..ya know...watched elmer, bugs and daffy through my formative years...and beyond...and was never once “triggered” by the use of firearms to re-arrange daffy’s mug.

I guess I am just not “nuanced” enough.

[dinodino]

Elmer Fudd will also sport a pink pussy hat.

[smvoice]

Me neither. Although I did once write to ACME about acquiring an anvil.

[Veggie Todd]

So Wiley can’t get any more rockets from Acme?

[Kickass Conservative]

Remember when Spielberg magically changed the Guns the Government Agents were carrying into Walkie Talkies in his Film ET?

Then again, I’m still pissed because Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits is fine and dandy taking out this Verse from his Song Money for Nothing:

See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s millionaire

I recall reading somewhere that the DVDs of the Warner Bros. cartoons are the original ones uncut, because even by my days as a kid watching on TV (1970s and early 80s), some were apparently censored or even banned.

What, you didn't grow up on Warner Bros' "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs"?

I guess Marvin the Martian gets a pass since he's black.

Funny how watching years of Looney Tunes as a kid didn't push me towards gun violence. Nor did watching years of the Little Rascals make me a racist.

[Pontiac]

They are both racist caricatures of white people, right?

In his first four appearances Bugs Bunny was brown.

[FrdmLvr]

A scythe????? Isn’t that rather gruesome?

[Fresh Wind]

Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Yosemite Sam. I know one of them will be gay and one will be a tranny. Sam will be Hispanic. Daffy is already black but he will speak in Ebonics.

[Redmen4ever]

I going to tickle a wabbit.

[QualityMan]

lol

I was always partial to the Ace Novelty Company out of Walla Walla, Washington

In particular, the “Pipe Full of Fun Kit...No. 7”

[jeffc]

So the real Looney Tunes will only be available on the dark web...

[xp38]

Probably should give him a hammer too.

[HombreSecreto]

Sam will be Hispanic.

But Speedy Gonzalez won’t.

[Phlap]

[Phlap]

Even better.

[MomwithHope]

I can see it now. Black Ducks Matter. And Elmer kneeling to Bugs and making a peace/obedience pledge complete with a basket of carrots.

AND what about all the movies I’ve seen on TCM where all the maids and butlers are portrayed as slaves?! When is TCM going to remove the big chunk of those movies? Blacks should find it insulting that TCM gleefully still show those movies! When is Ted Turner going to ban those movies? I want to see all the hosts of TCM take a knee and vow a ban on every movie depicting a black actor as a servant! Every one of those movies need to be removed from their movie volt!! RIGHT?!! Fair is fair! Hollywood wants to play this game let the games begin!

[RoseofTexas]

Correction: meant vault...stupid autocorrect!!!
