@Jyoti@mas.to apparently there was one specific guy at the JGI who was offended by that cartoon and responsible for the angry letters, and everybody else there is like "oh HIM." No word on whether he trained Frodo to attack Larson though.

@Jyoti@mas.to Jane Goodall clearly did not want or need anyone to be offended on her behalf. Good for her!

@Jyoti@mas.to Remember when people saw the funny side of things and didn’t sue each other over every single fucking thing? You know, common sense? Why can’t we go back to this kind of thinking and let the lawyers eat themselves alone in court? ☹️

@DavidM_yeg@beige.party 2026-06-17 03:29
@Jyoti@mas.to That was a pretty standard story, really… and then at the end an abrupt left trun worthy of Larson’s own sense of humor: “In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania. While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.”

@Jyoti@mas.to Frodo said You Wanna Call My Lady a Tramp to My Face Bro?

@Jyoti@mas.to The cartoon.

@Jyoti@mas.to bahaha, what a great story. Good on her. Wondering if Frodo got jealous.

@Jyoti@mas.to funny how when I read about the Institute's reaction, I thought, oh, that's not what I would've expected from Jane Goodall, only to find out I was right one sentence later. Frodo seems to have sided with the institute, though.

@Jyoti@mas.to Fortunately six years later the WWW was invented, where people only show indignation about things that actually concerned themselves🙄

@Jyoti@mas.to Jane Goodall was more intelligent and less serious than the foundation in her name. 🤣

@bootblackcub@woof.group 2026-06-17 22:22
@Jyoti@mas.to so what I'm getting from this is that Jane Goodall plays the long game...
