Avoiding becoming the lone dependency peg with load-bearing anime

GIMP is a load bearing name as well.

Cheers on sticking to your guns. Prominent displays of deviance as a poison pill is truly one of the few ways subcultures have to resist mainstream exploitation.

Keep the anime character. Never get rid of it. Who cares. Your product, your choice.

I’m sure someone can create some rhetoric reply about how it’s not good to have an anime chat— etc

But who cares. Your product, your decision. And I like it :)
