I can even agree that for a lot of cartoony media, depicting people as animals can give it a really cool/cute style. A lot of people have fond memories of reading the Redwall books, which took that to a logical and mature extension. But, having close association to all of the sexual stuff is where it gets bizarre and unlikable.

I'll even go out on a limb; I really enjoyed Lauren Faust's My Little Pony series. I thought there was some fun, inventive writing humor, good VA, and smooth animation; for a time. But there's undeniably a ton of people that made obsession with that series really weird.
