    July 2007 — a suggestive image of Wikipe-tan (not drawn by Kasuga) was proposed for use in the article on lolicon. The image was removed from Commons by Jimbo Wales, who called Wikipe-tan a “community mascot” who should not be subject to such “pedophilic sexualization”. Kasuga later drew a new image for the article which did not use Wikipe-tan.

    Poor Jimbo ain’t get enough credit for putting up with this shit.
