There have always been loads of Octocat variations[1] of "violent" cartoon characters, such as Wolverine[2]. I don't think anything is intended literally.

Ah, that is a neat collection. Xtocat may be a bit extreme for my taste, but no worries.

I understand that this stuff is all in fun and shouldn't be taken literally, I just had a rather negative gut reaction to the sword and shield and scowling. Maybe it's useful for people to know that this kind of thing will bring up negative reactions in some people. Or maybe not.
