OK take a step back. What is the purpose of this mascot? To whom is it being presented as a representation of Holla Forums?
Juan Reed
Me.
Colton Wood
bain ?
Blake Hill
I definitely agree. Especially people's predilections to turn it into fan porn of the cat girl getting fucked. Don't know what kind of message that's supposed to send.
Camden Fisher
Some more brainstorming.
Nathan Sanchez
But we have a mascot.
Jason Mitchell
Are you trying to make us look like a pack of fools?
William Hernandez
Da fucking cat girl doesn't do that in spades?
Henry Phillips
We have Alunya, stop trying to sell Holla Forums to normies like some fucking marketeer
Austin Cooper
She doesn't even make for good reaction gifs or whatever you call them on image boards. I hardly see people use that shit even on here unless it's for the first post or for a 'post your lewd Alunyas!!!' threads.
Austin Russell
No, she doesn't. If you think we're ditching the catgirl in favor of some CalArts noodle-armed blob, then you've got another fucking thing coming. Don't forget what the fuck website you're on.
Christian Cruz
Holy SHIT.
Jason Smith
So I guess you got Dore for the reaction gifs then?
Adrian Butler
This is all very telling. I guess Alunya is the perfect mascot for this board because you'd all rather masturbate in a dark corner than actually make any waves.
Aiden Reed
Fuck off Alunya is fuggen based
Michael Morales
Ok dude. Post your rare Alunyas!
Jaxon Fisher
fug, why are banners so hard to post
This is a leftcom board fug off : DDD
Lucas Anderson
something like good ole misha
Jackson Thompson
So cute and friendly is your vote for personality?
Do you think bear is the best choice for an animal?
Xavier Clark

Alexander Sullivan
Some more brainstorming.
Cooper Johnson
lurk more
Hudson Adams
Holla Forums can't even be found through Google and is home primarily to Nazis and pedophiles. We're never going to reach a mainstream audience from this shithole, so why even bother trying?
John Watson
That 'slogan' seriously needs to die.
Caleb Torres
Why did you guys just sponsor a monthly economic update webisode then?
Mason Gutierrez
underrated
Jacob Morgan
for the lolz
Daniel Young
that's…not alunya
David Sanchez
Haven't a clue, I certainly didn't. At least Wolff's reaction was amusing.
Carter Bennett
nahh forget it. Alunya has been compromised. Some idiots already destroyed it by making Alunya into a cock hungry whore.
Julian Torres
This is the internet Rule 34 will allways be in effect
Gabriel Gomez
I guess, but with the cat girl people may see the porn and think you guys legit wank it to that shit.
Leo Cruz
Because it's a good cause. We didn't find out until after they got the donation that sponsorships were on backorder and that it would be like 6 months until ours came up.
Isaiah Peterson
What is wrong with loving cocks exactly?
Lincoln Myers
Stop kinkshaming pls
Evan James
Are you trying to say you jack it to Pepe?
Jace Peterson
Look at the catalogue right now and count the number of Alunya's vs Pepe's.
Samuel Johnson
Saw someone else using this penguin character for a Chapo thread. Edited some more.
Connor Williams
Pepe has been a popular general reaction pic meme for years.
Julian Collins
As long as it's a girl with giant tits I could not care less
Charles Johnson
Pepe is almost as old as trollface no shit it's used more commonly
Aaron Clark
And Holla Forums's 'claiming' of him managed to get them a whole lot of exposure. I'm not saying take it to kek levels but it would be good to have some popular mascot associated with leftism.
To do this it would have to be cute and convenient for a lot of different reaction pic memes.
Christian Martinez
Which is why I was offering to draw an original one and draw a bunch of different popular reactions to be used around the web.
Wyatt Williams
i like the bear character and right now our defacto mascot is an anime character or some Albanian. Relax we share an imageboard with want to be nazis on a site that isn't indexed on all major search engines
Lincoln Brooks
Pepe's an anthropomorphic frog. If anything, Alunya is less furry than that. She's good enough for general use. Being a cat is a bonus because of the angry cat symbol.
Jayden Torres
why cant we have a non /a/utistic mascot like the one /tg/ almost gave birth
id rather support a weird rayman with 2 left fists than another fucking catgirl j
Kayden Miller
Stop forcing memes
Jacob Adams
The whole point of memes is that it's a group effort. Trying to force something doesn't work.
Henry Long
...
Adam Nguyen
Alunya is too complicated for the average user to draw and throw into memes IMO, which is something that should be essential in a mascot for an anonymous, shitposting imageboard. I think Pepe's simplicity had a significant impact on his spread, as it is easy for anyone who has MS paint to throw Pepe into all sorts of situations.
Jack Ross
For you.
Lincoln Gomez
Alunya is just a face, some hair and a couple ears at minimum. Maybe throw in the bandana or a hat. The whole body is more complex sure, but you don't need all of that. Besides, she doesn't have only one outfit. Pepe is just a frog face.
so progressive
Evan Martinez
She looks like an old west cowgirl in these pictures:
Evan Phillips
Ok so what's Alunya's personality supposed to be like anyways?
She's like the perpetual internal butt hurt sort of anime girl? Except when she's getting fucked or something?
Explain dis to me.
Isaac Harris
And she likes dyke it up with the Gamergate girl? Wasn't there some creepy uncle involved too?
Daniel Lopez
Pepe was a meme before he was a mascot. Well, I guess he was Matt Furie's mascot before he was a meme, but that doesn't count.
Jayden Nguyen
Yes, exactly. He's a goofy frog face. Many Pepe memes also incorporate his naked green body, or something else very similar.
This is also true. But he was then able to be essentially called the mascot of the "alt-right" by the Democratic nominee for president as a result of extensive memeing. Pepe's versatility and simplicity helped transition him from silly meme to something that makes you think of Holla Forums.
Stereotypical anarchist Frenchman with ridiculous french accent wearing a french beret with sun glasses smoking through a long cigarette holder, wearing either a black long sleeve or stripped black-and-white shirt.
Dominic Jenkins
Pepe wasn't a Nazi either, but then Holla Forums made it so.
Julian King
pepe had a quite neutral background to begin with
Michael Evans
This is actually a good point. The only thing that sets her apart (from what I've seen) is revolutionary agitation. She probably could do with character development.
Kevin Gomez
Wow, that's painfully accurate.
Hudson Jones
And squidward is a pissed off cashier trapped in a dead end job and can barely take the time to just relax and do his art. He's the average joe that wants more than to just rot away under porky krabs and be continuously be laughed at by his more successful rival. The guy is a ticking time bomb for a revolution with the only missing ingredient is to actually read leftist material.
Ryan Robinson
tbh this would probably get a lot of normie attention. I bet people could be convince that the creators of Spongebob actually intended for Squidward, and potentially the whole show, to be about workers disenfranchisement.
Sebastian Brooks
ok you got me
Leo Ward
Exactly.
Michael Richardson
Have can you fuckers forget about Commie Skeletons!
Austin Hernandez
How*
Isaac Flores
This Skeleton is under appreciated.
Jordan Robinson
So I'm dubbing this guy Anarchy Ant.
He's kind of like disaster girl except he only wants to burn the system down.
Nolan Harris
Are you saying it's not?
Henry Lee
Get that weak shit out of here nigga.
We need the opposite of smug.
Andrew Morris
These Comrades understands
Nathan Reed
Alyuna is our mascot. Fuck off with this shit.
Gavin Martinez
So what do you want? Angry Penguins?
Fixed up the transparency.
Jacob Butler
Anything that gives a different vibe from the edge frog.
Not weeb shit that half the internet can't relate to though.
James Reyes
So I've never seen this Pingu show but I guess he(they?) is already friends with a Sea Lion.
Luke Thompson
I like it, fighting smug with smug is valid.
The internet loves cats and catgirls.
Carter Jones
We already have Alunya.
What the fuck is going on in this thread?
Austin Taylor
...
Leo Rogers
perfect
Austin Foster

Nolan Lopez
I would advise you reds to do a better job then you did with that cat-girl slut. She is to easy to bully.
John Parker
you're a technocrat, you are literally the most buillingable thing ever.
