It's, uh, yeah.
It's WTF Friday.
This is... uh...
This is the first time I've ever been truly ashamed of drawing something. Like, not 'this picture is of poor quality' ashamed, but deep, soul-scarring shame. I-can-never-scrub-hard-enough-to-clean-away-the-dirt shame.
Anyway, this stems from something that really, really disturbed me as a kid; anthro animals owning pet animals. When I was a young girl, I owned this book... a little Minnie Mouse picture book, about her and her friend's new puppy. The thing that really, REALLY freaked me out was the fact that her friend was a dog. It was a dog owning a dog.
I just couldn't get my head around it... it was so unnerving. Was the pet dog a slave? Was it considered a lesser being for some reason, and subjected to such treatment? Was it a dog of lower iq, and therefore destined to be the plaything of some sociopathic child?????? What sort of dystopian future was this??!!???
Yeah, I dwelled on this a bit too much for a six-year-old... or maybe not enough. Don't give me that 'they're just the unevolved versions of the anthro animals, like monkeys and humans' excuse. No, there's something far more sick at play here... far, far more disturbed.
Like everything else in the world, apparently this phenomenon has a TV tropes page: [link]

PS: Can you tell who my least favourite cartoon character is?
PPS: Goofy Movie was a solid film. No lies.

I also linked this to some friends. The level of WTF was great among them.

I can't hate Mickey. I can hate the corporate Disney diarrhea splattered all over the modern world, but I can't really take it out on the character.
I think about the best possible answer to that age-old conundrum we're ever gonna get is an "official-unofficial" explanation I remember reading. This was about the time the first Kingdom Hearts was released, and one of my old gaming rags was curious. The response they got was that it's not that Pluto is a dog, but that Goofy, Mickey, Donald and the rest are Human. Just with animal themes for stylistic purposes. Which I guess is their nice way of saying "furries", but there you go.
Although it says something when the tidiest explanation is that everyone in the Disneyverse is a horrible mutant.

Haha, my hatred of Mickey started long before I knew anything about the 'dark side of Disney'... just personal taste
"Although it says something when the tidiest explanation is that everyone in the Disneyverse is a horrible mutant." LOL I love it!

A fair point, though Mickey has been a star for a while and he deserves a slave of some kind.

I am with you on least favourite. I have never ever liked Mickey Mouse. He shits me off. However i dont think i much considered the implications of dog owning dog. Thinking about it now though, it's pretty lolerific just how disturbing these 'child friendly' things are once viewed with a critical logical eye.

I didn’t think much about that phenomenon in cartoons until I discovered TVtropes a while ago, but I’ve never seen it as disturbingly pointed out as this.

It's something that one can think way, way too much about, and never have a satisfying answer
It just gets worse and worse...

This is one of those images I would totally fave, except for the fact that I really, really don't want to look at it ever again. Pluto down on all fours is going to be with me a long time.

I always shunted it out of my brain by telling myself that even though they looked similar, the talking dogs and the non talking dogs were different beings entirely. I like your idea better.

First of all, I had a french exam this afternoon and it was so bad, that my mind was screaming: ''WTF FRIDAY THE 13TH!''
It was awfull. So the point of this, is that I was looking forward to your WTF Friday, in the hope that it could push away what has been bothering me so far.
Congratulation, your WTF is stronger then my WTF. I'm fairly certain that winning at this, is not a good thing. I'd offer my help to scrub-away-the-dirt shame, like you scrub my back and I'll scrub yours, hopefully the shame might go away some day. But such a proposition would be impolite and worser...worsen...worstess...worsenly...would make WTF worse than what it already is.
I'd venture the guess that your least favourite is Mickey Mouse.
I'd venture aswell that it is very appropriate the sun is shedding tears.
I should venture less in saying that this notion had been noticed by myself years ago, but the usual logic of 'oh it's just a cartoon, stop thinking about it' made it slip by without much more thought.
