Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven't tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?

What foss app uses hentai in branding?

Not hentai but "Anubis", the webscraper deterrent has an anime girl and it looks quite unprofessional, and what's worse is something like balancing Anubis' scales would be a much better image than a girl with a magnifying glass.
