Glad I got my anime girl wallpapers the old fashion way.

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.

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.

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.
