| The GitHub unicorn doesn't look as if it came out of a furry dev's wank bank. |

| I'm glad that they kept the anime girl rather than replacing her with a sterile message. The Internet should be a fun place again. |

| Because the world is full of haters? I personally find anime kind of cringe but that's just a matter of taste. |

| Why? It has sexual connotations, and it involves someone under the age of consent. As wikipedia puts it: "In a 2010 critique of the manga series Loveless, the feminist writer T. A. Noonan argued that, in Japanese culture, catgirl characteristics have a similar role to that of the Playboy Bunny in western culture, serving as a fetishization of youthful innocence." > Thinking about it logically This isn't about logic. |

| ▲ | troyvit 4 days ago | parent [-] | | > This isn't about logic. Clearly you proved that. What has sexual connotations is wildly subjective and plucking the opinion of one author/poet's critique from 15 years ago doesn't make it fact today. | | |
| ▲ | tgv 4 days ago | parent [-] | | It's about perception and feelings. If anime cat girls have sexual connotations (for a large enough group), that's the way it is. That critique didn't come out of thin air, and its age is hardly relevant. The association has been established. If you use a symbol that has a certain association, you shouldn't be surprised if people react to that association when they encounter that symbol. There's nothing wrong with "subjective", by the way. You seem to think it discredits something (can't say what exactly), but this topic is subjective. It's not about logic (as if anything outside maths ever is). |
