    Looking at the average pc gamer's desktop, sounds like a 1000 IQ move to me.

    Not exactly difficult to guess coming from that instance...

    NM, I'm an idiot.

    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

    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.

    This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think having a DRM-encumbered application running in the background that relies on another large application to launch just so you can have a fancy wallpaper is kind of dumb.

    People only learn when they are affected by the consequences of exposing themselves.
    Otherwise, this wouldn't even be news.

    I don't even know how many instances, communities, and users I've had to block to stop seeing anime in my feed, and it still comes up regularly despite that.

    That's not a particular criticism of the art form (though I do find the regular depiction of sexualized kids or infantilized adults intensely creepy) but it really is very common here.

    Developer Response,

    TLDR: if you never enabled Application type wallpapers in the filters (which is off by default), then searched for application wallpapers with Chinese names and then ignored the big red warning, you are not affected by this.
