The past few days I've been watching Darkwing Duck, and it got me thinking. When did anthros and furries become weird? If we think of it, some of the most popular TV programming of all times have been anthro characters. Even all the way back to when movies and TV were fairly new, we had Mickey Mouse, and as time progressed he gained friends. Other mice, ducks, dogs, and so on, I’m not even sure how many characters there are in that family.

Fast forward to when I was young, I’m 24 now so think late 80’s/early 90’s. Then we had shows such as Tail Spin, Darkwing Duck, Sonic The Hedgehog (the one with Jaleel White as the voice.. only good sonic series in my opinion), Duck Tales, Thundercats, and more, I just can’t think of them off the top of my head. We even had a little children’s show called “Zoobilee Zoo” where they dressed up as anthros. Everyone accepted it, no one was weird for liking it.

Yet now, while there are still movies like that, it’s not as popular as it used to be, at least it doesn’t seem to be to me. And if you’re found to like that sorta thing you end up being shunned..

I don’t get it.
