  • I think a big part is that the headline is antithetical to what Firefox's brand has been, but doesn't make it clear that this is due to an update. Even just saying "Firefox: The newest Data Collection, Advertising Browser" would be better. Otherwise, people who are familiar with Firefox but not the newest update will read the headline and think, "What? No it isn't." Downvote

  • It doesn't need to be super accurate, just enough to tell them if they'll need to get a new one soon or not. They could probably just pick it up and guess, but at least this gives them a number to track.

  • The story I've heard is "What does a 'good cop' get for sticking their neck out for what is right?" "Fired."

    I agree with your sentiment though. I don't know how to fix it, but we need an overhaul of the system.

  • Sort of, but she gave most people realistic names, it's only with people further outside the central narrative that gets weird, and it goes further than just the name. I referred to my made-up character as 'European' and used common Spanish and Italian last names, which would be weird, but fine by itself. However, imagine if they were the ONLY white character in the entire book, and JK only wrote about how "Lombardi loved pasta and naps" as their main characteristics.

    Cho Chang is a popular and smart girl who struggles with always listening to her parents, but suddenly becomes dumb around Harry because "she can't focus around him". She's basically just a ManicPixieDreamGirl for Harry to have emotions about.

    So, it's not just about the name, it's how the character is treated overall, and the way she's treated is as a generic Asian romantic interest stereotype with a made-up name.

  • Shacklebolt = Shackled and bolted down = Enslaved

    Not a great name for basically the only black person in the books.

    Cho Chang = Both are Chinese or Korean LAST names. 'Cho' isn't a first name in any Asian language, so she's mixing and matching languages and cultures. She also only describes her as 'Asian' in the books, furthering how little effort was put in.

    It's like saying 'Lombardi Fernandez' is a European name. Ignorant on multiple accounts.
