I’d rather not see it. Us non-weebs are force fed anime and related shit to a point of anger. It’s extremely annoying and too much get through even with filters in place. Weebs don’t understand how bad it is, and how not just being uninterested but actual disliking it makes the internet a shitty place to be.
Add this to ublock to remove it. I am not a fan of weeb or furry shit so I figured this one out pretty quick. There’s no point in the logo even existing.
Some people on my instance regularly get their knickers in a twist over it.
Their reason: they fear to be seen as furries by people who don’t know about anubis and their mascot.
Iffor my part have the experience when there is a funny mascot or icon which is a traffic cone or a cat girl, then I know the people behind that are professionals. The quality is good and nobody bats and eye about the mascot.
Correct, but the places where it is SUCK. So if they see them as bound together, they are also the places to abuse FOSS, so this is a perfect way to utilize their own shittiness to make them behave ethically.
I approve of this business model. Make them pay extra for professionalism so it stops being the default. “You could be saving money if you just accepted cat girls” will haunt their dreams every night
Absolutely. I was just replying to the bit that professional is boring. It is, but sometimes it’s necessary because it’s what your target audience expects
I personally expect professionalism from government websites. And when buying products and services from private companies, a professional looking (and well working) website is something I want to see. Makes it more credible for me.
If the technical parts company I’m contacting has a poorly functioning website with anime shit in it, I’m definitely not going to run that by my boss lol. Sometimes the cartoon things can be used to distinguish yourself from the competition of course but I wouldn’t gamble on that in my field.
Tbf, it can be a harder sell. For instance I’m recommending Delta Chat to my contacts over Arcane Chat even though Arcane has some extra features like Markdown support, because Arcane has a weird Chibi wizard girl mascot when you first open the app.
I don’t need them assuming I’m into hentai or some shit just because of my choice of messenger, or just getting the ick and so they keep using FB messenger. Also, in fact I like anime but I’ve also always hated the Chibi artstyle, I like like, Trigun and Mazinger Z and stuff. Even then, anime is stereotypically too horny for me to want to associate with it without being able to explain how “yes most of them are, that’s why I’m extremely picky and choose mostly space violence, but there is one good horny anime called Golden Boy.” Also there’s a difference between those who like anime and those who’s entire personality is liking anime, the more web based things that have anime branding that I try to convince friends to use, the more I look like my whole personality is anime when in reality my whole personality is Privacy (and Piracy and kitties and hobbies and… but ykwim), and all that is before we throw in the furries, while they constantly insist it isn’t sexual, nobody is believing that shit (I’m sure it isn’t for some but c’mon there’s too much furry porn out there, we know already, it’s clearly sexual for a large contingent of people drawing furry futa.)
Tl;dr I get why some people wouldn’t want overly sexualized or possibly divisive (in a sense, not like politically but that isn’t the only context that word can be used in) cartoonery in logos and mascots, especially when it isn’t also their thing or they don’t want their mom asking weird questions about a meaningless logo.
Why would you remove the catgirl branding though?
Not many companies have catgirl CI.
That’s a many companies problem though, they’re the ones that should change.
Yes, but paying to support open source software is a decent compromise.

Now imagine how it feels to not care about sports or religion
Crazy how you can let such a little thing bother you this much.
Would you rather be forcefed captcha and cloudflare?

weebs built modern tools,. we should respect their culture rather than erase it…
Half joking,
They must be into kitsune girls etc.

so they’re weak is what i’m hearing
Weak, and with money.
So they are just freaks that would hate on furries if everyone around them does too
I would remove it but I can’t bother, I just don’t really like that for browsing.
It does look pretty unprofessional tbh
Which makes it funny.
I agree
how so?
It doesn’t carry the sort of seriousness and relation to the business/work that many associate with professionalism.
It’s of course subjective but in most situations, I don’t think catgirl anime stuff really fits.
Iffor my part have the experience when there is a funny mascot or icon which is a traffic cone or a cat girl, then I know the people behind that are professionals. The quality is good and nobody bats and eye about the mascot.
who cares! ‘Professionalism’ has made the internet worse.
There is a place and time for both.
If my bank used it I would assume
1: They are compromised
2: They are cringe
Sure but on the other hand it’s nice to have money in order not to starve.
you can have many money with no professionalism, they are not bound to one another
Correct, but the places where it is SUCK. So if they see them as bound together, they are also the places to abuse FOSS, so this is a perfect way to utilize their own shittiness to make them behave ethically.
The author thinks the same, hence why people can pay them 50 a month to get a non-anime version.
I approve of this business model. Make them pay extra for professionalism so it stops being the default. “You could be saving money if you just accepted cat girls” will haunt their dreams every night
That’s a sentence.
But if people didn’t care about professionalism, the author wouldn’t be paid either.
I won’t bemoan that, I just think it’s weird people need to get rid of it in the first place.
Well. Companies, people about to pay for those companies for professional stuff…
If you’re running a business, whether you need professionalism really depends on what you’re doing.
Medical software? Anything aimed at governments as your customers? Billing? Be professional.
Literally a thing aimed at software engineers? Book publisher? Most types of online stores? You can be quirky
The things that need professionalism seem like things that could pay for the non-branded version, though?
Absolutely. I was just replying to the bit that professional is boring. It is, but sometimes it’s necessary because it’s what your target audience expects
“Professionalism” has destroyed the internet, we have tools like that to fight the enshitification that “Professionalism” created.
Fuck professionalism, I want to see parts of the soul of the people who built the internet
