Jessica Rabbit for me
First 10/10 on the spectrum mouse crush.
Gadget never once even understood every animal on the series hit on her every day. Never cared. Got her shit done. Loved her every episode.
I’m convicted that Ritsuko in Evangelion is loosely based on Gadget. I’ll fight you over this.
Every time someone describes her I feel like I should know Gadget but I missed the show. You just answered it for me I think I married her.
In a flash I was sent back, to the moment where it all began, psychically traveling to a gloomy Saturday afternoon in 1988.
I was sitting on the orange velvet couch watching “Catteries Not Included,” when suddenly, an arousingly confident Gadget Hackwrench appeared and asked for my help fixing the ever-beleaguered Screaming Eagle. I don’t know, I acquiesced. And as I handed her the hog ring pliers, her fuzzy digits grazed mine, and in that moment, truly, I was wooooke.
ROFL somehow I had never seen this before, thank you
Onyx is that you?
And that, Kion, is how I met your mother.

Thanks for cropping into the screen properly
I am the metamucil of shitposting.
how many more runs til’ you level-up to miralax?
Max level with optional Prestige level reset is “Mineral Oil Enema”
Damn. For a second there, I thought I was going to go uncalled-out on this thread.
Ngl, happened to me while just scrolling and seeing random non-r34 art on the internet as a kid.
Hellllll yeah
Except it would be on one of these bad boys.
If only… our 27” family CRT was like a thousand dollars. A nobody had rear projection TVs until like the 2000s!
We had one but I wasn’t allowed to game on it because my parents were worried about burn in
Me in 2026 to myself: Be careful about burn in.
Also me in 2026 back to myself: Engineers solved that with hardware and software a long time ago. Burn in is incredibly rare now.
Me again: Remember how mad dad got about the Cartoon Network logo in the corner?
Me, frustrated: Dude, we haven’t watched network TV in 20 years.
My final stand: Dad was really mad, bro.
They were right to. My brother and I burned dad’s rear projection tv in minutes playing megaman x.
I had a friend with rich parents who had one and it diiiiiid have some burn-in. Old rear-projection and early plasma TVs were verrry susceptible to that hahaha
As a kid, I would have been CRUSHED if we had one of these and I couldn’t play SNES on it…
I’m more concerned about the DVD case which barely existed in 96 lol
Oh, wow! I played Mario 64 on one of those, on a Nintendo 64 imported from Japan before they released in the USA. Memories…
I hate this thread and all it’s comments, I had different plans for tonight
I mean, there is a direct path from the marketing mindset that gave us OG He-Man to Andrew Tate.
And from Barbie to the Kardashians.
Masturs of the Universe!
Hey, what’s going on?
Not on THAT TV
I miss furniture TVs.
They just make sense!
Y’all, the Animaniacs had a genuine thirst trap character: Minerva Mink.
Furry was a new concept for me in the 2010s. Draw something like this, and they flag you.
If you drew images like this in the 90s, did most people call it out or did they give you the ol’ “nice!” Comment?
Not to mention The Nurse.
Helllooooo
Nurse
Minerva Mink
She only had two starring shorts because the showrunners decided she was too sexy for something aimed primarily at kids. Didn’t even get to the suits asking them to tone it down, they just decided they had crossed a line all on their own.
I did like when she was a foil to Slappy Squirrel.
And she was in the show’s opening
You beat me to it. It’s wild that the showrunners spontaneously went “hey uhh, maybe we need to tone it down?” On a show with characters like the nurse, somehow Minerva was too far.
Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice. The reason why I still like goth chicks
Winona Ryder in anything.
I wonder if there’s a correlation between the rise in sexy anthropomorphized animals and furries.
When I was younger they absolutely had humanized animals in cartoons, but they were super modest if they were human-ish, otherwise they were just talking animals. At some point we gave them…”generous” human attributes.
Here’s the original sexy-dog version of Betty Boop cast as a sex worker a sailor visits in 1930. This stuff has been going in in cartoons for about as long as there have been cartoons.
There’s exceptions, of course you’re right. But it became way more common in and after the 1980s. Even in earlier cartoons there were “sexy” animal humans, but they were usually mocking the human, not actually there to be human. Even in your example the anthropomorphizing is weird, not really Lola Bunny part of the show.
The explanation everyone is missing here is the Hays Code.
Pre code movies from the 20’s and 30’s can be quite racy, even occasionally including things like gay people.
Oh certainly. I do recall several cartoons (reruns from ‘40s and earlier) that had deer or other animals turning into smokin’ hot pinup farm girls luring inept farm boys on the hunt or to explain the male animal’s lust. Then again, the appearance was often brief and they tended to not be three dimensional characters like modern ones.
There are probably at least two factors, as someone who is unfit to comment this confidently on the question.
On the one hand you have a coming of age of kids who were exposed to a high dose of Warner Brothers smut.
Many of them are coming of age at the same time as the internet, making it easier for a niche community to form or be found and grow.
This seems totally plausible but again, I’m bereft of actual knowledge on this topic and I’m at least partially trying to provoke someone better fit to the question to educate me.
I’m tempted to think there was some creepy Epstein kind of deal going on behind the scenes
Thank you for the added erudition WorldsDumbestMan
My off the cuff guess would be the success of who framed Roger rabbit even if Jessica rabbit was not an animal.
I wonder if this effect could be seen in egypt’s ancient society with all the animal head gods.
I like how many unsought questions this post actually answers. Everybody get a bonus Sexology skill point.
Jessica Rabbit says hi.
