There was underlying “people are the real victims of wars”. They cover it as well during some dialogue where someone is recounting how cavalier the government and military had been with human lives. How easy it was for them to throw away lives in their quest for power. I found that it made a universal political and ethical statement without ever picking a side.
EDIT: I watched it in Japanese with subtitles. There have been complaints that the english dub version has a lot of changes that switch the meaning of a scene.
Yeah, it’s a critical piece toward the government at the time. I love that line by the professor about how the Imperial Japanese doesn’t value life, so now it’s the time, and how the guy that blame everything on the MC are now asking him to survive. Both Shin and Minus One is basically calling out the government of the respective era.
Or store it in the freezer, and then toast it to thaw it. You’ll get toast in the end, not straight bread, but hey, suuuper long shelf life. Allows you to stock up too. :)
I’d say it was very much intentional to make that character attractive. Which is a weird choice for an anthropomorphic rabbit, especially in a kids movie.
Also, PC culture is full of gays, furries, gay furries and other based people.
They were making a movie full of anthropomorphic animals, including skinny gazelle popstars and Tony the tiger lookalikes. They knew they were making furry-fodder.
Shakira supposedly actually had a lot of input on Gazelle’s character design, which would kinda potentially make her (Gazelle) the most expensive fursona in the world (depending on how you define “fursona”).
Political correctness was fired in the early 2000’s. It was dissected as something called “cold politeness” that wasn’t really doing anything but making corporations and beaurcratic systems feel better about doing something to fix problems by slapping a new coat of paint over the mold. They subtly hired “Hey maybe just stop being a dick to people” into the role but nobody noticed it was a totally different guy.
Now when people talk about what PC would say “Don’t be a Dick” struggles with feelings of never being acknowledged for the actual work they’re doing. Forget what that ass PC did and try getting to know “Don’t be a Dick” on their own terms will ya? They are not so bad and probably very supportive of your opinion on sexy rabbits. They attend some furry conventions I’m sure.
