Hi Freshdesk Team,

Please remove the message “It’s a bird...it’s a plane...it’s Supportman!” from your software. This is sexist and it offends Support Analysts who identify as female. See the screenshot below. That appears from time to time when I refresh a list of tickets.

I totally agree with JKB57. This is utterly sexist. C’mon guys. We are living in the year 2022, not 1999. Do the right thing and remove all such sexist messages from your software. It’s offensive.
