you could have not wasted my time reading your reflexive retardation by reading literally the second sentence in my thread.

Those 90s cartoons were remarkably smart and crazy with what they got away with. Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, and Ahhh! Real Monsters! were all fantastic shows.
This clip was in the original children's show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V103Aw3lq1I
I have no idea how the fuck this was approved and slipped by the censors. But it's fucking hilarious. The kids won't understand it, but I remember my father laughing his ass off at stuff that I didn't get when I watched these shows as a wee lad.

The one thing I give them credit for at least is they did it in a way where they didn't exactly normalize or sexualize the character. The main characters were all kind of weirded out by the situation. Eventually yes they accept the character in question as the opposite gender, but Rocko was kind of put off at first and didn't know what to say. So at least they didn't force it down our throats like other Netflix programming. For the most part characters were either indifferent, weirded out, or initially opposed.
Considering the whole plot was to show how much everything has changed since the 90's it did do a good job of that. But yeah what do you expect from a show where every character is a stereotype?
