It's not about glorifying Clippy at all, everyone knows that Clippy was crap
Discussion
So just continue hating Clippy, there's no need to make it your pfp
I despised Clippy because it was crappy software, the point is that it was written with good intent (to help users). Whereas most popular software nowadays is the opposite. It's high quality software, written with bad intent.
Clippy was a closed source Microsoft product
It was not written with good intent
And what we have today is not high quality software
The more you clippy pfp people say, the less a clippy pfp seems like "weird confusing thing I don't understand" and the more it seems like "yet another trend of people fellating Microsoft"
Hey, you do you
