Given that Zootopia was about “racism is bad,” I figure Zootopia II will be about “homophobia is bad actually”promptly followed by Disney contributing to horrifically homophobic politicians.

This feels more likely than “Judge Judy goes to Brit-Topia,” “Judge Cal takes over the ZPD and deputizes alligators,” or “Judge Judy faces the Dark ZPD.”

long explanation of joke 

@frostwolf under the general heading of "trying to get Frost interested in stuff I think is cool" here, I'm making fun of Judge Dredd comics!

If you've never seen them, they're British comics in which the police ("Judges") are brutal all-in-one law enforcers, so the titular character is a lot more of an antihero who occasionally actually truly *does* protect the city where he lives ("Mega City One," which is the entire east coast in the future).

One repeated threat are "the Dark Judges," from a parallel dimension, who were once similar Judges there and completely executed everyone in their world under the assumption that *everyone* was a potential criminal.

@Leucrotta oh, nice! We've never seen Judge Dredd, was afraid it was a "the shitty cops are actually good" show, now that we know it's not maybe I should look it up sometime!

@frostwolf It's nuanced - the classic stories that made the comic really point out that it's a flawed system with flawed enforcers. But it's comics, so there are writers who definitely portray the cops as good.
