first of all, it's not "shrekking," it's "roger rabbiting," and second of all, jessica rabbit legitimately saw roger rabbit as hot and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be writing about any of this

i refuse to read this article because i'm also pissed off at the misrepresentation of shrek. the point of shrek is that she doesn't actually look like that. that's the story. that is the fucking story of shrek. it is not in fact about shrek and how he looks at all.

Well, it is a little bit, because how Shrek looks informs how people treat him just like how Fiona looks informs how people treat her. Shrek is very self-conscious about his appearance even in the first film, so when he calls Fiona beautiful at the end, that's him seeing beauty in himself too.

This is a good point. Jessica DID look like that, but she was just drawn that way. Fiona DIDN'T look like that. It is usefully different.

Yeah that is wild because the story of Shrek is not him getting the girl, his story is about finding friends and a place to belong normally. Fiona got the overarching story, about overcoming her own prejudices and accepting herself.
