that’s your interpretation of stick figures but okay. they put boobs on them when it’s important that they’re female. they put a dick on when it’s important it’s male. that’s how stick figures work. otherwise they’re genderless.
I think its the writers’ interpretations too. They really only put dicks on them when the joke is specifically about the dick. There are plenty of times when the character is the normal stick figure with no dick, but explicitly gendered male. But when the character is explicitly gendered female, they always have boobs or a feminine haircut. Also in the animations the standard stick figures are always given masculine voices.
I’ve heard nonbinary voices that are feminine as well as nonbinary voices that are masculine, but the voices of the standard stick figures in C&H are exclusively masc. And tbh, the type of humor present in C&H really makes me feel like the authors tend to go along with traditional gender norms and the longstanding trope being a man is the norm while being a woman is a special trait.
For the record, I personally hate maleness being the cultural default, but I think its good to recognize the trope when it occurs.
i understand where you’re coming from. I’ve spent too many years in legal and legal adjacent fields where everyone is male regardless of whether they are explicitly female or not. we’re still fighting those battles. it’s not really my point though:
this is art. could you identify a nonbinary voice by sound alone?
what gendered characteristics does the character have? what causes you to identify it with a specific gender when it lacks characteristics?
those are just rhetorical questions y’know. stuff to think about.
no worries, we’re just reading different things into it. that’s the fun thing about art. i see nonbinary because i’m comfortable with that existing and i don’t see gender specified in the characters. you see nonspecified gender must be male because, well you didn’t say why.
because nearly every single c&h comic and animated vid uses male pronouns/male voices for characters that haven’t got boobs, because the cis male authors have been drawing it this way since the early 00s before non-binary is where it got today.
Nothing to do with comfort of non-binary persons. Just to context of the writers.
C&H characters are genderless unless specified. they’re practically stick figures dude
Nah they put boobs on ‘em if they’re women; otherwise the default’s a man.
Again I’ve moved on as OP implored me to do in their deleted comment, but uhhh, whatever drives engagement I suppose. 🤙

I watch very few of the animations, but for clarification: what does a nonbinary voice sound like to you?

Ok, if that’s what you think is happening. 🤙 agree to disagree. have a great day bud.
