Even though anime has made its way into the mainstream over the past few years, negative notions about the medium persist.

With the exception of a few mature animated comedies (some of which are fantastic and thematically complex, like Bojack Horseman), animation in the US is still typically viewed as a medium for children. The idea that cartoons are kid sh*t, while perhaps understandable for someone who has only ever been exposed to Western media, is ignorant of the broad range of animation in other cultures.

Gail Simone, the comic book writer behind DC's Birds of Prey (amongst others), randomly tweeted this today:

But because this is the Internet and we're all very sexually confused by cartoons, Simone's "Stupid Question Of The Day" quickly became one of the top trending topics on Twitter with #1stCartoonCrush.

Many of the responses were exactly what one would expect.

Complex tweeted Lola Bunny for Space Jam which...yeah, obviously.

What would any first cartoon crush list be without Jessica Rabbit? The literal definition of a cartoon crush.

Daphne from Scooby Doo seems like a pretty solid choice, too. Her fashion sense was always on point.

Robin Hood was a real fox, for sure.

Meg from Hercules had that sensual, wispy art style. Totally get it.

All the Sailor Scouts showed up, but Sailor Mars is the correct answer.

Okay, I'm kind of feeling Molly MacDonald from Arthur, too. She seems like the kind of girl who would choke me, and I kind of dig it.

Y'know what, yes, I do think James had a certain sexual flair. I'm still here for this.

No. Not Shrek. Not funny. Okay, screw it, maybe.

Squidward was hella chiseled. Absolute smash.

Lorde? Come on Comedy Central, she's not even a cartoon. But also yes.

TIL childhood was a massive cartoon sex fantasy, because we're all glorious trash monsters.
