Pepe Le Pew was removed from Space Jam 2 - Legacy!

[Luke94]

Same for Heloise Nertz(at least we have Minerva Mink,Slappy the Squirrel,Skippy the Squirrel) in Animaniacs reboot/remake,Lola Bunny was redesigned. Lara Croft was also redesigned.

Never thought the lamestream media would get worked up over a fictional character

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

What I'm really mad about is the Lola bunny redesign, how I am supposed to enjoy movie about basketball with no big booba

 

[Luke94]

In Looney Tunes reboot she behaved like Bugs Bunny fangirl.

She didn't have big booba in the first one either, she had itty bitty titties and was all about dem legs, baby.
We haven't seen the new Lola yet, by the way. There's a side by side "comparison" pic floating around the interwebs but neither of the two pictures are from the movies, the "original" one is a furry porn pic and the "redesign" one is a concept sketch. The Loony Tunes in the new movie are 3D renders and they are fuzzy. You know, fluffy. Full on furry.

Damn, I guess this is another case of something being better in my memory

Bugs has a straight up sword for a tooth.

I've never liked Peppy la Pew; as many have already said, he's always come off as skeevy. Discontinuing the character is probably a good idea. I don't think they're doing it because of "cancel culture" or because "it's the right thing to do."

My guess: It's a business move. Any businesses' claim to want to be on the "right side of history" when everything goes belly up is business talk for "there's gonna be more people that believe in X than in Y, so we're gonna cater to X rather than Y" or " Y is a shrinking market, so let's start working on X." If the gun market was comprised of mostly homosexual women, then the marketing and subsequent lobbying would reflect that.

Sure, it might be the "ethical" and "moral" thing to do, but that's mere coincidence; companies have consistently proven that moral and ethics only stretch as far as they need to in order to keep making money. (see: Nestle, Walmart, Apple)

We can argue about censorship, ethics, morals, blah blah blah. It's all just free advertising for the company, followed by mass purchases by group Y of the original material, and mass adoption by group X of the new material. One side unnecessarily pushes Dr. Seuss' retired books into the top sellers on Amazon, and the other pledges to support the "new norm" moving forward; both sides end up arguing, and because we all know how well arguments go, both groups lose. Meanwhile, the product in question receives a nice publicity boost, burns bridges with an arguably caustic group, and fosters goodwill with another group. i.e, Y, X loses, Company wins.

Now that might've come off as a little skeptical because I've been playing Gonosia and can't trust anyone, but I guess the tl;dr is:

- Censorship (removing the past): bad
- Recognizing we've made mistakes in the past and should probably address them moving forward: good
- Nestle: Bad
- Chippie: biggest asshole in Gonosia

Kind of like Sonic movie,Woody Woodpecker,Yogi Bear? Winnie the Pooh was banned in China same for Plague.Inc.

Men who behave like Pepe La Pew are actually a common occurrence for women (or those perceived as as women,) when working in public jobs like sales or customers service. It’s actually extremely uncommon for women not to deal with creepy men who either violate or attempt to their personal space, sexually harass them, and or other unwelcome advances. Pepe La Pew isn’t a fictional character in many people’s lives when they have deal with men like him.

You don't realize how censoring fiction and stories can lead to very dangerous abuse.

Take a minute to think of everything you watch, show, movies, every the songs you listen to.
Now remove all the bad actors in all these fictions.

And I'm not just talking about sexual assault, but violence too, which is arguably one of the US biggest problems yet somehow you never hear a callout to censor it, or its most offending characters, in fiction.

Assholes did not wait for a cartoon character to act like assholes. Be it rapists, robbers, murderers, terrorists and what not.

Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis planned sequeled prequel of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Action would take place during World War 2 featuring German Nazis.

This is how polical correctness works. Even in Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 1 Season 5 jiggling female breasts physics animations were removed. Not only Lola Bunny was redesigned in Space Jam 2,but breasts of princess Eva Earlong were decreased same for Lara Croft. Nick Stadler and Dean Dodrill had two different drawing styles during development of Jazz Jackrabbit 1 & 2(circa Anno Domini of years 1994-1998). Fortnite 10 years ago would dedicated to more mature audience like it was originally intended. Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis planned Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 prequeled sequel action was originally taking place during World War 2. Damsel in distresses are cool I guess despite girlpower(it worked well in original Power Puff Girls tv mini-series).

Oh no, not poor Pepe said no one ever...


Pepe, a No means NO!

Well the thing is that the character's behavior is not depicted in a good light, which really is what matters.

If you "actually" wanted to pass a message that things have changed, a new movie could have been the right medium to teach that character a lesson, for example. Many remakes do that these days, keep some stories/characters "as-is" just to give it a twist (Aladdin comes to mind here but there's more).

But straight out making a character disappear does not eliminate the real problem at all, and it's incomprehensible in a society that glorifies all sorts of crimes and violence in fiction.

 

[LightyKD]

I'm so tired of this cancel culture shit! Let's just get rid of the 1st amendment while we're at it.

 

[Kioku]

Out of everything fiction being canceled? Pepe is probably one of the few truly reasonable ones. I won't beat the drum in the echo chamber.. But his character really is one that left a lot to be desired.. And fixed... He had one scene in Space Jam where he was remotely helpful. That was it. So, I bet they could easily work around his non-existent character in the second movie.

Normally, I'd say "fuck cancel culture"... But this was deserved.


Can we also cancel the new Powerpuff Girls "adult" show?

Protagonist(Dr. Kane) in the Ooze looked similar to Milo Touch from Disney Atlantis dualogy.

Same for Animaniacs remake? Duke Nukem 3D remake was cancelled because of Gearbox Software Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms were lawsuited. Fortnite Battle Royale because of some leaked modding tools and using aimbots Epic Games and Tencent are just so anti-consumer owners of Epic Games Launcher Storefront. Okay I won't be double posting however I just didn't know how to edit comment and add double quoted someone else comments. Jazz Jackrabbit was originally planed to be human,Sonic the Hedgehog was originally planned to be rabbit.

Wait what?! Whats this trash I hear, I must google at once!

Maybe he meant this? Chicken Robot aesthetics of Adult Swim.

Or this?

Yeah, they've got a pilot setup for the CW network.
