:::::I think ALT0b is better wording. I do not think it is fair to raise my concern as being because of it “vibes”, it was a genuine concern as to whether readers would get the wrong impression and then not click on the article to explore more and thus cause more harm than good. I do think things can come across as unneutral without meaning to. However, the issue is sorted which is the good thing!

  • The article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral, and free of copyright violations, and presentable. I support ALT1 and ALT2, as ALT0 is very vague. There is nothing wrong with both of the hooks I supported, as they are short, interesting, and well-sourced. The image, meanwhile, has a proper license. Overall, this is an amusing article that is good enough to be shown in did you know. Regards, 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 12:09, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the review, TheNuggeteer! In fixing ALT0, how about:
    • I think that’s about as specific as ALT2 and still captures most of the hookiness of ALT0. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:25, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
      • Just a note – I would suggest using ALT1 or ALT2 as the first one could come across as transphobic and unneutral to some readers and could create some issues. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 13:50, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
        • It’s the language used by the activists and the sources, and I don’t think it comes across as transphobic at all. (Also, something can’t “come across” as non-neutral, it can either comply with NPOV or not; we don’t censor DYK hooks on vibes.) I’ll also throw out:
        • ALT0b: … that transgender activists started a campaign to “hijack” the lobster emoji?
        • which hopefully makes it clear that the word is tongue-and-cheek. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 16:52, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
Providing a courtesy ping for @TheNuggeteer & @DaniloDaysOfOurLives! Staraction (talk · contribs) 21:35, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
I think ALT0b is better wording. I do not think it is fair to raise my concern as being because of it “vibes”, it was a genuine concern as to whether readers would get the wrong impression and then not click on the article to explore more and thus cause more harm than good. I do think things can come across as unneutral without meaning to. However, the issue is sorted which is the good thing! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:41, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
I’ll promote ALT2 here because I find it the most interesting myself, but all the other ALTs are fine (prefer ALT0b out of the three ALT0s), and someone can change it on TM:DYK/Q if they want. HurricaneZetaC 02:03, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
