This is how marketing works in Asia. Major corps do it every bit as much. You have anime mascots or you don’t sell to anyone under 40, from my understanding.
I’ve seen this image pop up now and then for like 10+ years as a meme in the Linux community and never not once did I think this.
Obviously if that’s a confirmed intention behind it, then it’s not okay, but I think you’re overthinking it, it’s just how anime designs are, the characters often look agelessly young.

The Debian logo is very similar to the progynova logo (progynova is estrogen). The above image is probably inspired by that.
This promotes pedophilia.
Idk why so many grown nerds insist on sexualizing little girls.
Edit: wow turns out this instance is full of pedophiles. Gross.

You can have a romance without sexualizing shit, it’s not all about sex.
