I believe many others feel differently, but personally, I find the Go mascot a bit scary. Dunno the reason, but it's something that I can't easily get used when reading the articles on Go.

FWIW, Russ Cox's GitHub icon[1] is similarly scary to me.

I've never been a fan of "creepy pervert gerbil" either. I wasn't familiar with Russ's even creepier rabbit-thing, but now the gerbil makes more sense.
