Sure there've been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who's always there in the comments to say "Yo, I'd totally tap Tigger's ass", "That Coyote character is a snack."
Bugs Bunny dressed in drag etc etc etc. It's not new. You're just noticing it is all.
Bugs in drag was funny.
Gadget in a dress got kids questioning themselves.
Idk the ancient Greeks and Egyptians are definitely suspect with some of the stories they made
People say that about every character and real actor. Where have you been?
I'm speaking in historical terms here. By new I mean within the past couple of decades.
I'm sorry you can't find a comments section more than a few decades old. Perhaps it's because the Internet didn't exist?
But I can guarantee people have been weirdly sexualizing everything forever. Roman artwork proves that.
If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I'll withdraw my whole line of comments.
Not directly artwork, I believe the below was derived from text.
