a question

Please--if any of you know of any canonically non-binary characters in popular media, would you let me know? I'm thinking of writing a meta post about the sorry state of non-binary representation, and I'd like to see if I can't find some more evidence than I have right now.

Thank you!

*facepalm* I keep forgetting! Here's another negative one:

[CN: Rape, abuse]

Yivo, the rapacious tentacled alternate universe from the Futurama move, Beast With a Billion Backs, is nonbinary and uses "Schlee/Schlur" as pronouns. (I have no idea if that's actually how the pronouns are spelled. I would have to check.) They are definitely predatory, and failed to disclose a cosmic STI to our universe before entering a sexual relationship with our entire universe. (One of the extras on the DVD - I think the commentary? - notes that the staff avoided including any children in the "relationship" with Yivo, since it was pretty rape-y and overtly sexual in nature, though in ways that did not bother the Fox censors.)

Yeah, it was definitely not well considered >_> I can in no way defend that movie.
