>>54058334If you have to ignore the fact Game Freak has a great deal of 40+ year old men designing the creatures they implement in their games, to claim zoomie-era gay clowns are the inspiration behind Meow, you've already lost. Japan is loathe to recognise gays, let alone expose their children to them in mass-consumption media. Thus the cat that imitates Doronjo is most likely to have been inspired by Doronjo, given the people who produce the game series it came from portray their world as very much traditional heterosexual-orientated.
That they also added a VERY gay-acting, sorry "flamboyant" male duck further precludes Meow being male-inspired, because they don't double up on designs since Gen 6. There's a little boy bait, a little girl bait and A.N. Other. Usually the little girl bait turns out to be the straight man bait too, given they all grow up to be attractive furry females and they usually get shiled with the new female character, who shows up for the next iteration of the pokémon tv advert - something Liko hasn't subverted yet and of course, they all get female VA's to voice them.
But why bother with hard evidence when you can claim they took your gay awakening idol and made it a pokémon, yeah.
