Controversy
Since the introduction of Hampedi-tan to Hampedia, there has been a great debate raging across the intertubes, consisting of Hampshire students for and against the unilateral introduction of a white, underaged, female mascot for Hampedia. Some of the expressed criticisms include:
 * Hampedi-tan is a reflection of a caucasian-centrist culture, and does not accurately reflect the diverse outlook and policies of Hampshire College.
 * Hampedi-tan is the reflection of a cargo-cult-like mentality based on worshipping all things that even vaguely resemble something originating in Japan.
 * Hampedi-tan's name is perilously close to including the forbidden slang term "crqb" (encoded in ROT13 to avoid wordfilters), whose existence is only emphasized by the underdeveloped and extremely 'moe' nature of Hampedi-tan's bodily representation.
 * Hampedi-tan appears to be the work of an extremely bored Hampshire student who really didn't plan on anyone ever commenting on Hampedi-tan's existence, much less writing up a controversy section for her article.
 * Hampedi-tan represents a post-idoru critique of the immature human condition, inappropriately anthropomorphizing a user-editable database into terms that actively encourage the willful misconstruing of its mission statement and ease-of-use. Also, girls are yucky.
 * Why the heck isn't she wearing a frog suit?
