Esperanto finally has a mascot.

For some random reason, it seems that people think esperantists are weird. I don't know why

Thats nothing Esperantist's special. Youtube is full of that kind of 'pushing performance of madness to the limit' to get more views and/or financial support by patreon's. In my opinion thats dead end strategy very risky for content creators its health.

Anyway, I find Evildea its goals quite interesting: 'Mi partoprenos la 101-an Universalan Kongreson (UK) de Esperanto en Slovakio kaj videoblogos kaj eldonos ĝin en mia kanalo.' / 'I will participate the 101th UK and will publish videoblogs of it at my (Youtube) channel'.

It's actually the Duolingo mascot, not an Esperanto mascot...

How I read at some other lernu-thread, Evildea's its opinion is that Esperanto course at Duolingo brought new E-o users (1) into local Esperanto club he is member of (Sydney/Australia). Maybe thats why he bought this Duolingo mascot costume to bring more 'madness feeling' into local Esperanto club means to let this Duolingo mascot act like an street advertisment for Esperanto course at Duolingo.

(1) 10 of new E-o users if I remember correctly.

Duolingo and Esperanto are becoming synonyms.

Why would that be? I would think Duolingo and Spanish would be synonyms, because there are so many more students using the course to use Spanish.

Duolingo is a good learning tool, not a sinonym!

Polish, Turkish and Irish were all released at least a year after Esperanto and have more learners. Esperanto is only the 14th in the popularity stakes.

However...I think the implication was that Esperanto is becoming synonymous with Duolingo, as in people going to Duolingo to learn Esperanto before they go anywhere else.

I don't know how anyone could possibly know this.

Do you remember when Bush and fox news were saying the words "Islam" and "terrorism" in close proximity within their rhetoric? Then people associated the two together.

The same is happening for "Duolingo" and "Esperanto".

No, I actually have no idea what you are talking about. How do you manage to get so much wrong in such a short post?

People linked Islam and terrorism long before Bush was ever president. I remember the day of the Oklahoma City bombing, people were saying it was likely Islamic terrorists (They were probably thinking of the WTC bombing). Of course today we know that Oklahoma City had no links to Islam whatsoever. This stereotype didn't need help from Bush (who was years from the presidency) or from the Fox news channel (which did not yet exist).

And no one links Duolingo and Esperanto, except for a few language fans who maybe never heard of it till they saw it show up in the list. You might think it's a lot of people but it is actually a minuscule proportion of the world's population and only a small proportion of people who have heard of Esperanto through any means.
