When an open source software package with the name Pantyshot appeared on The Python Package Index (aka “The Cheese Shop”) it started a controversy around names, censorship and gender in the open source software community. Things got complicated when it was revealed that one of its primary authors was a woman.

Then they named it Misaka.
Quote:
Smit re-named Pantyshot/Upskirt after a Japanese name. Not just any name, but popularly belonging to an Anime (adult comics) character whose superpower is electricity, and is controversial due to notorious upskirt shots of the character - most especially as she is depicted as being 11 years old.

The first one is obvious. Second one is that she wears shorts. Third is that she's 15.
