And the author is breaking a social contract of not shoving stuff I don't want to see in an excessive amount (or being a contributor of it). Before I wouldn't mind to see some anime here or there, it's quite cute for most people. But lately I see it in much more places and more aggressive.

Some project even took it to the next level and displayed a furry porn. I think anime and furry graphics are related, esp. in the weird obsession of the people to shove it to the unsuspecting people, but since it's "cute" it's passable. Well unless it gets into the porn territory.

On the other hand I applaud the author for an interesting variation of making the free product slightly degraded so people are incentived to donate money. The power of defaults and their misuse.

Personally I'm not fan of enshittification of any kind even a slight one even when it's to my own detriment.

Except the author is not shoving any stuff at you. Author doesn't owe anything to you and can do whatever they want and you doesn't owe the author the obligation to use their software.

It's not business, it's a person giving something free to the world and asking people who uses it to play the game. You can chose to not play the game or to not use it, but you can't act like your issue with an anime character is the author's fault. Just don't install it on your server and go ahead.


Not directly. But he knows it will get used in the current unfortunate landscape and that people will put it in front of their web pages. Then as a visitor of these pages I'm forced to see it. So yes indirectly he is shoving this stuff at the people.

Are you sure you have the right pronouns for Xe?

This is your weird association and hang-up. That's on you to deal with, not Anubis or the rest of the internet.
