Um… they are called the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister). Is he non binary now?
Not originally, but this does sound like the kind of boundary pushing puny joke they’d make to make the straights slightly uncomfortable.

I don’t think so.](https://youtu.be/lY2kC5fZG64?si=uPoB4wzgMdvy6e-J)
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.
Yup! They did a remake in 2020, never watched it myself cause Hulu but I’ve heard some good things about it.
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.
The show is politically charged because… there’s an enby person? Or am I misunderstanding you
It’s a joke based on Yakko not having a gender. Which doesn’t make sense. Therefore my confusion.
Which doesn’t make sense. Therefore my confusion.
There are people who do not identify as having a gender, this is commonly referred to as “Agender”. People who identify as Agender may not identify with the concept of gender, some may attempt to present gender neutral, while others may not make an effort to present any specific way. It’s one of the many NonBinary identities, that is people who don’t identify as exclusively male or female. I can understand though that for some it might be confusing as it has only been receiving mainstream recognition relatively recently.
Cartoons operate under the rule of funny, anything is allowed for the joke
