antibigotry noticethis post does not support or normalize misgendering nonbinary people. wakko generally seems to canonically accept he/him pronouns, but if that weren’t the case the behavior exhibited in this post would be unacceptable, harmful, and vehemently condemned, and would be showcased here only as an example of and condemnation against bigotry, and should not be understood as condoning.

They did not necessarily misgender a nonbinary person if the aforementioned nonbinary accepts the he pronoun.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 43 points 1 year ago

you are absolutely correct. :) only put the disclaimer because this post got taken down from r/tumblr because on the surface it might appear to promote transphobic action.

The general rule of the Warner siblings is that they're whatever they need to be for the joke to work and if you disagree you don't get it.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 15 points 1 year ago

they just like me frfr

Gender fluid!

Because they're drawn that way.

Its good, but finger Prince will always be my favourite.

That joke is even better when you know the story behind it. What they would do is put extremely over the top jokes into the script for the censors to pounce on so that the slightly off color joke they wanted two pages later would seem tame by comparison.

That was one of those jokes and somehow it slipped by everybody.

Ahhh, an early form of the Team America approach. Matt & Trey shot the most over-the-top nonsense they could think of so the MPAA busybodies would label it NC-17 and go 'but it'd be R if you removed the sex scene where the puppets shit on each other.'

It's comedy as ablative armor.

What was the tame-by-comparison joke it was paired with?

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

Honestly I can't remember. I just remember reading, many many moons ago, a writer talking about that.

Mine's the siblings managing to get the Guru to lose his enlightenment by asking him why hot-dog buns come in pack of eight but sausages in packs of five. It's a highly important theological issue for Discordians.

Speaking of: Now with DC being part of Warner it's high time for an Animaniacs / Harley Quinn cross-over. The gal's superpower (besides superhuman agility and being a genius psychologist) is to be annoying to the point of immortality: She once died, neither God nor Lucifer fancied spending eternity with her, so they sent her right back.

For sheer fourth-wall-denying chaos, it should be Squirrel Girl.

edit: Fuck, is she Marvel? Serious brain fart there.

edit edit: Appearing in DC crossovers anyway would be in-character.

If you want fourth wall denying sillyness in DC, Ambush Bug is your guy.

[-] dwemthy@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, but the crossover should be stealthy. Make it seem like just a new Harley Quinn comic but in the first issue she gets caught by Batman and locked up in an unspecified location. CliFfhanger eNding, there's sOmeone or something in there with heR in the Dark. Next issue reveal that she's in the WB water tower.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The only downside to that idea is you KNOW the previews would ruin any reveal. Shows are so much better going in blind. At least decent ones.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I still can't believe they got that past the censors.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

this made my mouth make a chuckle sound.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's your agender right there!
