here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

because like. rocky is very clearly a grown adult, he is in a long term relationship, he is a very competent engineer, and he is able to take care of himself physically and emotionally in difficult circumstances long before Grace arrives in his life. and yet because he speaks unconventionally (sometimes in third person or with unconjugated verbs), because he's smaller than Grace and ambulates differently than he does, and because he's ignorant about certain aspects of human culture and biology, soooo much of the fandom reacts to him like he's a clueless child and tries to make him cute. and i do kinda feel like. if you can't take him seriously how am I supposed to believe you can take disabled people seriously, when many of speak strangely or use AAC, are smaller, look different, move differently, and lack so called "common knowledge"? idk man
