But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.
Said it in another thread with the same thumbnail:
If they didn’t want people to lust after their mascot, they shouldn’t have given her “fuck me” eyes and a sultry smile. This is the internet, they should have anticipated this.
And the color of that green M&M trollop.
Bluesky’s thriving furry community started posting their own images of her. Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.
Journalism is dead
This isn’t journalism, it’s an ad. I hadn’t heard of Kiwibank until right now.
I assume that unless someone lives in New Zealand, that they probably aren’t going to be using Kiwibank. They appear to only do business there.
I took the commenter’s implication to be that True Journalists would have looked into the images and been able to confirm if they were, in fact, pornographic.
The CEO presses pause, the mascot sheep looking over the boardroom in coquettish freeze-frame. “Guys, you’ve gotta tell me, nobody thinks this sheep is fuckable, right? We didn’t put a CM out with a sexy sheep on purpose, did we?”
The VP loosens his collar. The marketing team fidget and look around the table, anywhere to avoid the gaze of the CEO.
“Guys? It’s not fuckable, right?”
A junior exec caves. “M-maybe a little bit?”
“God FUCKING damnit!”
Maybe don’t show her out on a date, then?
Jealous?
It’s big in Wales
Whales are indeed big.
Damn you, sexy whales!
I would imagine New Zealanders should be sensitive and wise about sheep sexualisation jokes…
Obligatory Thanks Smokey
Yeah, we really don’t want to encourage the Aussies too much.
Must be newly hired FBI.

The glorious days on which all the furries on Twitter harassed Tony the Tiger.
did they not learn when australia brought sheep with chlamydia to continent, and infecfted the koalas.
This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner
Other Bluesky furry accounts have accused Kiwibank of censoring sexy sheep art that wasn’t even connected to Buck in any way, essentially making their work collateral damage in a war over a reputably fuckable farm animal from New Zealand.
The DMCA is out of control
Since when does the DMCA apply in Aotearoa?
The Spinoff has seen several of the takedown requests, which were issued under the American Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). They were sent out by Christopher Young, a partner at the prominent law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts who specialises in intellectual property law. The notice viewed by The Spinoff accuses 10 accounts, including @jestermaxxing, of having “taken Kiwibank’s distinctive Buck image and used it to make highly sexualised and inappropriate copies which infringe the Kiwibank copyright”. X appears to have complied with the complaint.
DMCA takedowns are valid regardless of what country they come from I think, and both Twitter and Bluesky are based in the US
The fallout appears to be spreading. “I want to fuck the National Bank horse,” says one account.
I’m fuckin dead
Something about beating a dead horse
Beating off one at least.
OK? So don’t make it so fuckable
This is the green M&M all over again
You can’t tell me it wasn’t intentional
https://mms.fandom.com/wiki/Ms._Green
In addition to the visual changes, the characters’ personalities were also updated. Ms. Green, known for her self-awareness and outgoing nature, now has a more inclusive and friendly demeanor. The redesign aimed to emphasize her confidence without the previous overt focus on femininity and sexuality, which had been a point of contention among audiences. This change was part of a broader effort to reduce the sexualization of female mascots and promote a more progressive representation.
Huh.
I think they are referring more to the (really fucking stupid) backlash against those changes by the Fox News crowd.
They tried to make it a culture war thing. The alleged “sexiness” of a cartoon M&M being reduced. They flipped their shit.

I dunno if a beauty salon was maybe the best setting to use for your ad, Kiwibank.
John Oliver is going to run so hard with this.
Baaaaaaddie alert!
Considering I’ve never heard of Kiwibank until now, the advertising is working.
Maybe just not working as they intended…
Is it a sperm bank company?
great pivot! They really should…
No! No, I can work with this
Anyone remember Erin for Esurance? There’s a reason you don’t see her anymore…
Okay but she’s actually drawn attractive and sexy. This is a fucking sheep.
The sheep is also, allegedly, drawn attractively and sexy
“It’d take like 3 guys to fuck a
nostritchsheep”
*fuckable sheep
We’ve seen everything
It’s too late, we’ve already seen everything…
Wait… I haven’t seen it. Can someone post it. For research purposes.
ddg search for erin esurance rule 34
She got rear-ended by Aflac.
Ben Affleck?
Nope, Corkscrew Aflec.
Ducks have corkscrew-shaped penises
I heard he fucks girls in some place very uncomfortable…
In the back of a VW?
Lol I’m glad someone got this 30+ year old joke
Because advertising operates in fads?
Not at all. She became the target of many rule 34 posts. Enough that the company pulled her from advertising.
