FOSS Mascots Getting Out of Hand

These FOSS mascots are getting out of hand. Apparently, this is the mascot for Krita. Anubis and KDE mascot also are vaguely furry lolis. I genuinely wonder if these mascots hinder adoption by corporations.

A tweet screenshot shows a blue-haired anime-style Krita mascot lounging on a jet ski in a bright ocean scene. The joke is that cute, vaguely furry anime mascots for open-source projects might seem too eccentric or suggestive for corporate adoption. It references Krita’s mascot and compares it to Anubis and the KDE mascot. EN: A tweet screenshot shows a blue-haired anime-style Krita mascot lounging on a jet ski in a bright ocean scene.
