I will buy Kagi in an instant if I don't have to look at a stupid, ugly dog mascot.
I hate dogs. I didn't used to before COVID, but I am 100% suffering from "dog fatigue" from them CONSTANTLY being in grocery stores and public spaces they don't belong where I live. I cannot understate how absolutely sick and tired I am of seeing dogs. It actually makes me physically react in a negative manner to even see one anymore due to all the awful interactions with their antisocial owners who think everyone is overjoyed to have their off leash, barking dog jump on them or rush up to them on a trail.
I know this is a human problem, I used to like dogs back when people trained them and didn't pretend they were people. But I genuinely don't care. I am sick of dogs, regardless of whose fault it is.
I don't want to see a dog every time I open the search. I know it sounds stupid and small, but it is genuinely all that is holding me back. I hate your hideous mongrel mascot more than I hate how bad google has become, and I really, REALLY hate google's current state :/
Dog nutters need not respond. I don't care if you love dogs and love the stupid mascot. I do not. No, I'm not evil and I don't need you to lecture me about "why dogs are awesome." I've trained more dogs than you, and used to own one which I adored. I am SICK AND TIRED OF THEM NOW. A valid opinion to which I am completely entitled. Leave me alone.
Please create a dog free skin so people don't have to look at the ugly illustration of an uglier animal. Not everyone likes dogs. A growing number of us are actively sick of them because they are forced on us all the time by terrible owners in cities. I really, really can't understate how much I don't want to support a product that forced me to look at yet another dog, cartoon or not.
Please give users and option to toggle the ugly mongrel off.
