Disabled bird - new scratch membership sprite

I think that this membership sprite will make scratch more inclusive. With Zepto and Milli having scrutinised by the public due to their unique yet off-putting designs, disabled bird doesn’t miss the mark and makes sure it’s right.

Disabled bird would be a statement membership sprite with it conveying Scratch’s inclusivity, bravery and uniqueness that many other kids sites are lacking these days, these factors are particularly accompanied by it’s forward thinking, difficult to pin down and futuristic design.

Sprites like this would be benchmarks for the scratch membership.

You can see what Disabledbird looks like there or in my project that I made.

Honestly why make it just for members? I feel like this idea is good but everyone should see inclusivity.

I support this, it is important to show inclusion to everyone! Plus, this sprite is just super awesome. I hope that the Scratch Team will add it soon.

Memberships raise money to help the Scratch Team run the servers!

This thing coming back was not on my bingo card (and wow we had a lot to say back then).

Can't find the post but there was someone that thought “disabled bird” felt too forced, and I still agree. Also still not a fan of the design.

But being inclusive should also be about everyone having it - everyone should see things like this, not just members as it is a really important message.

Support but what disability does the bird have? I know that disabilities aren’t always visible but I can’t tell what disability the bird is supposed to have. Is it because it presumably only has one wing?

Great idea, I think we should trade Pico for disabled bird and put Pico in memberships instead because nobody likes him.

Fair point. Pico just stands no chance from the message. If you look at disabled bird alone…

This is what Scratch needs.

Hi everyone, I made a great project explaining why Disabled Bird could replace Pico in Scratch 4.0. Thanks for everyone's support of inclusion! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1270822598/

I support this sprite. People who are disabled deserve an inclusive sprite to show them that they matter to Scratch too. I think this is one of the best suggestions.

Unfortunately that would be giving him a new ability instead of removing one.

Well there are many birds that have wings that don't work. For example, Ostriches, Penguins, Kiwis, and Emus. You can learn more here.

Support! Although why limit it just to members? As a whole, the Scratch library should be more inclusive.
