After all the comments and discussion for page two, this one is damn near redundant.
- and don't ask me how word combinations like 'unusually chubby moth' form in my head, 'cause I have no idea.

Good point
I sort of get what the movie tried to pull with its cute line - racial stereotypes and whatnot
...but cute is not really a negative thing
Maybe 'skittish' or if her ears went down call her 'flopsy' - its not difficult to come up with alternatives.
also chubby moths are super cute :)

Ya but again - 'cute' isn't a negative
Jumpy would have been a good term to use: it is technically true - but can also mean that you're jumpy in the sense of being paranoid, skittish and jumping at shadows - like if she get spooked at a big predator cop walking by or something
then she could have had a more legit case about word-association and value-laden slurs/stereotypes IMO
To me its clear they just opted for 'cute' instead to simplify it for kids

There are plenty of 'positive' stereotypes that are still harmful, tired or otherwise offensive in their laziness or broad application.
Think for example of the stereotypes that Asian people have to deal with re: being smart, good at math, 'mystical' or 'wise'. Those are all positive attributes, but in the context of those stereotypes it's pretty damn offensive to apply them to someone just -because- they're Asian.

This actually is not true everywhere. I looked it up specifically due to the shipping. I even saw a little mini-documentary about a couple that has been married for years (as partners).
The way it was described is that having a partner for years can or will be personal regardless of whether or not it is romantic. They had to switch off some days with another guy due to the way the assignments worked and it meant they had few full days off together.

Please cite references, because the one thing I know for certain is that is not true everywhere.
Bogo and Clawhauser are seen interacting far less than these two as well. If you don't want to see them get together that's fine, but personally I think they have some amazing chemistry. I think them becoming friends first makes it that much better of a relationship if things ever progress more.
It's funny even seeing one of the directors on the ship train on Twitter (Rich Moore), though he is careful to point out it's not canon and it remains to be seen what happens in the future.

This was back in 2010 so I don't know what the numbers are now, but states that 8% of 40% of agencies say that there was a policy written in their department against fraternization. That's 16.8% of police departments that have a written policy about this subject.
So I guess you're right, that's a vast minority that have an actual written policy about it. Alright then, I suppose its ok for them to be together.

I wish I could quote all of your posts for this but...
No, even in the 90's it was never really illegal in most states as far as I'm aware, if any states for that matter, for two cops to marry each other, but like with ANY job, fraternization is discouraged for the sake of actually DOING the job. There was a very early episode of COPS that had a police officer married couple. T'would be interesting to know if there were or are any states that had or do have such a stupid law. Then again there are a LOT of obscure stupid laws still across America.
Even with non-married partners the leadership encourages their officers to not goof around and do their job right. Of course most departments are not going to want two cops being all lovey dovey instead of doing their job, but Nick and Judy don't seem like the type to not take their job seriously. Also, Bogo wouldn't have a problem with it unless they start letting it get in the way of their duties. It just depends on the local chief...to be honest though I don't think they could be 'legally' fired unless they were not doing their jobs. If a police officer is fired for this reason it is either reasonably so because of a lack of execution of duty or a case of prejudice, like a manager at a restaurant firing a non-white just for that reason. The only real exception to this rule overall would be in the case of education, where a student/teacher relationship has the potential to cause a skew in the grading system for the student because of personal bias, therefore they can only start a relationship AFTER the student is no longer such.
You could always use the "their feelings will get in the way" card...but there are plenty of platonic partners on the force that if their partner was hurt it would make it pretty damn personal...there is a reason in a lot of these shows that, like real life, they tend to pull them off the case when this happens, to avoid revenge scenarios.
As far as the Judy/Nick thing goes on its own, one of the biggest arguments against it has always been the whole "*sigh*ANOTHER male/female duo getting romantic in a movie? How cliche. Just because they can screw one another they obviously MUST?"
This however doesn't really make sense...just because tons of other movies have unsuccessfully tried to force two characters together unreasonably and unrealistically, doesn't mean that a pairing born of realistic and well executed relations can't succeed or shouldn't happen.
The main reason why they work is because this is the type of ideal and realistic relationship that people in real life try to find that lead into a successful permabond. I actually adore the movie more for them NOT getting together right away, but having time pass as they develop more toward each other.
I think I had something else to say, but...I forgot.

Uhm... no. Anthro art of all kinds is the reason. Porn is just a (rather large) part of it. Don't like cute and innocent, don't look at it. Just because you're a smut addict (yeah, I'm assuming) doesn't mean the rest of us can't like stuff like this and see it here on the site.
Eric, keep up the good work!

Attaboy, Nick. That's the way to explain something like that. Although I happen to like the idea of being called sly, especially in a complimentary way, I can also understand how such a descriptive could be taken as an insult, especially if you've got a bit of a low self-esteem. Now, I want to know how you feel about someone calling you, "Foxy". What about Judy? Would she like to be called foxy instead of cute?
My two cents: I'm Chinese. All my life, I was expected to be: Secretly a Master martial artist, so jocks would regularly beat me up, just so they could stroke their egos about how they beat up a "martial artist," haw haw, that kung-fu shit ain't all that; Good at math, so everyone in my math class who did better than me would also stroke their egos; Be rich, so after the jocks beat me up, they would rob me. If I didn't have enough money to fit their preconceived notions, they would take my school supplies. Thus, I had very few friends except for the goths, because who wanted to piss off both the jocks AND the nerds? Those who couldn't give less of a shit. All of that combined into marking me as "That Guy is gonna go Columbine on us, you wait," despite my usually gentle demeanor. Instead, I became VERY good at ducking, dodging, and... um... distancing.
Judy is probably in peak physical condition and aggressive and snarky for one very simple reason: It scares the shit out of sexual predators. You have an entire prey species in which the females are considered childishly attractive, stereotypically sexually active even, in a primarily predator/male -dominated society. The Furtopia equivalent of anime would be pure Nightmare Fuel. You wanna know why I think the police department keeps them together despite any possible fraternization policies? Because there is NO SEXUAL ATTRACTION THERE. Otherwise, Judy would never be comfortable enough to stay near him. Nick sees Judy as a strategic advantage, not someone to take advantage of, and yes, I do mean that both ways. In the sequel, Nick is going to leave Judy for politics. Calling it now.

The imagery of "an unusually chubby moth" really stuck with me, oddly enough. I felt the need to bring it to life: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20075976/ I hope you don't mind. c:
