and taught boys that 'no didn't really mean no']

Whatever Next?

[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]



[In the cartoons, the French skunk relentlessly
pursues a black cat named Penelope Pussycat.
His unwanted advances and inappropriate
touching have drawn allegations of misconduct]

I think children do tune into a sense of right and wrong, like you know that blowing up Tom with a stick of dynamite is not really the way to go in life

Yeah definitely

[Oliver_W]

I forgot he even existed tbh

Was he one of the side characters from Taz?

[LeatherTrumpet]

Wait till they find out about Jimmy Le Saville at the BBC

[GoldHeart]

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 .

That's it Goldie!

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

Yeah. let's all pretend that creeps aren't real.

[LeatherTrumpet]

If anything it speaks more of French xenophobia

The only acceptable form of xenophobia. And we've been at it for a thousand years.

Me too, always felt really sorry for the cat

[Livia]

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.

I don't think removing any cartoon character from Space Jam will make caliphates all disappear.

[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.

[Withano]

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.

[Alf]

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