    That looks like the character from that meme where the cat is driving the car singing an annoying song and someone that looks like death is sitting in the passenger set quitely.

      Because the texting generation is old enough to have PhDs and thus old enough to be teachers.

        Modern meaning American?

        All communication with professors has to be official over here to prevent abuse. Phone messages don’t leave a trail that can be investigated, emails do.

        Plus I’m pretty sure you could insist on getting a phone number from your university if you didn’t want to share yours with them or if you didn’t even have one, for some reason. That would just lead to an enormous hassle for the university over here, it’s easier to just give every student an email address.

            Well, at least not in the same way as email with a centralized server.

            Unlike email, most modern messaging services are end-to-end encrypted. If an abusive professor manages to manipulate their victim into deleting the messages (and does so as well) it’s nigh impossible to verify accusations. With email, the university’s email server keeps them stored and visible.

            Unencrypted messaging poses severe privacy risks since - you know - the messaging service can read every single message.

            Usually I am all for encryption, though for official communication I don’t think it’s the best idea. It does have the minor drawback that particularly sensitive information isn’t sent (such as exam scores) but you can just check them on the university’s web portal anyways.

      It’s a mashup of Neco Arc from the tsukihime series, and of Astolfo from the fate series.

      It’s funny because it’s anime and because Astolfo is a femboy

      Neco-Arc who is a character in a few Type Moon games in the Tsukihime universe.

      Neco-Arc is a tiny gremlin catgirl version of one of the main cast Arcueid Brunestud who only shows up in what are essentially ‘hint’ scenes after the player has fucked up and needs to retry in order to progress the story.

      IMO it would make sense if their professor knew Neco-Arc and wasn’t just accidentally using a meme character, because Tsukihime is an adult visiual novel (There’s really not a lot of sex in the main story, call it 30 minutes out of a 12 hour visual novel, and the remake removes it entirely if it’s not your thing) that came out in 2000.

      If you’re at all into visual novels, I highly recommend it, the story is good (even the side characters stories) and its one of the few VNs where I finished it and didn’t despise the main character for being a complete idiot.

      Oh and for what the joke is? Uhh she’s kinda a meme on her own, and an annoying moron.

      Edit : Actually as another commenter pointed out, it’s a Neco-Arc version of Astolfo who is from the Fate VN series by the same devs. I haven’t read Fate yet (it is on my list though) so I can’t really say more about them.

        1 / 24 is still way better than my sex life.

        Also… if thats Astolfo, I’m afraid to tell you that that isn’t exactly a cat-girl

        Blah blah blah why am I reading this? I don’t even read VNs

        From the same devs as Fate

        Why did it never occur to me that

        A. Fate has a VN

        B. The Fate devs did other things too

      A little bit “you’re an idiot” a little bit “trans rights” a little bit “how much do you want that C?”

      Or just a cat girl giving a thumbs up, depending on how clued in the hypothetical teacher is.
