Don't you hate when you see anthro animals in a show and the characters being animals don't add anything to it? no animal behaviours, no size difference, etc

Pic unrelated, I assume.
she cute
This could be made to loop nicely if someone wants to edit it.
Cat or otherwise, I wish I had a gf who I could do this with
No? Why would I care about that
No, but what I really hate is stupid time wasting questions.
>No size difference
>No animal behaviors
>Kitty has acted like a cat on multiple occasions
>Chief (a bug) is incredibly small
Zootopia is hilarious because it had great worldbuilding but chose to do an anti-racism story when it directly conflicts with the worldbuilding.
Ironically, in a story about defying your own limitations and being courageous, the writers b***hed out. It's funny that the short about Mr Bigs past fit the movies own themes better than the movie itself.
Zootopia works as a movie and i showed it to my niece precisely because the message is a mess, thats what real life is like, a mess where no one is always the victim or always the perpetrator, everyone discriminates in their own way and doing it can hurt people but sometimes its the right thing to do.
Zootopia also shows hierarchies and inborn physicality matter even if they can be overcome, structures of power are usually less effective and care little for individual struggles and you can overcome your nature instead of revelling in it. All important messages.
>no one is always the victim or always the perpetrator, everyone discriminates in their own way
It was always interesting seeing people be like "I DON'T GET IT, JUDY IS A DIVERSITY HIRE BUT THE PREDATORS ARE THE BLACK PEOPLE???"
You would have a field day with a fifth generation pilot movie of GR15.
Because it was a genuine inversion of the intersectionality concept, where instead of multiple factors combining to determine some kind of oppression hierarchy, it was a free for all depending highly on context. That kind of nuance shits on the simplified narrative of a unified struggle that these racial communists use to herd minorities into activism against whatever they say is racism.
I liked shock collar plot more
You mean the anti-autism collars?
The anti-racism collars.
name 3 examples
It was nice to see her behave like a regular cat.
Get to posting the furry sensual trash images so that you can get reported and this thread deleted for furry. You are not fooling anyone. Frick you furry bastards you ruin everything.
lol they spam-filtered your catchphrase, didn't they
I hate how ‘anthro’ is thrown around when talking about animal people. The word comes from anthropos which literally means human. We need an english equivalent of kemono.
This is not dbaru
It's Sunibee
I thought anthro was short for "anthropomorphized animal" or something other than an animal.
Take Clippy for example. The little paperclip with eyeballs. He's technically an anthro because he's an anthropomorphized paperclip
Correct, but braindead zoomers have begun using the shortened form as a noun itself to refer to these kind of characters, completely forgetting the origin of the word. English is fricked at this rate.
>Noooooo, popular vernacular changed while I wasn't looking! It's the fault of younger people!
Should have just kept using the word "furry" for funny animals, then. It's your own fault.
>English is fricked at this rate.
How old are you? Black person, English is already fricked, has been for centuries, and the only reason you don't notice is that you grew up speaking it. Its closest relative is a tiny Northern European language mostly known for sounding like the speaker is having a stroke, and it treats pronunciation the same way French treats verbs. That is, there are no rules, just learn it by rote.
But then they cant use the "anthro female" bullshit to cope
Referring to anthropomorphic animals as "anthros" 100% predates zoomers.
Did Butch ever confirm if Kitty has a heat cycle?
Yes. She does.
>Did Butch ever confirm if Kitty has a heat cycle?
>shes literally build for human wiener
>I like it when they are human wiener only
>Guys, i really REALLY need an anthro girlfriend
You buttholes is why we can't have good furry threads. No wonder the mods delete these threads.
>You buttholes is why we can't have good furry threads. No wonder the mods delete these threads.
We don't have mods.
Were the only reason your shitty threads even stay alive.
every time you complain it stays up another three hours
shes literally build for human wiener
No, because I'm not a furry, and thus accept these as cartoon characters with a funny aesthetic rather than wanting them to be actual animals so I can derive sexual pleasure
Kitty's panties.
Dudley's balls.
chopped and neutered
Could have sworn Kitty had a thong
No I actually find it more amusing when they're just like any other human in the show.
They're basically just humans with fur in most cases, aren't they?
Stop bumping the thread with shitty posts. have a nice day. Asking dumb questions when you know it's to bump the thread. Get cancer and die. No one cares about this shit thread. Seeing how inactive it is not even shit eating furries are interested.
And yet you're still planted here, reflexively responding to anything with utter psychosis.
I just view it as an aesthetic, if they actually make an animal joke then it's a bonus
I like it when they are human wiener only
Guys, i really REALLY need an anthro girlfriend
Not really. I did hate how in Bojack Horseman none of the anthro characters had tails though. That really got on my nerves for some reason.
>Don't you hate when you see humans in a show and the characters being humans don't add anything to it?
Yes, actually. Literally what is the point?
Humans actually exist though.
what's the point of anything anon? you sound moronic
You're just arguing for the sake off arguing. In 99.9% of media, non-human characters serve no narrative purpose.
You are just doubling down on your moronation
>non-human characters serve no narrative purpose.
why does anything need a narrative purpose?
are you serioulsly advocating for "the curtains are blue because they represent sadness" type writing?
things can exist solely for their aesthetic value
>Humans actually exist though.
if there is no difference between a character being a human or character being a funny animal with human traits, then there is no reason to prefer one or the other
Except that humans are a real thing, and thus do not cause viewer confusion by their inclusion in the story.
And you're once again arguing for the sake of it.
>why does anything need a narrative purpose?
... That is a real question you just typed with your real hands, you real moron.
>Except that humans are a real thing, and thus do not cause viewer confusion by their inclusion in the story.
why would anyone be confused by mickey mouse not being a mouse?
even children understand that a mouse can act like a human and have no problem with it
>why would anyone be confused by mickey mouse not being a mouse?
Because audiences are physically incapable of engaging with a story that doesn't feature a "relatable" self-insert protagonist.
thats just basic writing, you usually include an audience surrogate somewhere
it doesnt have to be the main character, but it usually is to save on the number of characters you need to have
the audience surrogate being an actual live-action human is more pragmatic than anything else
because its cheaper
>"basic writing" hinges on the audience being sociopathic morons
...
>not being a fricking moron is equal to being a sociopath
a sociopath is incapable of empathy and thus would not actually want an audience surrogate, because they would not be able to empathize with the common connection between them
same with having more relatable problems, it assumes your audience is capable of empathy and sympathy
audiences instantly feel both of those for luke skywalker when he has the very real, very human, frustration of being trapped in nowhereville instead of doing something with his life
It makes the show more appealing to kids
I don't necessarily need them to be super animal-like or have size differences but the little jokes that reference their species always make it better. I love the opportunities for puns or visual gags that it offers.
For some reason there's one part of I think it was Bojack Horseman that stuck with me because it made me laugh. Some dog-girl was holding some kind of chocolate treat and she said something like "Oh my gawd, I would like, LITERALLY die if I ate this" with that thick vocal fry. It was great.
Another I remember was in The Amazing World of Gumball, where Gumball mentioned "This is why I'm not a cat person" completely missing the irony considering he's a literal cat person.
It's the little things. Aside from just humor, the idea of animal characteristics can make for interesting world building. How would society be structured to accommodate for vastly different but similarly intelligent species? Also fun for alien/space settings.
It seems like all the animal people in Bojack were just there for animal puns and nothing else. I don't think the story would change at all if Bojack, Princess Carolyn and Mr. Peanutbutter were just regular Humans.
Is there a single animal joke on Sing movies?
*in
The porcupine head bangs and shoots quills into the audience.
The pig has hundreds of piglets.
The Cameleon secretary has a weird eye thing going on.
that's a prostetic
but yeah, this barely had any animal jokes, nothing would change if they characters were human.
nah
they couldnt sell plushies, i know.
I like when the anthro species and feral of the same species interact or engage in cannibalism.
>Don't you hate when you see anthro animals in a show and the characters being animals don't add anything to it?
Yes, this is part of why I hate the Sing movies. There is no artistic reason for them being animals; it was done out of pure laziness. Most individuals of a given species look very similar in real life, so it let Illumination save time and budget that would have spent making unique character models had the cast been humans.
Tuff Puppy doesn't apply to this at all, though.
What about fairy tale archetypes? Cowardly hare, sly fox, loyal dog, etc.
For me, it's a hare or jackrabbit.
I also admit I have a twisted affection for killer rabbits. Ladies who have a rabbit motif stick with me, and not just because of the playboy bunny/fertility aspect.
I have no real affinity for anthro rabbits, though, just those who have a rabbit-ness to them or use it as a nickname/characterization. There's just something distinct about rabbits that makes you root for them, and I say that as someone who will eat rabbit.
Chicks who have a rabbit motiffs are much like the real animal, neurotic, clumsy, easily injured and very, very stupid, its kind of amazing they identify with them for entirely different reasons.
ryona the cat.
