@alice I'd pick Kipo Oak and 2009 Strawberry Shortcake. They're both guitarists and songwriters (although that's not what either of them is primarily known for), and I think they'd write some lovely songs together.
@alice Another side note: this is one of my favorite movies ever. At the very least it's the most underappreciated movie I know of. Here is a (spoilery) review of it by Addy Lovestar, a trans woman who unfortunately has not yet joined the Fediverse.
@alice Another thing related to this that can be seen in the Strawberry show is that using gendered words when not talking about gender increases the chances of your message being misinterpreted.
I mean, it isn't clear (to me at least) that this character intended for his remark to sound misogynistic, but it is clear that it was perceived as such by the others.
Which of these Strawberry Shortcake characters has the most creative name in French?

@alice They even use "guys" correctly in one episode, proving that they understand it.
@alice I guess this indoctrination starts early. The Strawberry Shortcake show from 2009 uses "guys" all the time, even though 95% of the time there are only girls.
I like the little ways animators show they care, even in low budget animations. I didn't even notice until like the third time I watched.
If anyone wants to watch the episode, there are official uploads on YouTube. Information is in the alt text.
