Hello Kitty Isn't A Cat??!!??

I'm honestly surprised you dweebs didn't understand that Kerropi and Friends, Hello Kitty, etc. were not the animals they were depicted as, but the personification of.

It's quite common.

Inb4 two week long riots.

This article helped me find my way back from the precipice:

Peanuts did confirm Snoopy was a dog in response to this too!

True Story!

Don't care, let's riot! Kawaii Riot!

It's about to get kawaii as *** up in here!

This is like Pluto all over again!

While they may say it is not a cat I still stand by my firm belief that it's a turtle. I like turtles.

So are Ren and Stimpy personifications of dogs?

My childhood is absolutely RUINED!!!!

This is about the dumbest "news" ever, she's still a cat, personified or not.

***: Mickey Mouse is still a *** mouse.

Is Kermit the Frog actually a frog??? Is Miss Piggy actually a pig???

/mindblown!!!

It does seem to be a very existentialist-kind of argument, much like the "Treachery of Images" concept put forth by René Magritte...



("This is not a pipe.") (Really! Taken even further from Magritte's concept, it's not even a painting of a pipe...it's a collection of photons projected through the internet through a monitor device, then viewed as a pipe through the viewer's mind!) :p

The idea is further expanded upon by the philosopher Crocodile Dundee, who explains what-is and what-is-not a knife...



But to answer the question, I think in the end we all know and must agree that Hello Kitty is actually...a Space Marine!

Somehow, this seems to be more of a revelation than a disturbing image.

Why does she have to conform to YOUR social norms?! Typical conservative.

Hello Kitty has every right to identify as a girl regardless if she looks like a cat!

Nothing in my social norms involves cats at all, they're disgusting annoying creatures, that shouldn't be indoors.

Animals are not cartoons, so... yeah, not a cat :P

Is a cat even a cat anymore?
