    For all the places I’ve encountered that used Anubis, I didn’t bat an eye because it fits the vibe. But then again, I am a weeb. But also the image isn’t even that egregious. I’d say it’s atypical for a cartoon character, but that might be because I swim snorkel in sewers.

        I heard of Anubis before a few times around posts surrounding Cloudflare’s (CF) efforts around web scrapers previously. Truth be told, I hardly see the Anubis screen pop up. If the site or service is big enough, it would be using CF. If it’s small enough or niche, in my mind, it shouldn’t have that problem and doesn’t need it. I can see big enough niche service and sites getting hit though, and can’t pay for CF so they use Anubis. And sometimes those are anime related sites, though that’s how I found it in the wild. I think catbox.moe is using anubis, and I think that’s where I sometimes encounter it.

        I assume “swimming snorkel in sewers” is a self deprecating way of describing exactly how “weeb” they are.

            Yes that basically. I go to image boards (no, not that one) to find anime images. Often time that would entail seeing crazy shit.

            I actually had another sentence written before but it didn’t sound nice enough and swim snorkel somehow got posted. But I decide to just leave it at that

      My universities website uses it and they recently replaced the standard logo with a custom one.

      I can’t really even comment if it’s out of place or not because I know what Anubis is and get more excited about someone using it then I even think “is a cat girl out of place here?”
