Childhood Animated Movie Heroines Do آپ think it's ridiculous that people criticize Lola Bunny for having "bunny boobies" but nobody complains about Sandy Cheeks for having "squirrel boobies"?

Think about it. Lola from her debut movie always struts in a sexy way, talks in a sultry voice, the "humor" she contributes among the Loony Tunes comes from the male Loony Tunes (like Bugs) constantly going gaga over her rather than her doing something wacky, zany, or funny for herself, and ultimately she's a prize for Bugs to win over. Her sexiness is treated as integral to her character, rather than incidental.
Sandy HAPPENS to wear a bikini, but neither her character nor her actions in the show rely on sex appeal. They could change her outfit and it wouldn't change anything about her lines, actions, or personality, or other characters' reactions to her. Sandy may be the most "sane" character in the world of Spongebob, but she still has her own funny gags, quirks, and mistakes that have absolutely NOTHING to do with her sexuality.
It's true that in the earlier seasons Sandy is presented as the girl Spongebob may have a crush on and often tries to win over (like the episode he first meets her and tries to impress her with his "love of air," or during the beach episode when he keeps ripping his pants to make her laugh, and all those times he gets jealous of Larry the Lobster getting her attention), but they calmed down on that after a while and she's treated as just another fun, wacky, zany character in the series. She's tough, she's smart, she's confident, she usually has all the answers but can get caught up in the madness and just be another fun, funny, unique, enjoyable character in the show.
I don't think it's the "bunny boobies" that bother people about Lola. It's how her bunny boobies are treated as the most important part of her character (read: sex symbol) rather than being treated like ain't no thang.
"I know that Sandy is a much better character but I still think Lola has personality. She's smart, a no nonsense person, is independent, courageous, sweet, confident, tough, strong, a feminine tomboy, and a bada**. I love how she says "Don't ever call me doll", which shows she doesn't want to be someone who is just thought of as a pretty girl or a sex symbol, despite that the movie isn't doing a good job of that by making her do sexy poses."
I didn't say Sandy Cheeks was "a better character." I'm saying that being SEXEH is still much more present in Lola's character than Sandy's. Being a sex object to be lusted over dominates most of Lola's presentation as a character in the story (since she constantly poses in a playboy bunny way, wears revealing outfits, always walks and talks in a sultry, titillating way, and almost all of her interactions with other characters involve male characters oogling her), while Sandy wearing a bikini is completely incidental, never zoomed in on, and never brought attention to. None of the male characters Sandy interacts with ever comment on or take notice of her beauty, allure, or sexuality.
People object to "bunny boobies" on Lola because the bunny boobies are given so much attention from the story and characters, whereas Sandy's squirrel boobies get absolutely no attention.
Plus, at the time, there also weren't any female Looney Tunes (apart from Granny) so they made Lola to appeal to young girls. And the first female Looney Tune that young girls of our generation were introduced to, that we were supposed to identify with and look up to, was... a sex object. For the boys to drool over. Who wasn't funny, wacky, or zany, or part of the fun the way the male Looney Tune characters were part of the fun.
... You see the problem with this? Other characters have problems too, and I'm sure they do get plenty of flak for it too, but that doesn't erase the problems Lola has.
