Even HN evokes that same feeling. Discomfort. There is no difference in what makes hello kitty popular and what content lands up on the front page of HN.
What makes this piece so powerful is how it paints the rabbit as both victim and oppressor - a response to social pressure that is itself a source of social pressure.
What comparison are you trying to make? What's the equivalent "culture of cuteness" in HN?
