牛 Radical Mnemonic was changed?

I really loved the mnemonic for the cow radical. I guess it maybe was too dark, offensive or bad vibes overall? Gonna say though: “This looks like a cow see? Look at the picture” for me is never going to be more efective than

"There’s a cross and a gun, with the gun going through the cross. You’re using the cross to stabilize your gun, because you need to shoot a cow for dinner.

You bring your cross because you need to bless the cow once you’ve killed it (and it’s also a good stand for your gun).

Poor cow."

Whats next you gonna take out KO’d children😥? I hope I aren’t missing these crazy and great mnemonics on my updated future levels.

You’ll be happy to know they stuck with the theme for the Year kanji (年). I was just shooting cows in my lesson this morning!

I agree. The cow mnemonic was very memorable for me too (the gun+cross thing).

I appreciate all of the work that the WK staff/devs put into WK, but I’m honestly not a fan of the artwork, especially if all of the mnemonics are going to be changed to fit the artwork. I’m already conceiving of a userscript to hide the artwork and restore the original mnemonics.

On second thought, if I did make such a script, all of the original mnemonics would have to be hardcoded into the script. So I’m not sure I would be able to redistribute it without violating copyright… unless I had permission from the copyright holder (WK).

WK staff, what say you? Is it okay if I make a script to restore the original mnemonics? :pray:

I don’t really care if the mnemonic is offensive. The more offensive the more memorable and that’s what matters here. :face_exhaling:
