      It’s just a silly anime girl showing up on first page load. If you’re deathly afraid of seeming unprofessional, that’s gonna do your head in…

        Spot on. There were some complaints recently made by people being afraid to be seen as a furry because she has ears and a tail. It’s hilarious

        Not that it matters, but it’s not anime style, it’s a “western” style cartoon character. Compare it to e.g. the original Disney princesses, the proportions and style look like that, not like anime characters.

          tbf it is clearly inspired by anime tho. those eyes, the skirt and the cat ears are pretty typical anime stuff

      He means that many people in a corporate environment wouldn’t expect a anime girl with a magnifying glass popping up on your screen, that could reflect badly on your company. Just imagine some CEO sharing his screen in a presentation and his background is a screenshot of some hentai scene or something. It wouldn’t make you seem very professional in the eye of the other corporate people.

      That’s why companies that use anubis will usually pay for the subscription so they can replace the mascot with something else.
