I think I remember that thread. IIRC, it went something very, very roughly like this:

  Future banned user: It weirds me out a bit how young the mascot looks. I've never been comfortable with cutesy, underage-looking mascots.
  
  The dogpile: How dare you insinuate that the dev a pedophile? Don't you know how anti-trans that dogwhistle is?

and the conversation degraded from there.

I'll also note that you chipped in with

> It's mostly surprising how many grown adult men go into a blind rage when confronted with a picture of a cartoon woman.

when -AFAICT- noone in this subthread expressed anything more heated than "dislike of kawaii". But perhaps you were speaking more generally, and weren't inspired by any conversation that happened in this subthread.
