Imagine if they actually drew the Tasmanian Devil as it is in real life when it meets a female devil? Man would they have a hard time with nature then!Spiritual_Chaos said:Didn't really grow up with the Looney Tunes or the WB-characters (rented the Roadrunner VHS though when we visited our aunt once). But I know of the skunk character.
But is he written as OVERLY-HORNY or OVERLY IN-LOVE ?0 -
correct, but in today's climate re: unwanted sexual advances/assault, that type of character just doesn't work. if they didn't use him as he was, how would they use him at all? maybe chasing the cat around trying to apologize to her?mace1229 said:
From what I remember, he always thinks she is a skunk. She gets accidentally painted with a white stripe, or something else happens, that makes him think she is a skunk too. And he falls in love. And yes, is overly aggressive with his love. But I really don't see it as any different than other characters who are overly violent towards their counterpart in countless other cartoons. Its a silly premise with silly actions. Never meant to be an example or taken seriously.Spiritual_Chaos said:Ah okey, so the ill-smelling skunk goes after a cat? Not another skunk? Does he believe she is a skunk -- or does he think that he can DATE WAY ABOVE HIS LEAGUE?!
Yeah. I can picture there being a lot of "once comical" situations, where it is now "wait, is that cartoon character not letting that other cartoon characters leave when she clearly has told him no?"
it's not always about "cancelling" the past, but more just moving on without things that no longer work in today's society.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
I remember when Disney, that's right, Disney, decided to not show smoking in its movies and right wing America went nuts. There's no way they won't lose their minds about stuff like this. Does anyone really need Disney to have smoking in its movies? No; they're just manufacturing outrage (another projection).HughFreakingDillon said:what's funny is that any rational person could see that Pepe was cringe, and the female cat always gave him his comeuppance.
this is the metoo version of banning the violence in bugs bunny cartoons. I can understand it, even if I think it's kinda dumb.
not one kid bought an acme anvil and accidentally dropped it on their own head because of a faulty catapult.
sometimes these things go too far. I get it with some things, other things you just have to roll your eyes.
I think it does get tricky when you talk about past-created things aimed at kids. Lots of cartoons had some pretty bad stuff in terms of racial stereotyping, sexism, violence, etc. And while my parents explained the context of the N-word in Huck Finn, no parents are going to be able to cover all of the out-of-date stuff we have to show our children (lest the bad guys win). Do bad sterotypes in those Suess books cause a problem? I'd argue yes. But can / should we "cancel" that? ("We" didn't cancel it, as it turns out) Probably not. But it does leave us in a sub-optimal situation of putting some bad stereotypes into the minds of impressionable children.
Of course the bottom line is that all the US Right even has anymore is "they're coming after our way of life."1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

I just figure Pepe was French, and that's why he acted in such a manner.Merkin Baller said:I see both sides of this.
Watching those shows as a kid I always knew he was in the wrong... but it's weird to have an over-sexed / overly horny character constantly & aggressively pursuing a perpetually uninterested target in a program intended for children.
I don't think I or anyone else is any worse off for having grown up with this, but it is an odd character for a children's show.

How do you explain Governor Andrew Cuomo's behavior?mace1229 said:
Isn't that the point? That he's a weird character to have in a kid's cartoon. Weren't pretty much all of the characters in the golden age of animation just silly pointless characters? That's what made them. You have a bad hunter obsessed with catching the same rabbit, Foghorn who is a rooster and a southern socialite. A Coyote who is obsessed with catching the same bird with elaborate traps that never work. You could probably find a reason for every single character of that era to not be shown today for violence or stereotypes.

people should know better. some don't. some do and do it anyway. But I cannot get on board with people thinking something is ok because a cartoon did it. maybe a child. MAYBE. but not a full grown adult.
if Cuomo orders rocket roller skates off amazon to try to catch his dinner, I'll consider myself corrected.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
