Monster of the Aesop is basically a Monster of the Week that heavily represents An Aesop. As a show, Sailor Moon has a lot of examples, but the pic is I think from an arc where basically random items get turned into monsters. Case in point, the woman in the middle was originally a vacuum cleaner with elephant decorations.
And what does that possibly have to do with lesbians (or any sort of aesop)?

Pull. Seems whoever put that up just confused this for a WTF monster of the week.

I think it has to do with elephants being the symbol of the Republican party in America politics. They tend to be more conservative and tend to side against gay rights act such as the ability to marry. So what I take from it is two lesbians fighting against a symbol that opposes rights for them.
Or I could be completely wrong. Either way, I support pulling it.

...Except it's a Japanese work. And they were most likely (I know nothing about Sailor Moon) bowdlerized into cousins or something in the dub.
Not that it matters, because even if you're right, there's no way anyone will get that from the picture. Pull.
Incidentally, does anyone have ideas on what could replace it?

Is the monster supposed to represent homosexuality? Is there an Aesop about elephants? I don't understand!
(So yeah, new image needed.)
