Am I the only one thinking that PC culture would shoot you if you didn't find the rabbit cop sexy?

[-] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

I'd say it was very much intentional to make that character attractive. Which is a weird choice for an anthropomorphic rabbit, especially in a kids movie.

Also, PC culture is full of gays, furries, gay furries and other based people.

They were making a movie full of anthropomorphic animals, including skinny gazelle popstars and Tony the tiger lookalikes. They knew they were making furry-fodder.

Shakira supposedly actually had a lot of input on Gazelle's character design, which would kinda potentially make her (Gazelle) the most expensive fursona in the world (depending on how you define "fursona").

The movie was made BY furries FOR furries

You're telling on yourself.

But it's ok. Lean into it. Embrace your furry side.

Cute and attractive share a grey fuzzy line. It's also well understood that sex sells. We also know that humans tend to feel more positively towards attractive (not exclusively sexually attractive) people/things. So it would make sense to make a product attractive, and, if anthropomorphic, with generic attractive proportions.

If kids find it cute and appealing, they are more likely to ask to see it. If parents see it's cute, it feels more child friendly, and even though they may not find it sexually appealing, good proportions are still easier on the eyes than disfigured or grotesque (plus it can be more relatable). Then you also have the adults who find it sexually attractive, and as stated previously, sex sells. You hit a much wider audience using generic attractive features and cutsy-ness, than singularly one or the other.

This is in no way iron clad fact so much as personal musings on the why. If the Bunny was not seen nearly as attractive as the current design, would it garner so much attention, and therefore free advertising?

Not really? It's just a Disney movie, all characters are attractive. Nick Wilde is also made to be hot.

Political correctness was fired in the early 2000's. It was dissected as something called "cold politeness" that wasn't really doing anything but making corporations and beaurcratic systems feel better about doing something to fix problems by slapping a new coat of paint over the mold. They subtly hired "Hey maybe just stop being a dick to people" into the role but nobody noticed it was a totally different guy.

Now when people talk about what PC would say "Don't be a Dick" struggles with feelings of never being acknowledged for the actual work they're doing. Forget what that ass PC did and try getting to know "Don't be a Dick" on their own terms will ya? They are not so bad and probably very supportive of your opinion on sexy rabbits. They attend some furry conventions I'm sure.
