Even if the images aren’t the kind of sexualized (or downright pornographic) content this implies… having cutesy anime girls pop up when a user loads your site is, at best, wildly unprofessional. (Dare I say “cringe”?) For something as serious and legit as kernel.org to have this, I do think it’s frankly shocking and unacceptable.

    Assuming your quote isn't a joke, I think those links prove the opposite.

    Not only is it unprofessional, courts have found it impermissible.

Noted, I will now add anime girls to my website, so I'm not at risk of being misconstrued as "professional"

Isn't the mascot/logo for the Linux kernel a cartoon penguin?

    Right, but, that's different. Penguins are serious and professional.

    I have a plushy tux at home (about 30cm high). So now I'm in the same league as the people with anime pillows?

      Well, the people with anime plushies would be a better comparison. There's plenty more of those than pillows.

      It depends. What do you do with the plushy?
