Um... they are called the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister). Is he non binary now?

There's a panel from the Animaniacs comic where Wakko states that his gender is "other". It floats around the internet ever few years. The comic was, I believe, back in the 90s so I'm not sure I'd say "now". They have always used the term "brother" and he/him pronouns for Wakko though.

Wait, there's comics? I thought it was just a cartoon

I love how politically charged the show is haha

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The show is politically charged because... there's an enby person? Or am I misunderstanding you

Sure, let's pretend the gender stuff ISNT a current political issue, and ignore all the political jokes the show makes, and then imply some bullshit like I have an issue with NB because I said "politically charged" because why not? Fuck off. My partner is part of the community.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You're absolutely right, and I'm sorry for jumping to the worst assumption. I'm gonna take this as a sign to log off and touch some grass. /gen

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I appreciate your apology. Thank you.

id wager that gender expression (or lack of) isnt a political issue, our rights being stripped is the political issue. same goes for racial segregation, a person of color isnt a political issue, the wrongs done to that person are

In the remake’s theme song; “We’re gender balanced, pronoun neutral, and ethnically diverse!”
While the fun is in the fast pronunciation of longer words, they’re pointing to a split gender diagram chart between Yakko (male), Dot (female) and Wakko (split). So even if it’s based in a joke from old episodes, WB seems to have run with it.

Yup! They did a remake in 2020, never watched it myself cause Hulu but I've heard some good things about it.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's okay. Not nearly as good as the old show, but that's not a surprise.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They have some gall to call it a "Hulu Original."

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Since the new episodes are produced by Hulu, I'd say it still counts as one even though the show originated elsewhere.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I cannot aggre with your position, sir, however I will defend your right to be wrong with my life.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fair enough. I see it as them referring to the specific season, not the overall show itself.

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

It's not canon but he has been adopted by the NB community as a sort of an icon.

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Not originally, but this does sound like the kind of boundary pushing puny joke they'd make to make the straights slightly uncomfortable.

[No no no. Finger Prints.

I don't think so.](https://youtu.be/lY2kC5fZG64?si=uPoB4wzgMdvy6e-J)
