It's an ASCII art of a nude woman. So what? It just seems like such a busybody thing to get one's feathers ruffled over.
The point isn’t what you (MyPasswordSucks) would find objectionable, the point is what the median would find objectionable in a professional setting. Luckily we’ve gotten away from the locker room behavior being the median and now the median is approaching good-manners behavior. This is one of the situations where the Overton window shifting makes us better as a species instead of worse.
I already do, it's called VSCode and it definitely operates like a phallus.
Once again: So what?

I'm part of this "median" you seem to hold in such high regard. If you try to silence all data points outside your preconceived notion of what the "median" view is, then what you have there isn't a median, but just a few vocal people who happen to be on your side.
IMHO it's made the world worse. We're not sterile robots. To deny us mischievous ASCII art is to deny the very things that make us human. Bring on the IDE penis. Make it widescreen if you like. It's not nearly as offensive as having a censoring big brother overlord telling us what is and isn't acceptable for the workers' enjoyment.
And any reasonably well adjusted straight male would probably get a good laugh out of the art, same as I would.
We now live in a world where female colleagues can speak in whispers about how a male colleague is hot/attractive, but male colleagues cannot engage in the same behaviour.
Trust me, I know. Because of media stereotypes about gays most female colleagues don't have any problem engaging in "girl talk" once they know I'm gay. Like damn I don't care, I'm just a dude.
A hypothetical DNS server might greet you with "All your zones belong to us!".
DNS is usually UDP, so it's tricky.
Maybe a database server? We don't even have to modify the original quote.
