[Pepe Le Pew will not appear in the Space Jam sequel set for release in July The cartoon skunk starred in the original Warner Bros. film back in 1996 But he has faced accusations of perpetuating rape culture with his antics Comedian Dave Chappelle called Le Pew a rapist in 2000 in his first HBO special What kind of ******ing rapist is this guy? Take it easy!' Chappelle had said One 2018 article argued that: 'Pepe Le Pew Is the Mascot of Sexual Harassment' More recently NYT columnist Charles M. Blow criticized the cartoon skunk Others have come to Le Pew's defense saying that the cartoon is meant to satirize the concept of 'love at first sight' 'I think the moral of Pepe is in fact about respecting women and not to be a skunk,' one person said] https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/03...5102098779.jpg [In the cartoons, the French skunk relentlessly pursues a black cat named Penelope Pussycat.

Aren't you meant to find the character cringy for laughs though?. I never took it seriously as it's a cartoon.
He's a skunk ,one of the smelliest creatures .The joke is she's trying to get away from him because he stinks so badly :skull: . |

I always found him creepy when I was a child. I don't think it's a big loss for anyone.

You all get that this is a cartoon, right? And that Tom and Jerry don't really hit each other with frying pans because THEY'RE C A R T O O N S !
Meanwhile, young girls - millions of them - are still having their clitorises cut off with razorblades because it pleases Allah, apparently. Just one of the appalling and unacceptable crimes tha go on every day in this world. But hey, rapey cartoon skunk. There's the real b*stard. |

[Yes, we're talking Alex and his gang
of Droogs -- famous for their all-white outfits and their bowler hats. And, even more famous (or infamous) is their brutal rape scene in the 1971 Kubrick film, which is depicted in graphic detail ... and definitely NOT family-friendly by any stretch.]

Whoever the **** suggested that it was a good idea to put serial rapists in a family friendly movie is a dumbass. Makes it very ridiculous that Pepe Le Pew was cut now.

I assume they are testing views putting out versions that may or may not do be in Part 2. |
Never liked him, and from a less personal perspective, I completely agree with this decision for the reason they’ve given. Let outdated things die.

When I was a kid watching Pepe, the first thing that came to my mind was, this cartoon is promoting rape.
