>I like to talk seriously about art, representation, and culture. What's wrong with that?

It's no fun.

For one, you pulled your original response out of your ass. That the mascot is not a "catgirl" as identified by OP, but a canine variant of the same concept, because the project is named after the Egyptian god, is both obvious and uninteresting. You added nothing to that.

You're running around shouting "I get the joke, I get the joke" while grandstanding about how serious you are about art, one of the human pursuits helped least by seriousness, considering.

If you've decided you also need to be silly about it today, then at least have the decency to make up a conspiracy theory about the author being in fact a front for an Egyptian cult trying to bring back the old gods using the harvested compute, or whatever.

>massive failure of understanding the target audience.

Heh.

The anime image is put there as an intentional, and to my view rightful, act of irreverence.

One that works, too: I unironically find the people going like "my girl/boss will be mad at me if they see this style of image on my computer" positively hilarious.

>Maybe they could allow changing the art or turning it off?

They sure do. For money. Was in the release announcement.

Not enough irreverence in your game and you can end up being the person who let them build the torment nexus. Many such cases, and that's why we're where we are.

>That said, the anime I tend to like is more Miyazaki or Satoshi Kon and less kawaii girls.

A true connoiseur only watches chibi :3
