“the current corporate Disney culture has no interest in Roger, and they certainly don’t like Jessica at all.”

One of the few movies protected from being remade. Disney won't do it because it's problematic and Disney is too autistic about their IPs to let anyone else do it either.

>they certainly don’t like Jessica at all.
I did see a Jessica pin, or two, when I was at WDW this week

Based non-sequel user.

Thank Christ.

Richard Williams doesn't deserve to have his work in the movie shat on like that. Not during his lifetime, at least. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the only thing he gets credit for, let him keep it.

Jessica sadly wouldn't survive the current socio-political environment.

>REMEMBER ME, user?!

why don't they like jessica ?

who are you quoting

Jessica was so good though. She wasn't a whore, she was blackmailed and her appearance wasn't something she chose, she was just drawn to be attractive, they explicitly said that in the movie.

Disney is retarded.

Shit like this is the reason The Hays Code fucked U.S. animation for a good portion of the 20th century, getting outshined by France and Japan despite the latter suffering its own diminishing returns, and why we're still stuck at the South Park/Family Guy ceiling

Isn't this a weird way to describe a movie that was made in 1988?

Sexist.
She's literally a caricature of the femme fatale trope but modern identity politics lack any kind of subtlety or understanding, all they see is a female character who's defined by her ability to appeal to the male and that's "problematic." Women can't want to look good for men.

Makes me want to design this type of chracter more just to spite them. Because I'm not letting whoever is engineering this WIN.

Ok hold it right there.
What does "femme fatale" even mean in this context? Jessica Rabbit is a sexual performer lady, not a deadly sex woman.

Stuff like this you see common these days in western media makes me wonder. WHAT exactly is BABD's purpose now? They "REBEL" against the tyranny of sexy women, but when western media are just as shy about depicting that, ESPECIALLY Disney, what are they rebelling against? Because "THE MAN" is working towards their interests these days and only a bunch of virgins on Twitter, porn sites and Pixiv are the last bastion of THE PATRIARCHY.

Why aren't they celebrating their victory? They're still pretending that their enemies are stronger than ever.

In this context I believe user is merely using a familiar term to describe a sexy lady who isn't entirely straight-laced as opposed to saying Jessica is a sexual caricature who has done morally questionable acts or acts that deviate from what is socially considered acceptable.

It's just shorthand.

But Jessica wasn't trying to look good for men, don't put that shit on her. Just write her character to have more agency, it's easy!

Because it's all about perception. It doesn't matter what the facts are because as long as enough people believe something is true, they will enforce it as the truth. This is not something new.
Ergo, maintaining the image of the underdog is the only way to maintain leverage. As soon as you are no longer the underdog, you have ceased winning. Perception!

So we're stuck with women can no longer be sexy and men who can no longer be macho; all we're left with these bland, lumpy looking characters who you wouldn't fuck. Or maybe you would. Fetishes originally came about because punishment was associated with normal sexual attraction, so all that attraction had to be redirected onto something else that would not result in punishment.

I kind of hope the cartoon industry will swing back around and give use a sexy-lady macho-man duo who don't go out of their way to subvert any expectations.

Thing is though, they have no real power when you REALLY think about it. They are literally the naked Emperor. They act as if they have the authority on what is considered good taste, but it turns out that their tastes are just as plebian as places like Yea Forums.

Plus, I think we are at the stage where sexy-lady macho-man are nostalgic and dangerous, so there's precedent in bringing it back.

Seems like a dumb shorthand. There should be another name for that. Get someone who can speak frog to come up with something.

I don't even know what counts as power in a social context these days.

All I know is if you don't have some seemingly insurmountable enemy to rail against, then that means that you now ARE the seemingly insurmountable foe for others to rail against.
The prospect of becoming that is what terrifies anyone of actually claiming victory in this day and age. So victory is actually less desirable than a constant struggle.

Or at least that's how I see it.

They suspect she murdered the guy initially, shes set up to be a femme fatale

Fuck political correctness

The femme fatale, "a woman to die for", is a stock character in hard-boiled detective books, which HFRR is a parody of.
