    I used Wallpaper Engine for a bit and was amused when I found the anime filter option, but there is a lot of it. I’m not surprised to hear that bad actors found a way to exploit its popularity.

        Is dbzer0 known for anime content or something? I thought the main one was ani.social.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball:_Sparking!_Zero

          Not into it myself, but I presume from the common abbreviation that it is named after the anime series.

            I think it means division by zero

              Wow! Don’t I feel dumb. All this time I’ve been making an assumption based upon a common abbreviation. Thank you for clearing that up.

                Yeah, imagine an instance completely based off anime.
