Do cartoons not regularly have characters in drag like they did when I was growing up? 🤔

Bugs Bunny would make himself up like a woman to confuse Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd all the time.

Women were literally banned from performing on Elizabethan stage. All of Shakespeare's parts were played by men. Even Juliet. By law.

Drag wasn't just normal for Shakespeare, it was the only option. And yet he wrote something considered one of the all-time greatest romances.

Which is kinda funny because morally, I see more of an issue with doing it specifically to deceive someone as opposed to doing it because you want to.

Though that is also where at least some of the discomfort about drag (and trans) comes from. The perception of deception, specifically when combined with a moment of potential interest, followed by the repulsion once they realize they are checking out someone of a gender they aren't interested in (where the gender they are interested in might include cis). It sucks that some turn to anger and hate in that moment when it's really a nothing burger moment.

Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

All this hate is just people like Garth, now old and red-voting, having been stewing on the question for the last 32 years.
