Still, we should celebrate the characters who are designed to be nonbinary, to represent that community, not try to decide for that character 30 years later.

Right, to me it feels dishonest and pandering to change a character later like this. I don't feel it's winning points with anyone.

Oh, nevermind then. Yall, no points can be given, this person feels it.

I'm glad you were here to discount the other posters who were enjoying it. That was a close one.

Someone holds a different opinion and is engaging in civil discussion. Boo, not allowed >:[

Nah. Abed in Community is the best example of how you can have great representation for a group (autistic people) even if the character wasn't initially written with that trait in mind. He was initially just written as a character, not an autistic character. Animaniacs had plenty of gender fuckery going on that kids like me noticed in the 90s

I did notice it that too. All of them wore clothes opposite of their perceived gender at one point. But it’s a cartoon. They are genderless. And not in a nonbinary way. They are whatever the script tells them to be.

Yes, and in the script in the OP, wakko is genderless and nonbinary

In the script it’s also making fun of people who claim they don’t have an agenda, but they really do. It’s subtle, but this is a right-leaning comic.
