A friend of mine just shared this because some random bigot on his FB was kicking off that the Duo owl would be pro-LGBT+ rights ("I'll DELETE THE APP!! OMG"). Obviously this is hilariously tragic and bigots should fuck off but I feel like there's a deeper question that needs answering here.
Namely: why does this owl have tits?
Is the Duolingo owl... a mammal?
Some of you believe this to be a comment upon the gender of the Duolingo owl, but it is not. It is a comment on whether or not birds canonically have nipples.
Not to be a pedant, but I'm having a very sad day and talking about the hypothetical nipples on the Duolingo owl is very soothing for me.
@girlonthenet my only hope is that you have a happier day
@girlonthenet Duolingo owl just happen to have some traits taken from cute kitties/doggos (mammals) yet still being a bird. Simple as that lol
There are hot versions of duolingo bird too (with a fat ass
@girlonthenet there is some precedent for bird bathing suits, Ralph was a trailblazer http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_8200000/newsid_8200500/8200545.stm
@girlonthenet I know that the avian kingdom includes Great Tits, does that count?
@girlonthenet Well now wait a minute, is a bikini top only appropriate if it covers nipples? What about a human mammal who has had a full mastectomy with nipple removal? I have friends who have worn nipple shields under those tops for their own reasons, but that means the nipples would be covered without said top; is that top wearing unnecessary then?
If they can wear that top without question why not the owl? Wear what makes you feel happy, Duo owl! Fly … uh, not-free?
@girlonthenet duolingo bird knows that tan lines are sexy as hell.
Now, if you want to debate whether green owls have melatonin in their bodies, I’m here for that too :-)
