Efeminine Males in Western Fiction

We have seen them in Eastern Anime. Do they exist in Western Cartoons? And I mean characters that have done it more than once. To be honest, I thought Double D was female when I first saw Ed, Edd, n Eddy.
 
It was more Jimmy than anyone else on EEnE that just screams "effeminine" in my book, he does something that the other boys in the cul-de-sac than the other don't do, that is when he isn't getting revenge on the Eds. Double D, I just wrote off as a major unathletic nerd.
 
We mentioned Edd because he looks kinda like a girl, and many actually mistaken him as such until later. I forgot about Jimmy, who is the deal effeminate here.
 
Some people claim that when the show first appeared, CN thought the hat was his hair also and put his hair as "tall and greasy" on his bio. But it's just something I've heard. :shrug:
 
Well, it's pretty easy, believe me. :sweat: I thought I was crazy when I remembered I thought that...until I saw that many others also thought this. And you should see the Japanese dub! He really does sound like a girl there. :shrug:
 
The one that always springs to mind is the guy Mira Nova was supposed to marry. Also Zurg wasn't far from effeminate when throwing tantrums instead of planning to enslave the Universe.
 
Of Course! How could I forget about HIM? He wears makeup and does aerobics, for God's sake!


And yet an anime called Cowboy Bebop had a female Name Edward Wong. Like Double D, Viewers were confused about her sex.

Kagetsu, you actually care about Miguzi?
 
Nermal from Garfield. Though in Western animation, making a dude "girly" is usually done to make you hate the guy. I don't know if this applies to anime, because they have different ideas about masculinity and femininity there.
 
Nermal is a thin line frankly. He's like Tweety; although they're male, part of their shtick is that they're insanely cute, and many "cute" traits are predominantly feminine, so those characters have always had a puzzling ambiguity.
 
:sad: Without access to PM, I can't really say much about Miguzi here. It's off topic. :shrug: I'm pushing the "envelop" with this post.

But yes, for reasons.
