It was frankly weird and bit disturbing to see some of the neckbeards in engineering school obsessing about cute depiction of young girls. To this day, it definitely colours how I see random use of anime girls on CS related topics.

I have no issue with it in its original Japanese setting and I wasn’t aware of its use by the LGBT community but it seems far less depressing in this case.

There are a surprising number of pedophiles (who will immediately 'correct' people to use the term "ephebophile" instead) amongst the techbeard community. I agree it becomes uncomfortably apparent after spending a bit of time with these types.
