TL;DR: They arbitrarily rejected Tyson Tan's popular entry Libbie for personal reasons, fucked about with the contest rules while it was running, outright neglected to vet entries for plagiarism with several of those entries getting to the final rounds, and pretty much blamed the community for the abandoned contest's failure.
You have no idea how popular Libbie was with the community considering Tyson Tan was involved and made other mascots for FOSS projects, plus there was other examples that got rejected for arbitrary reasons such as the cockatoo.
If it's open source, there'll be a Code of Conduct somewhere along the line. The first project that enforces the CoC on its users and not just contributors will usher in the rest to follow.

So the people in charge saw a degenerate faggot's art, and instead of bowing to hordes of faggots, rejected it.
Based.
All of mainstream open source is infected by this shit.
Even Linus Torvalds scolds people for not being inclusive.
His daughter when full woketard and he bent the knee.
Simp fathers are a huge problem in modernity.
When the woke holocaust comes we will have to take over the Linux project.

time for another fork
LO has a mascot? News to me. All I ever see of the site is the download the latest version page for a few seconds.
They can't fix the fucking pages tab page number tooltip getting stuck on and they're discussing mascot...
There is no mascot as far as I know as that project failed.
