      There’s a panel from the Animaniacs comic where Wakko states that his gender is “other”. It floats around the internet ever few years. The comic was, I believe, back in the 90s so I’m not sure I’d say “now”. They have always used the term “brother” and he/him pronouns for Wakko though.

            Sure, let’s pretend the gender stuff ISNT a current political issue, and ignore all the political jokes the show makes, and then imply some bullshit like I have an issue with NB because I said “politically charged” because why not? Fuck off. My partner is part of the community.

              id wager that gender expression (or lack of) isnt a political issue, our rights being stripped is the political issue. same goes for racial segregation, a person of color isnt a political issue, the wrongs done to that person are

              You’re absolutely right, and I’m sorry for jumping to the worst assumption. I’m gonna take this as a sign to log off and touch some grass. /gen

      In the remake’s theme song; “We’re gender balanced, pronoun neutral, and ethnically diverse!”
      While the fun is in the fast pronunciation of longer words, they’re pointing to a split gender diagram chart between Yakko (male), Dot (female) and Wakko (split). So even if it’s based in a joke from old episodes, WB seems to have run with it.
