When I tell as a kid I grabbed a girl and started kissing her like he kissed girls because I thought we were supposed to. That trope predates Pepe Le Pew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a character that is current and I forces that trope. I don’t see how anyone can see this as a negative thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Interesting that they decided to just remove him instead of reworking him. I think the title of this is a little misleading given cancel culture. It's a cartoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb 17,254 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My mum will be pleased, she's always hated his creepy ass Apparently my aunty used to hide when he was on tv Do you feel him sir? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanum 5,210 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Wow. I loved Pepe as a child and found him really funny. Pepe didn't make me a rapist. So what's next? Cancel Scrooge McDuck because he emotionally abuses his nephew? I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresco 1,688 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Good that it was removed. The cat reacts with violence, slapping, and throwing the skunk down, winning a physical fight. That's just not realistic. Abusive skunkmen typically pick smaller, weaker, drunker catwomen to abuse, imo. That catwoman wouldn't win in reality. The skunk was to be written as a bartender, but that may or may not be obvious. If the bartender was the bar owner, he would never fire himself. The skunk as a drunk patron probably also would never face legal consequences because nobody would identify him nor police arrest him for kissing a woman in a bar. People need to use words more and physical force less. Kids need more appropriate behavior modeled in cartoons, consensual behavior. On the other hand, kids stories and fables often expose kids to violence, death, criminals, lies, etc. so they know what those things are. At some point children understand consequences. Oh well, its a cartoon. Got to level up before this season of Fortnite ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's good that children get to see one less forced kiss. I never thought it was that deep tbh. He was a weird romance obsessed cartoon character that never got the lady he wanted because he was after a cat that looked like a skunk due to some white paint accident and she thought he stank Idk, I guess I just get "over the top cartoonish behavior" from him more than "sinister serial rapist". That said, I can understand why they'd leave him out of current Looney Toons stuff. He seems like one of the characters that's better off being a legacy/classic toon than trying to adapt him to current standards or have him behave the way he did now that it's viewed as unacceptable.

I don't think we're supposed to like him or be like him Though I know his character and whole family have been rebooted a few times since I was a cartoon watching kid so idk what he is now Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
