I'm legitimately sorry for singling you out, in isolation it's not that big of a deal at all, sites can try different things and that's great. My complaint is more that this seems to be happening a lot lately, and there is already a pervasive criticism that "safe spaces" (which in principle I approve of) are infantilizing people (I think they often do.) If it's just a fun theme, that's cool.

No worries! Thanks for the kind words. I do think the dinos set a happier tone, which probably helps people to converse in a more civil way, but we definitely don't want to infantilize people. We just like dinos ourselves. :)

Also, just as a note, "safe space" was the author's words, not ours. We're taking a stronger stance on harassment, sure, but there's still plenty of room for negativity and disagreement. You can read more in my other comments if you care to hear more about our philosophy.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to me!
