I wouldn’t say that’s how jokes work. Some things need to be established first. The joke is not, that he is non binary. It’s a play with words, “agenda” in this case. Him being genderless is supposed to be the baseline. This is contradicted by him being a Warner brother. So the joke is already falling apart during the setup. If the joke was about him being a chicken, it wouldn’t have made sense either, because it was never established before. And can’t explained with cartoon logic.
It feels like people are automatically mad at me for criticizing the joke, because the topic is gender politics. I never said he can’t be non binary, I don’t care, but there was never a basis for this. Or so I thought. As others have pointed out, there apparently was an episode or a comic where this was mentioned.
There are people who do not identify as having a gender, this is commonly referred to as “Agender”. People who identify as Agender may not identify with the concept of gender, some may attempt to present gender neutral, while others may not make an effort to present any specific way.
It’s one of the many NonBinary identities, that is people who don’t identify as exclusively male or female. I can understand though that for some it might be confusing as it has only been receiving mainstream recognition relatively recently.
It’s a joke.
It’s a joke based on Yakko not having a gender. Which doesn’t make sense. Therefore my confusion.
Cartoons operate under the rule of funny, anything is allowed for the joke

How would you refer to a he/they sibling
Sibling?
As your sibling? The usual, I think, such as “dummy” or “asshat”.
“gender politics”
You must be fun at parties.
This doesn’t address anything I’ve said. But just downvote away, I guess.

Do you take Wile.E.Coyote running into a wall after the roadrunner runs through it literally too?
