> (though this isn't the case for Anubis) the cliche inappropriately dressed inappropriately young anime characters dawned as mascots in an ever increasing number of projects

I think the fact that people bring up things that the Anubis mascot isn't when talking about Anubis is more telling of their own harmful (and potentially racist) biases against Japanese-styled media than it is about the idea of having anime-styled mascots for free software projects.
