Edit: As @bdonvr@thelemmy.club points out below

  1. This is just a mascot and is not a new logo
  2. The blog referencing Mozilla’s statement on the mascots gender says, (he/she/they/them/it), use whatever pronoun you prefer.

At risk of being abrasive...

I see blue checkmarks, I downvote. Nothing personal. But I don't want to support that even indirectly.

    Good instinct. Pirat_Nation is a grifter/ragebaiting account. No one should be giving him visibility.

    I mean, yeah... It's a blue checkmark account.

    At this point, if you're paying for extra engagement on Twitter, that is beyond "benefit of the doubt." It seems safe to assume its some kind of attention farm.

    It's not just corporations. It's influencer-grifters like Pirat_Nation.

    ...And, to be blunt, reposters who further spread the ragebait, like OP.

    The platforms, ultimately, are what facilitate "marketing bait." But I dunno what to do about that, as human being simply cannot help themselves once they see stuff like that. It works, apparently.
