| Jun 17, 2018 at 7:21 | comment | added | ericfromabeno | hmm, sorry, I see your point. I have only experienced a few specific examples. I can tell you that I have directly heard childrens' dolls, cartoon animals, cartoon non-humans, and city mascots referred to with "iru" and with both generic counters, animal counters, and in the case of mascots, human counters. | |

These don’t specifically address the examples given here or whether counters are treated the same. I would expect an answer to encompass the use of specific and generic counters. | |
