Considering the ubiquitous Touhou references (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Cirno#Personality https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Cirno#Personality), I would assume that the project is at least 4chan-adjacent (or at least adjacent to the culture of 4chan's early days; the demographic transition from people pretending to be [bad thing] to actual [bad thing] people who are not in on the joke is a matter of internet lore). This makes it quite likely that this is exactly the reaction the authors were hoping for, with the intention of keeping out the first group in the blog post's trichotomy ("Those who won’t use 9Front because of it, those whose choice is unaffected by it, and those feeling welcomed by it.").

- seabird 6y agoI would go so far as to say that 9front's marketing works to try and attract only the second group in that trichotomy. The first page is footed with BLM and antifascist logos. Plan 9 is everything an old-school 4chan technology poster is interested in, and they're hard-wired to offend through whatever means possible.
