    I don’t get this but judging by your 9 upvotes people do, can someone explain to me what’s going on?

      I have a Nerdfont in use, which has many nerdy things in the font as emoji. Turns out MyAnimeList uses this symbol, which in the Nerdfont is the Gentoo logo, for when they lock a thread. Just a coincidence but it leads to a lot of Gentoo logos all over controversial anime discussions.

        Thanks for explaining! TIL how to recognize the Gentoo logo (idiot user of just my distribution which is not Gentoo, have heard of other big distros like Gentoo but never bothered learning about them) and what a Nerdfont is.

          Yeah no worries Gentoo is not the biggest distro and isn’t terribly approachable. I’m a longtime Arch user and Gentoo is still a little intimidating.
