I'm assuming the aversion is more about why young anime girls are popping up, not about what animal it is

Why is there an aversion though? Is it about the image itself or because of the subculture people are associating with the image?

It's an aversion to the sexualised depiction of girls barely the age of puberty or under the age of consent.

I'd ask why you /don't/ have an aversion to that?

(yes, "not all anime" etc...)

I don't know why OP said 'young' at all. It has no characteristics pointing to age, and secondary gender characteristics.

So I'd ask why that makes you think of sexual consent.

What part of that image is sexualized?

You know, there are enough real pedophiles in the world, like POTUS for instance. No need to go after made up ones.

Both. I don't want any random pictures of young girls popping up while I'm browsing the web, and why would adults insert pictures of young girls into their project in the first place?

What a strange comment to make about a cartoon character.

Also, the anime reference is very much intentional at this point; while the source code is open so anyone can change it, the author sells a version for the boring serious types where you can easily change the logo without recompiling the source yourself. Adding the additional bottleneck of having to sync a custom fork or paying out to placate the "serious" people is a great way to get the large corporations to pay a small fee to cover maintenance.
