Forum Feedback and Administration / Re: Editorializing on 98-tan's...

The mods and I have discussed this, and we think that the section should be removed. It is not important to her as a character and there are extremely few examples mentioning it in a non-sexual manner. Other characters are often also depicted the same way and artists have and will continue to mishmash anything they want on a character.
We don't need to specify the genitals of characters.

OS-tan Talk / Re: Most underrated OS-tans?

Last post by Lily1027 - April 25, 2026, 11:31:05 AM

Moseko and Gigeko I def think are a bit underrated, and I love their designs.

I also think the Futaba Seven-tan is not nearly as popular as she could be simply because Nanami exists.

If you want to talk about heavily underrated though, most OS-kuns get a pretty short end of the stick. 95-kun, Me-kun and Mac OS9-kun I think all deserve a bit more love. I love 95-kun so much.

I also love the designs of Moseko and Gigeko! 

And yeah I also think that the Futaba Seven-tan is not nearly as popular because of Nanami, but I see that Futaba Seven-tan is popular among the Futaba channel (most likely because she originates from here lol) while Nanami is more popular among people who enjoys Madobe OS-tans.

And yeah! OS-kuns are super underrated!

Obaba is greatly popular in the Eastern fandom but doesn't get much attention in the Western fandom by comparison

I also agree with that!

Forum Feedback and Administration / Editorializing on 98-tan's Wik...

Last post by oobabasama - April 25, 2026, 01:46:13 AM

There is a section on 98-tan's Wiki page that reads;

Some depictions of 98-tan show her to be a futanari (hermaphrodite). This is problematic as the character is depicted as underage, and sexual depictions or discussion about the genitals of minors is bad. Some non-pornographic OS-tan comics have even used this trope by questioning characters, such as Homeo's, sexuality for having feelings for 98-tan.

This section is meant to inform and provide context for these depictions while acknowledging their problematic nature.

Why is this necessary? I understand (even if disagreeing with) the author's opinion but this passage applies modern-day progressive Western moral standards to a work fundamentallyc onstructed outside of that framework on a Japanese imageboard in the early-to-mid 2000s. Even bypassing the moral mismatch at hand here editorializing in this way is quite uncalled for. It's a bit insensitive

I also do whenever I have some Windows, I always set up as wallpaper an OS-tan that is a personification of that Windows.

I used to do this so committedly. Now days I just have all my OS-tan wallpapers shuffled and I see them all. It used to make more sense when I was using XP, 7 and 8.1 on different machines. Now most things I use are 10, so I include all my -tan and -kun wallpapers regardless of if they fit the OS.

MCE especially was quite niche OS. Lot of people who used regular XP had already the tools to do the same exact things as MCE was built for. I remember streaming TV broadcast over internet in VLC back in XP days. And VLC could do all the movie playback anyways.

I worked IT for neighborhood friends back in the day and there were so many MCE installs on family computers, Dell and HP especially. I don't think most of them realized it was different from Home Edition.
I never understood why MCE was a separate edition. But if you look at all the editions of Vista, it's clear Microsoft back then had some kind of obsession with making new editions.
