I like this one, maybe needs a pinch more Cyrillic for flavor

yeah, casual xenophobia is the key to making the newbie avatar less problematic

other language bad, other alphabet worse

Cyrillic is like the one thing you think of when you think of Russia, after vodka and possibly samovars or bears

There's tons of twitters that are like "America MOM #1 [American flag emoji] [string of backwards Rs upside down Ls and poo poo]

Of course the image of Russia as a land of perma drunk bear tamers is completely PC.

Who cares it's a well known thing that Russian bots are real and having the stupid noob av reference that, is funny, to me

So the same as Trump? Why replace the newbie avatar if you are going for the same low hanging political fruit that is going to look terribly gauche rather than edgy a month from now?
