Earlier this week, comedian Larry the Cable Guy commented on the news that Pepe Le Pew, the skunk from Looney Tunes, will be cut from the film "Space Jam: A New Legacy," saying that “we’re neck deep in commie stupidity” and telling his followers to “push back.”
“The controversial French skunk.” Lol????. These cancel morons literally have mental problems. Push back folks. Seriously, we’re neck deep in commie stupidity. Just say no to thugs. “Controversial French skunk” ???????. ????. Absolute moronic insanity. PUSH BACK! pic.twitter.com/LmMofJLlfL — Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) March 8, 2021
Apparently, the decision to cut the character’s scene came after New York Times columnist Charles Blow accused Pepe Le Pew of perpetuating rape culture.
-snip-
On Sunday, a few days after Blow’s article was published, Deadline reported that the character will no longer appear in the movie, saying:
“Pepe was set to appear in a black-and-white Casablanca-like Rick’s Cafe sequence. Pepe, playing a bartender, starts hitting on a woman at the bar played by [actress Greice] Santo. He begins kissing her arm, which she pulls back, then slamming Pepe into the chair next to hers. She then pours her drink on Pepe, and slaps him hard, sending him spinning in a stool, which is then stopped by LeBron James’ hand. James and Bugs Bunny are looking for Lola, and Pepe knows her whereabouts. Pepe then tells the guys that Penelope cat has filed a restraining order against him. James makes a remark in the script that Pepe can’t grab other Tunes without their consent.

At least while the left is cancelling imaginary cartoon characters, they aren’t going after real people.
Maybe if we invent more non-PC imaginary characters, we can keep them busy chasing that rabbit forever!
Maybe instead of cancelling Pepe they can just change his name to Andrew.
And give him a New York accent.
Whenever someone tells me not to read or watch something I am seized with an uncontrollable compulsion to...watch or read whatever upset the powers that be so much. Humans are funny like that.
