It's actually a genius idea. If you are someone who the professional presentation of not having an anime girl on the loading page is required, then you can afford to fork over the cash to fund development.

Per personal communication, this is precisely why the developer did that.
I guess the disconnect here is a bunch of HN'ers believing professional companies and websites want to attach their branding to a sexualized anime character and that they are willing to pay to remove it.
Which one then wonders why they would install it in the first place.
Sexualized? It’s just a cartoon/anime character holding a magnifying glass
In any case, if you run a professional website, this immediately comes off as juvenile and/or amateurish. And am y people just assume it's part of your website.
Money can be used to purchase goods or services, such as an unbranded version.
not when you are pushing a sexualized depiction of a child in the format of a cartoon as your product
that is a no-no square in judeo christian societies
> ... sexualized ...
Perhaps you should check if anybody else sees what you see. After browsing through every image I could find in the history of this project, I, at least, am convinced: any "sexualization" _you_ see is entirely in your head.

I really hope you're not trying to whitewash your own bias by alluding to those religions. From everything I've read of their texts, and interacted with practioners of those religions, I'm unaware of any bias that classifies _cartoon depictions of children_ as "sexual".
Perhaps you should try whitelabeling instead. Don't like the packaging? Package it yourself!
There is absolutely nothing sexualized about the Anubis mascot.
What specific aspects of the image do you feel are sexualized?
