Pepe Le' Pew cancelled for promoting rape culture.

It happened 2 years ago but I just heard about it. Here is the article,

https://www.wfla.com/news/viral-news/goodbye-pepe-...

(NEXSTAR) ' You won't be seeing much of the Looney Tunes skunk Pepé Le Pew in future productions, according to multiple reports.

Over the weekend, a New York Times opinion piece called out the cartoon character saying his actions 'normalized rape culture.'

Pepé Le Pew is a French skunk that was often out looking for love from various characters ' but most usually a cat. His actions were often unwanted and aggressive.

=======================

One funny comment I read, which is the real reason for this post,

"I'm glad he's cancelled and my children are safe.

Now my son can get back to playing Grand Theft Auto where he just set a hooker on fire so he didn't have to pay her."
