But for every lustful post killed by a legal threat, another 10 take its place.

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
Obligatory ‘Thanks, Smokey!’ 🐑🍆
Oh no, lol. I had forgotten about this one.
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
I didn’t go to school for 4 years for a dying field to stare at degen porn of bank mascots
If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life
This isn’t journalism, it’s an ad. I hadn’t heard of Kiwibank until right now.
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.
It’s a bank owned by the New Zealand government, so if you’re not based in New Zealand, that’s not a surprise.
Kiwi should’ve given that away, duhhhh.
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.
There’s something people here don’t understand
When something happening in New Zealand gets global attention, everyone in the country takes notice
Kiwis wouldn’t pay attention to the ads, but the instant that they get overseas eyes involved, they’ll be all over it

It’s advertising. They always do it on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxBuly8Vblc
I would imagine New Zealanders should be sensitive and wise about sheep sexualisation jokes…
Obligatory Thanks Smokey
It’s the old classic Scottish joke again:
A man at the bar is complaining:
“You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it’s the best dock in town! But do they call me “McGregor the dock builder”? No!
And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me “McGregor the bridge builder”? No!
And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me “McGregor the pier builder”? No!”
“but you fuck one sheep…”
Also that Snoop album Doggystyle.
People are fucking gross. There’s no way around it.
The fallout appears to be spreading. “I want to fuck the National Bank horse,” says one account.
I’m fuckin dead
If this doesn’t make it onto John Oliver’s show at some point, I will be very disappointed.
It was in the feature spot of the opening credits last night. I had no idea what it was; now I do.
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!”
The CEO is upset at being the only Scalie in the room
Maybe don’t show her out on a date, then?
Oh c’mon, that’s not fair, that’s not a date. That’s very obviously a hotel lobby, this is the morning after hooking up.
Jealous?
It’s been a minute.

For every deranged penis they cut off, two more take its place! Hail Hydra!
