Well after Dr. Seuss got cancelled it appears 2021 is set to cancel another animated character. This time it’s Pepe Le Pew. This comes after a New York Times columnist took to Twitter to call out the cartoon skunk Pepé Le Pew for adding to "rape culture." Anybody else have Pepe Le Pew getting cancelled on their 2021 Bingo Card? I remember being a kid and seeing that thinking that was nuts. And hey if you’ve been following the story you’re going to wanna check out how this plays out. 

Charles M Blow took to Twitter in a series of tweets. The first tweet captions: Let’s see. 1. He grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, without consent and against her will. 2 She struggles mightily to get away from him, but he won’t release her. 3 He locks a door to prevent her from escaping.

In a follow-up tweet. Blow added that the cartoon stereotype helped teach boys that ‘no’ didn’t really mean no, that it was a part of ‘the game,’ the starting line of a power struggle. It taught overcoming a woman’s strenuous, even physical objections, was normal, adorable, funny. They didn’t even give the woman the ability to speak.

Now this was not the first time the skunk got called out. Comedic genius Dave Chappelle had also called out Pepé Le Pew many years ago while on stage. To top it all off Pepe Le Pew will not be making an appearance in the Space Jam: A New Legacy film set to release this summer.
