It's not much about getting something new. The most important part is that nobody was asked about getting a new mascot, and the current students and alumni are not happy about it. Students interests and representation are usually neglected even though we're their cash cows. My school is just ashamed and unsupported of their students, unless they became the ceo of airbnb or is working at Google. Subtle shitshow I tell you.

Fun second-hand story about the airbnb guy, from someone I know who was in classes with him as an illustration major at RISD. Apparently he was really into body building, and was basically the only student at RISD who used the school’s weight gym. He would bring his protein shaker thing to every class, and regardless of the assignment, would turn in photorealistic drawings of bodybuilder dudes, to the professors’ confusion. Don’t know if it’s true, but I hope it is.

THAT'S AMAZING HAHA. I was in illustration too when i was in school but it's years after he graduated so i never get to hear stuff like this.

Are you speaking for all of them?

Personally, I'm with RISD on this. It's not creative and it's vulgar.

Of course I can't speak for everybody. It's the same as how ID majors and wealthy international students who have no regards to the nearby communities are fully representative of the school. You can nitpick however you want, but different student bodies have their own opinions and pro-Scrotie fellas are more vocal right now.
