Oh, you caught that, huh?
For everyone else, what I said was: "That's like hating a kitten because it meows too much."
I deleted it because it seemed unnecessarily snarky. Sometimes snark is useful for making a point; this was not one of those times.
(sorry, this has been a very long year for me IRL — actually, a very long year-and-a-half, since the summer of 2021. stuff that most people go through at some point in their lives, but when you yourself go through it, it's pretty awful. it's changed how i think about and deal with a lot of things, but old patterns of behavior are hard to break.)

We've talked before I think about how our overexposure to their various slogans and gimmicks can make them seem more played out to us than to the general public. They may have just a moment or two to make an impression on a casual audience, so whether it's gambaruno, or octopuses, or pandas, or just announcing how cute they are with every other breath (Nanamin), if that's what it takes then my hat's off to them.
Fair enough.
