It seems to come up every time this complaint arises. "I want to use an open source project without being associated with furries" isn't that unreasonable of a request.


My understanding is that it's nigh-impossible to run a website without having a dependency on furry-maintained infra (even just basic stuff like BGP)


There is a difference between some maintainer somewhere being involved in a subculture and graphics from it being the first thing you see when you visit an unrelated website.


My problem is more that I don't want open source infrastructure I don't control to be infected by this. For my own website I can just make it efficient enough not to need hacks like this.


> open source project

So, one can put in the minimal effort of removing one div.

> being associated

There's no requirement of association of any kind. See above and below.

> request

Cool. Pay for your own branding. Request fulfilled. No? Then it's a demand, not a request.
