They have an agenda, so they assume everyone else does too. It's always projection.

Universal happiness and prosperity could be a part of an agenda as well right?
Not an agenda people talk enough about

"Finger prince" is a great joke too from that show. I laughed my ass off.
Goodnight everybody!
Wakko looks adorable AF in this image.
Wakko is adorable AF
While I like the joke, Wakko is actually a boy. He had a crush on Miss Bambon, so one could assume hetro. Humorously, Dot also had a crush on her. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Nonbinary does not imply asexuality.
True. Wakko’s pronoun is “he” as the show has decided.
And plenty of nonbinary humans use and prefer the pronoun "he"
Also true. But we must consider the fact that when the show was airing, though I'm sure non-binary people certainly must have existed at the time, non-binary was not something that was part of the mainstream consciousness. So would not have been acceptable in a kids show. And though I'm not sure it would even be acceptable in today's day and age by most mainstream standards, it's more acceptable now than it was 30 years ago.
On top of that it's very likely that most real people at that time who would likely identify as non-binary would not have identified themselves as such and would have chosen a he/she pronoun of some sort to identify themselves in order to conform to the social standard of that time.
Still, we should celebrate the characters who are designed to be nonbinary, to represent that community, not try to decide for that character 30 years later.
Right, to me it feels dishonest and pandering to change a character later like this. I don't feel it's winning points with anyone.

Hulu rebooted it in 2020. The latest season was released in February, 2023.
I agree that se is obvious supposed to be a boy, but I don't understand your premise. You can be agender and have a crush on a woman.
Not really trying to make a point. But he’s not agender. Dot is bisexual though.

He's a Warner sibling, which means that at any moment he's exactly whatever is necessary for the joke to work.
Wacko is addicted to Don Knots comedy, you can always catch him watching old episodes of Matlock just for the guest appearance's.
That used to be a running joke on the 90's version of that show.
I know it's a small detail but not all non-binary people are agender.
Dust for prints!
I found Prince!
No no no! Finger Prints
I don't think so.
Um... they are called the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister). Is he non binary now?
In the remake’s theme song;
“We’re gender balanced, pronoun neutral, and ethnically diverse!”
While the fun is in the fast pronunciation of longer words, they’re pointing to a split gender diagram chart between Yakko (male), Dot (female) and Wakko (split). So even if it’s based in a joke from old episodes, WB seems to have run with it.
Remake??
Yup! They did a remake in 2020, never watched it myself cause Hulu but I've heard some good things about it.
It's okay. Not nearly as good as the old show, but that's not a surprise.

There's a panel from the Animaniacs comic where Wakko states that his gender is "other". It floats around the internet ever few years. The comic was, I believe, back in the 90s so I'm not sure I'd say "now". They have always used the term "brother" and he/him pronouns for Wakko though.
Wait, there's comics? I thought it was just a cartoon

It's not canon but he has been adopted by the NB community as a sort of an icon because he has (as a joke) gendered himself as 'other'

I definitely read this in their voices
"And remember kids! Yakko spelled backwards is Okkay"
