Aw, but what have you against kawaii?
- saltamimi 3mo agoFor me, it's a personal preference and in my opinion, it's less professional.
- lukeify 3mo agoPeople always seem surprised when someone in CS or SWE doesn't care for anime or cutesy pictorial graphics of girls.
- anonymous908213 3mo agoIt's mostly surprising how many grown adult men go into a blind rage when confronted with a picture of a cartoon woman. In a lobsters thread about Anubis, a community member of 12 years got themselves permanently banned because they were frothing at the mouth with accusations of pedophilia against the developer and refused to apologise when given an opportunity by moderators. Telling on themselves, perhaps? It's funny, in a bizarre way, that this is a hill people will die on.

- simoncion 3mo ago> ...they were frothing at the mouth with accusations of pedophilia against the developer... I think I remember that thread. IIRC, it went something very, very roughly like this: Future banned user: It weirds me out a bit how young the mascot looks. I've never been comfortable with cutesy, underage-looking mascots. The dogpile: How dare you insinuate that the dev a pedophile? Don't you know how anti-trans that dogwhistle is? and the conversation degraded from there. I'll also note that you chipped in with > It's mostly surprising how many grown adult men go into a blind rage when confronted with a picture of a cartoon woman. when -AFAICT- noone in this subthread expressed anything more heated than "dislike of kawaii". But perhaps you were speaking more generally, and weren't inspired by any conversation that happened in this subthread.
- dormento 3mo agoIt also serves as a sort of "chud defense", in a way. I like it.
- DaSHacka 3mo agoIf anything, its the opposite, going by the number of users with anime girl pfps on Twitter and other social media posting slurs and bigotry. It's moreso only a loose indicator the user is between the ages of 14-30, if anything.
- TiredOfLife 3mo agoFor some reason it's always underage girls.
- adrian_b 3mo agoHow do you determine whether a drawing is "underage"?
- p_l 3mo agoPlaces that want to use Anubis but find the logo not professional enough are free to pay the author, IIRC it was major "professional support" benefit :D
- tempest_ 3mo agoIf you don't want the anime girl pay for the support, otherwise you get the anime jackal. Seems like a fair deal to me.
- john_strinlai 3mo agoeveryone knows that penguins are much more professional
- Caracas288 3mo agoits the only weakness of the corpo-capitalist gestalt!
