OP is relaying an opinion they got from multiple people and frankly an expected one. You got weirdly mad at them for it.

You immediately trying to put an age on the mascot is totally not weird, either.
Why would anyone care what the domain name or the mascot for a tool is, if it does the job?

Their colleague posted a laughing emoji, I think they are not trying enough. They are also attacking the mascot themselves, which conveys they don’t want to use the tool themselves either and are just looking for validation.

They said they already went through this once before. Also you assume that “it’s weird” is some kind of vicious attack but it’s not.

If a random visitor visits your website and they see a weird anime girl drawing talking about security, what is the chance of them just bouncing away afraid that it is a virus or an unsafe website? I’d say it’s definitely higher than 0%.
Very high. And they'd be completely wrong in doing so.
Let's not pretend that it's the furries fault that everyone discounts their work because of how they present themselves, especially for things they are giving out for free.
