Doesn’t matter. Clippy was always hated on up until now, when it became a twisted symbol of the people who’ve had enough, and a mark we wear to symbolize willingness to stand up to bullshit. Kinda the same thing happened with e.g. anti-LGBTQ+ language, which we later adopted into something more positive.

Why are we using a Microsoft mascot as a symbol for fair technology?
Do people need a reminder of what Microsoft was up to when Clippy was a thing?
