      Apology was for people offended by an aquarium using teen slang to connect with today’s youth.

      Maybe they just realized that it was extremely cringy.

        The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they’d just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:

        “Here’s our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!”

          exactly, i’d have gone with just posting a cute image of the otter and the text “chomnkey floofer 🙏”, but i guess they have too many old people who would just think they’re having a stroke or something.
