when I was learning to read I got fixated on the text in logos and spent a long time staring at that one. I remember looking at my underwear tag while shitting and thinking “wtf is a loom? It must be that cone thing the fruit is coming out of.” That’s what makes it weird, the consistency of it plus the amount of people who have actual memories associated with the cornucopia.



  • They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.







  • In my experience people like on the left tend to be upper class so that’s probably why they’re marketed to. There’s a lot of jokes about furries all being engineers and aircraft technicians and stuff but there’s not really enough rich ones to be worth marketing to for massive corporations. No offense but that kind of “gay pride” stuff is bougie as fuck these days. I feel alienated by it but not by the furry fandom despite not being a furry.
