I appreciate how James Gunn made Rocket a real character, and not a joke, and made him photorealistic (he looks horrible in the cartoons and telltale games. It's like Marvel artists don't do non-humans very well. Especially the GotG cartoon, ugh. Cosmo looks horrible in full-face view.) So many others would have either written Rocket out as "silly", or just saddled him with stereotropical poop and garbage jokes. Which would be considered "racist" if you did it to a fucking "human of colour." Imagine making a hindu character oriented around rooting in the garbage and pooping on the street, neglecting cows in a way that would get Canadian farmers arrested and socially pilloried and getting angry when you tell them your cat is their granny (because it suggests their granny was a horrible human being) and raping women while they poop in the fields ... but that's basically modern dr doolittle movies, I guess.
