Just the other night I was talking about Who Framed Roger Rabbit and how brilliant it is with one of my favorite tumblr friends. The movie is great and one of the more interesting characters to me is Jessica Rabbit.  I say this because she has continued on as sort of short hand for a type of sexuality.  Hell, looking for pictures of her you have no idea how hard it is to actually find pictures of her where she has clothes, which strikes me as all kind of silly.  Not because I think there is anything wrong with wanting to see whoever naked, embrace that, look at naked things, but it seems kind of pointless.  It transfers sultry and sexy to something far less complicated and interesting.  All of it kind of seems to miss the point of the character though, who in my searching seems to have developed a reputation as a slut or a temptress which ignores what made her character so great at the time.  She was a spin on the classic Femme Fetale, she certainly had all the elements and looked like bad news but in the end she wasn’t.  She was a good girl, she was loyal to her husband, she loved him, and she was doing what she could to save the day.  She was never bad.  She was just drawn that way.  I find the fact that that has been lost and we only remember how she was drawn to be an interesting statement on how our minds work. She’s a cartoon, so of course things will always be exaggerated so we project our own experiences onto her, that’s how cartoons work anyway, you fill in a lot of the gaps. It is interesting just how we’ve filled them in.  Of course, good girl and working on the side of angels or not she has appeared here today, so I am just as guilty.  I can’t help the way she’s drawn, either.  Today I want to fuck Jessica Rabbit.
