    I genuinely cannot believe that people still care about this in the year 2024.

    Like, does anyone care if people draw animal people looking cute or sexy or just with human proportions or anything in between? Does it really bother anyone or is it just fun to try to bandwagon something that freaked some housewives out in the 90’s because some inside edition episode? It’s just drawings of animal characters like have been done for literal millenia. Imagine if some of the more “notorious” disney films came out today, people would lose their minds.

      Oh yeah, because when I see Egyptian hieroglyphs, I think sexy beasts.

      The point is not the anthropomorphism. The point is related tothe deliberate sexual undertone. And I’m not even a prude. I don’t care much about what people prefer. It’s just that the Internet broke us.

      It’s like the word “cuck” (ugh.) A scholar may use it in the utmost right context, and yet, all that word does is infuriate me because of the overuse the The_Donald crowd gave to it.

      Woah, hey, easy there. You’re starting to take this personally. Dial it back a little.

      Nobody cares that it’s a horny image. This is the internet in 2024. The artist just managed to hit that sweet spot of genuine effort + not quite skilled enough = unintentionally hilarious. It’s bad movie night, but for comics.

      We’re all laughing at the stripper cop who the artist genuinely expected us to take seriously, not complaining that there’s clutches pearls big titty cheetah cops!

      You mean like zootopia?
