I think that you're making a very valid point; especially when looking at the "cartoons" using the glasses of being accepting, open and welcoming to and for anyone.

it's super important (especially for the tech sector that I seem to find myself in and especially in a tech sector where we build community and contact) to not only welcome diversity, but celebrate it!

My sincere apologies to anyone in this thread and anyone else that finds this thread in the future and feels played down or belittled by my earlier post, that was absolutely not my intention.

Thanks for pointing me to my silly mistake @mnin!
