[b]What are Anthropomorphics?[/b]

If you read a fiction book, or watched a cartoon, then you've probably come across anthropomorphic animals. Normally, when you think of anthropomorphics, you think of cute furry creatures living in a human-like society, filled with walking on two feet, going to work, and of course, human clothes. 

You know of cartoons starring anthropomorphics like Zootopia, Sing (2016 movie), and Joe Murray's TV shows. But those silly adventures the anthropomorphics go on are known only outside of Crossoveria. Sure, those adventures are known in Crossoveria too, but there's a whole new story. 

In Crossoveria, Anthropomorphic animals are a race of citizens from Crossoveria, especially from the state of Elmore. They make up over 1/4 of Crossoveria’s ENTIRE population of 88 million people. That doesn't mean that Crossoveria was kind to anthropomorphics. In fact, anthropomorphics have been well cited with policies that discriminate against them, as well as policies restricting human clothing to anthropomorphics. 

[b]Why weren't anthropomorphic animals allowed to wear human clothes?[/b] 

In 2010, Crossoveria introduced a policy limiting, and sometimes seizing, the right for anthropomorphics to wear human clothes. According to the government of Crossoveria, anthropomorphics who wear clothes were shown to violate mother nature's recipes. They are also aware that mankind is the result of animals' lives being at risk, and since anthropomorphics are animals, the government didn't want them to get involved. 

But the human clothing ban implemented on anthropomorphics wasn't limited to normal life, but went so far as to affect popular culture. Joe Murray's two creations, "Rocko's Modern Life" and "Camp Lazlo" took its toll on the Crossoverian government. Rocko, the main character in "Rocko's Modern Life" was no longer portrayed wearing his normal shirt and shoes. (The same went for "Scaredy Squirrel") All rude humor was removed as well so that the content wouldn't be disturbing. As for "Camp Lazlo", it was banned entirely in Crossoveria. ("Almost Naked Animals" suffered the same fate.)

But those two weren't the only shows affected. "The Amazing World of Gumball" shows Gumball, Darwin, and Anais as live animals, and Richard and Nicole are shown as humans. Luckily, the show was never banned. Cartoon Network was also safe, with the releases of "Adventure Time" and "Regular Show" being allowed to air on Crossoverian cable due to its anthropomorphic characters not wearing clothes (Margaret became an exception, but she was edited as well). 

PBS Kids shows weren't exempt from this law either. When a preview of "Nature Cat" was shown to Crossoverian officials, they demanding that the Crossoverian version left out any source of clothing on the anthropomorphic characters. 

TV shows weren't just affected. Though the movie series "Madagascar" was allowed on theatres, [i]Zootopia[/i] and "Sing" were both edited and shows their anthropomorphics not wearing clothing. Children's books depicting anthropomorphics wearing clothes were pulled from school libraries by the government, and that includes "Frog and Toad". 

But not all media featuring anthropomorphics were banned or edited. Mickey Mouse and his friends were allowed to keep their looks as they were back in America, due to the fact that Mickey Mouse was a very popular character in Crossoveria before the ban. [i]Winnie The Pooh[/i] was also kept in place due to its violent popularity. 

To this day, "Arthur" and "BoJack Horseman" remain banned due to their anthropomorphic character designs being way to humane (above the 40/60 point according to [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=458704]This Forum thread[/url]). 

[b]What happened to the Anthropomorphic animals?[/b]

The Appropriate Animal Attire infuriated anthropomorphics and ceased any friendship between the two races, and with riots and protests that led to the arrests of many well-known anthropomorphics, tensions grew violently hostile between humans and anthropomorphics. 

Capital Punishment was limited to anthropomorphics on Ramadan 2013, and 34 anthropomorphics got executed. Many more, including everyone's favorite Nickelodeon wallaby, were subject to white torture and imprisonment. No fines were given, as it was deemed "too safe". Most anthro dissidents were given a punishment day, and some were sent to the BND Logo of Doom.

The 2010's were a horrible decade for anthropomorphics to wear clothes. During that time since the Appropriate Animal Attire Policy, 12,758 anthropomorphics faced punishments by authorities, some of them on death row. 

One of the most famous anthropomorphic casualties was Buster Moon, who you thought was a character from the movie [i]Sing[/i]. A sequel may come up, but that's because Moon was pardoned and freed after a year of exile. More on the story [url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1378233]here[/url].

[b]Conclusion[/b]
This was a sad story, but anthropomorphics had worked hard to maintain their rights in Crossoveria. Plenty had moved to America as refugees to share their stories with the world, and make humans pay attention to the harsh reality of anthropomorphic lives. 

People have thought anthropomorphism was a cute subject revolving around animals living their lives as humans. And you may believe that anthropomorphic animals live their lives happily. This is most definitely not the case. But ever since the events of the most recent revolution in 2021, anthropomorphics have now gotten their human clothes rights back. 

Nickelodeon gets their wallaby back after several years living in nothing but white, so he'll probably need support. Either way, 2021 would be a joyous year for the anthropomorphics, as they hope, and they're ready to share their stories internationally. And Crossoveria recently employed anthropomorphic Porkchop Funnie into the position of Equal Rights Secretary, making history as the first anthropomorphic animal to do so. 

Since then, the Supreme Leader has been appointed Anthropomorphic animals into government and military ranks. Kipper Woofler, a former Anthropomorphic dog, became the 10th President of Crossoveria. Kaiketsu Zorori became the Army General. Filya Woofler became the Deputy General of the Air Force.
