(tan - humanoid representation of an OS. Done for the end of Win98/ME support...)

I know, I know, but WinMe has worked well for me... still functional here... though this is not exactly an uncommon sight. :D (and more common than usual the past few days, as I tried (eventually successfully) to figure out what exactly about the stuff I installed/changed after installing my new DVD burner messed up my PC and made it constantly crash... :)

That was actually a little disturbing.

I said it was sad, didn't I? :(
WinME might not be the best OS ever, but it's mostly served me pretty well for 4 2/3rds years now, so I can't complain that much...

Who the heck made that, and why on earth would they use a little kid as the robot? The whole thing has this slavery connotation to it (it isn't very readily apparent that's a robot and that's certainly a weird design, I know I'd be a little disturbed at giving orders to a robot that looked like that and hearing it call me "master"). The only thing that could make it worse than child slavery is if the little kid was also black. And wow, the guilt trip there, like it's saying "I'm a failure as a slave so I'll kill myself." So much for triumph of the human spirit!
I take it back, that's not "a little disturbing", that is one of the most disturbing things I've yet seen. She might as well be tying the noose right there. And what's that other thing? Robot child with dog ears? Who would produce something like that?

Considering the apparent AGE of that thing, I believe that's called CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, and that is VERY illegal.

While the Microsoft OS-tans have standard character designs, they don't always appear to be the same age... that one is young, but others are older.
Anyway, illegality of the depicted acts if carried out in reality has never stopped anyone, least of all anime artists, from drawing things... Also, they aren't robots, but human representations of OSes... (and they aren't slaves, I'd say, more like servants... note the maid costume on Me-tan?) apparently the first one was Me-tan... Japanese people disliked it just as much as everyone else, apparently.

When did they decide to legalize child pornography?! I must have missed that news post!

Drawings aren't photographs, so drawings of things that would be illegal if they were real acts are legal. This is true in the US at least, and Japan too...
Anyway, while many are, as I said not all images of Me-tan are of an underage character... If you want something real to be annoyed at here, it's Me-tan's origin in being created by someone who really hated WinME... Quote:The OS-Tan's are the personification of Windows operation systems. It started with people discussing Windows ME on Futaba Channel (warning they don't censor anything on there - browse at your own risk) reliability and likening the OS to a fickle girl who is a total clutz, can't get anything right and then is rejected because no-one can rely on her. I'm not making this up. This has been extended to all the Windows OS's (including CE which is portrayed as a small fairly girl) and even Linux and Mac. Most of the OS-Tan's are maids (housekeepers - just like an OS right?) and or school girls.http://angelworks.cc/index.php?y=05&m=10 WinME's not that bad, darnit... :)

I work so hard to find a Me-tan image that DOESN'T insult the OS, and there you go and ruin it... :) (they are about 10-1 negative, though, so it's not exactly hard...)
