“Kind of people?” Do you mean Japanese?
Hate to burst your bubble, but they’re considered creepy in Japan, too.
Thanks for the showing off your cultural erudition. No bubble burst for me.

#12I will not be taking questions, but I do find it interesting to see which characters show up in which languages.
Also, it made me smile that we have a Ruby reading about Ruby. [1]

I couldn’t care less what you think about me, but please stop equating the “Japanese people” with “grown men obsessing over anime girls”. That’s straight up racist, disrespectful and misinformed (through foreign Anime communities I assume).

Aye, a basement dwelling nerd is a basement dwelling nerd regardless of where they are located on the planet, and are looked upon the same way. Otaku are no exception.
Otaku refers to men who prefer computers, games, anime, manga over forming real relationships. It includes obsession with cartoon or fictional girls, but includes more antisocial obsessions than anime girls. Anime features prominently in Japanese and other Asian cultures. Nothing wrong with that, but not healthy (or creepy, if you prefer) to fixate on fictional females rather than forming relationships with real peop…
No, that’s not what otaku means. Otaku can be completely disconnected from Anime, and if it is about Anime then it does not have to be connected to girls. The other way around liking the detective series conan or ghibli movies doesn’t make somebody otaku, just like enjoying a Disney movie doesn’t make you a cartoon nerd.

#15Interesting to see this on HN, even though it was mass-flagged by everyone here. Sure, it's not a technical project, but it's a cool curiosity to see from a bunch of tech hobbyists contributing edits of anime girls holding programming books. It's a fact that a lot of people in tech have unconventional interests. Plenty of "quirky" projects like that. My only criticism is using Git to host these images. Are they even using Git LFS?

Read the whole thread before calling names. I asked the OP to clarify what "kind of people" who look at female anime characters refers to. I never equated Japanese people with anything.

#18In the ruby section there isn't a single one with furry ears.
This has been a huge disappointment.

If you read what I wrote you will find I did not equate otaku with anime. I wrote that otaku includes obsession with anime girls. It can include other things too. I don't know what point you mean to make.
