glumshoe: I'll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn't? glumshoe (screenshotted reply) "It’s the racism ain’t it?" Sometimes, sure, but why was Maid Marian a fox in Robin Hood? There wasn't anything particularly “foxlike” about her personality, and it would make more sense for her to be a lion. They made her a fox only because Robin was a fox and making her something else would be “weird”, but | don’t think the wolf cop or the chicken maid or the lion prince were actually meant to represent race. ‘ countesspetofi: The best inter species couple is Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits in A Muppet Christmas Carol, because all their sons are frogs and all their daughters are pigs, as God clearly intended. glumshoe: there are only two genders: frog and pig ’s forestdwellingrat: I've pointed out to my friends that the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy’s kids are like that means either 1) they reproduce asexually and the children are clones of each parent OR 2. Kermit and Miss Piggy are members of the same sexually dimorphic species, hence the split between their male and female children
