Men are being compared to rodents across the internet. But how do they feel about it?

In the Chinese zodiac, 2024 is the year of the dragon. To the internet, it is the year of the rat. It began with social media posts comparing a co-star from the film ‘Challengers’ to a dormouse. The analogy quickly escalated to include other male celebrities, examining their facial features for rodent similarities. This trend has gained attention from various media outlets, leading to interviews with the celebrities involved. Despite mixed reactions, many men seem to be okay with being labeled as ‘hot rodents’. The trend may find comfort in the Chinese zodiac, which considers rats to be intelligent and charming creatures.
