Welcome to the world of The Many Memes of Meta. This one happens to be one of the most popular, and as such we have quite a few unicorn lovers.
In fact, there are 45 people with 'unicorn' in their bios, and only 6 of them are over 10k rep.
Thus, it is my professional opinion that everyone changes their bio to say 'unicorn', as a sign of respect for our dear clippycorn.
