moxie is in a tough situation because every time they use their mascot they’re advertising for what is now an antagonistic proxy. 

lesson in unintended consequences, frankenstein things.

proxy isn’t even really the right term. spin-off gremlin.

moxie created a cc0 fun little guy called 'maxi' but forgot to create a fan token to go along with it. 

'betacuck' the betashop parody account creates $maxi, people buy it, people see other people buying it on interface etc. 

good natured rivalry between tokens ensues, but wait, betashop calls it a rug, even though liquidity is locked. $maxi fans point out $moxie is down 95% so who's the rug after all. 

think pieces are written. $maxi is bad, no wait, $moxie is bad, no wait they're both bad, more posts are written then deleted. streisand effect, FUD,  introspection, taking of breaks to reset and focus. maxi twitter suspended. 

moxie's fun little guy got fed after midnight and now is a gremlin from hell wreaking havoc. good times.

is there a tldr on all this? i see some antagonism around but the whole story escaped me

But like, was Grimaces cousin really the best mascot we could come up with?

Easy play to just make a completely different and better mascot now as a gg to the trolls and haters 🤷

ship has sailed, a mascot reboot would be kind of devastating

I’d say they’re in dire need of an actual mascot and fast, or dump the idea altogether
