Snoo is the mascot of Reddit and I fucking hate it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the mascot itself. Snoo is an adorable plump alien that gives off cute teletubby vibes... and thats exactly what I have a problem with.
It's quite ironic to use such a "happy-go-lucky" alien when the majority of its userbase consists of pricks and obstinate assholes that fully negates the welcoming charismatic vibe that Reddit attempts to portray. While toxicity exists on all platforms, the way reddit is engineered just promotes dissent. You feel as if youre defending for your life with everything you say (and I know many feel this way too). And if the thread isn't toxic, it's just way too sober.
There are mascots that do justice to its platform. The cute yak of Yik Yak (now defunct) aligns perfectly with the cute vibe of the platform. Twitter is toxic AF, but the neutral depiction of the bluebird still fits. The cheerful depiction of Snoo, at least in the Reddit app, doesn't fit at all with its sober bittersweet environment.
Also, Reddit seems to capture a large demographic of late 20s-30s people. Idk about you, but Snoo seems to be more fitting towards Gen Z. With the exception of r/memes or r/teens, reddit really isn't the place for kids/teens so Reddit's depiction of Snoo just isnt holding up IMHO.
Only those that have 1) barely used Reddit, 2) only dwell in specific hobby communities, or 3) only visit cheerful, wholesome and kid-friendly subreddits will find Snoo to be fitting.

Get the peonymug. To out someone means to beat them in a particular activity. "Out" is most likely short for "outperform".
Note that this is used primarily for beating opponents. For outperforming those on your same team, see to carry someone.

Get the Epstein didn't kill himselfmug. "So I was on the bus yesterday and this random lady kept interrogating me, telling me that I was 'sus'. She said that I was the imposter and how I've been faking all my tasks. I called the bus driver and fucking got off the bus immediately. Crazy SOB."
