a movement begins

There were 3 bears and 3 pigs that shared a house in Bankstown. The bears were named Wilhelm, Alexandria and Neptune and the pigs were named Edison, Roe and Nerf. Wilhelm and Alexandria were best friends, as were Edison and Roe, but really they were all friends. Neptune and Nerf were in a band together.

It was a happy household. There were jokes with no animosity. Every day, the pigs would laugh at the way the bears' fur stood up in the morning and the bears laughed at the sound the pigs' trotters made on the floorboards.

They were just ordinary people in the early days, but they were destined to go down in history as key figures in the movement we now call antignomeanthropomorphanism. It all began with a scandal, which led to a crisis, which led to revolution, which led to a reformation. At the time, no one foresaw the upheaval that would result from the revelations that Hello Kitty was not a cat.

It had all blown over, actually - the HelloKittygate scandal - but, as revelations do, it had planted a seed. Nerf began to ask himself questions, about himself and his associates, that had never occurred to him before. In time, he came to the conviction that all 6 members of his household, including himself, were not people or animals - they were anthropomorphic characters. The rest is history.
