Ah, the classic security blunder that makes security professionals spit coffee.

The pumpkin-headed figure standing in water perfectly captures Rust evangelists in their natural habitat. They're not just passionate—they're drowning in self-righteousness while proclaiming memory safety from the shallow end of the pool.
