In a new series based on the beloved Looney Tunes cartoons, the classic character Elmer Fudd will no longer carry a gun.
The new series Looney Tunes Cartoons, which premiered last week on the streaming service HBO Max, will feature the cartoons characteristic violence using sticks of dynamite, booby traps and the iconic anvils and bank safes dropped onto characters, The New York Times reported last week.
However, Peter Browngardt, the series executive producer and showrunner, told the outlet, Were not doing guns.
But we can do cartoony violence TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in, Browngardt told the outlet.
Elmer Fudd is regularly foiled trying to hunt Bugs Bunny on the show. In the new series, the character will carry a scythe.
However, comics artist Johnny Ryan, who worked on the show, noted to the Times that he believes Were going through this wave of anti-bullying, everybody needs to be friends, everybody needs to get along.

Give him a machete. The left seems fine with the Islamic nutbags of the world slicing up people.

Elmer without a shotgun makes the Rabbit season/Duck season cartoon impossible.

They’ll probably make him into a bull-dyke tranny as well.
To: yesthatjallen
He’ll be a gay predator but this time dressed fabulous.

So, you can blow up a character with dynamite but not shoot him or her?
Who in the f**k hunts rabbits with a scythe? And is killing by using a scythe somehow morally superior to using a gun.
LIBTARDS! Is there anything that they won't ruin?
