Why, oh why, are skunks near-consistently portrayed as just being constantly smelly?

Cut the following from Literature/, as Examples Are Not General:

  • Many a children's story use this trope to teach An Aesop, usually about how it's important to Be Yourself. The general story structure goes: Skunk feels ostracized because of this trope, Skunk tries to avert this trope to varying results, a situation arises where Skunk must invoke this trope to do something heroic, Skunk earns acceptance in spite of this trope.

Perhaps it can be worked into the description?

Is this sequence of events possible to be a trope itself?

I guess so. You can even add that said "situation" usually consists on the sudden arrival of a hungry wolf (or any other predator) that threatens the other animals.

In one episode of Ultimate Spider-Man, The Savage Spider-Man, there was a skunk-like creature Ka-Zar used as medicine on Spider-Man when he turned into the Man-Spider.

The page quote can be cut down to the last two lyrics. The rest of the verse is irrelevant.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Is there a reason why Everything's Smellier With Skunks was moved to Smelly Skunk? If not, I'll probably move it back.

Get out of my mind, idea! I already have an idea in there! Hide / Show Replies

I don't know.

I think you should move it back, as one is about the species, the other is about the scent.

Ok, if nobody says otherwise, I'm moving it back.
