Weird. A real thing that somehow made it through every level... This is truly a remarkable example of the Swiss cheese model in action.

I give you, an eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314945286881

That's Lizzie! She's adorable!!

She's the Paralympics mascot, and a frilled lizard! Her frill is shaped like Australia!

Why would it be a hazard or remarkable or even something special that it "made through"… It's just a mascot, and a good one as well

Because it's very very obviously a fursona

… and?

Why would that be a hazard or remarkable or even something special that it “made through”… It’s just a (furry) mascot, and a good one as well

That's not something that's generally appropriate for a government to post, or anyone in a professional setting.

Because…? In what way is a fursona not "aPpRoPrIaTe"? That literally just describes half of all mascots, furry is essentially just an antropomorphic animal. Again, you haven't given any real reason why there would be anything wrong with this, at all.

Because a furry is a sexual fetish/kink and a mascot is not typically a fetish or kink.

I don't see why any level, even knowing "furry" would find these particular designs "objectionable" and worthy of rejecting. They aren't even vaguely fetishized.
