I know jack about what you're talking about but I feel like there's a difference with a cartoon character in a children show doing no-no stuff and characters/monsters doing no-no stuff in movie intented for adults.
Apparently Pepe le Pew was removed from Space Jam: A New Legacy due to the nature of his character, people thinking he represents the r word (Can't say it since it gets censored), and yet this film proceeds to feature the following two I mentioned, one of the two, in this case, the cast of The Clockwork Orange who actually commits that crime.

He never has, that's my point. It seems cancel culture or people revolving around it think that's what he represents apparently despite never actually having committed it.

Why I think this whole removal of his character was utterly idiotic and pointless if they proceed to add the following two I mentioned before.

Never. But he did have some serious boundary issues.

I don’t really care that much that they took him out, it’s not like he’s the funniest looney toon. But you can’t do that and then add a literal gang of murderous sexual predators into the movie.

The real reason those don't want to be with Pepe le Pew is because he's a god damn skunk. It's his smell that drives Penelope Cat away from him.

That's the point and joke of his character in the segments he's featured in, that and him being supposedly this ladies man.

Yeah but those two characters are obviously bad peoples, and everyone know that.

I don't know much about Pepe to make a call here, but i'm assuming he isn't a vilain all the time, which make his case more grey if anything.

Idk tho, not my call here to say if it's a bad thing or not

I mean, memes existed before the internet. Stupid 5 second digestable jokes have been in newspapers, books, and other media for centuries.

This is one from the 1920s.
How does this image from nearly a century ago have the same energy as something i can pull out of my facebook group chat?

Wait a minute.

Oh my god that is the joke. lol


Same tbh.

It was one of those shows that was so stupid sometimes, it just worked.
I know right? That''s what i found so funny, it's so stupid that it circles back to being genuinely funny.

I don’t mind memes being recognized if they’re relevant to the series itself, like Spiderverse incorporating 60’s memes or I could digest Big Chungus in Space Jam over something like Pineapple Apple Pen in Emoji movie (Not like the movie would’ve been better if it wasn’t there).

The big issue with Pepe is that he didn't know how to respect boundries at all and never really got negative reprecussions, which is definitely not something that you want to show to a highly impressionable audience.
Well they shouldn't be removing him then if they then proceed to add child eater Pennywise and the cast of Clockwork Orange into the crowd in this case. That makes it hypocritical.

I think there might be a difference between actual characters with speaking roles versus background cameos.
I mean if this was the case why couldn't they have just made Pepe a background character then as well or at the very least a cameo.

I get it, it because due to skunks smelling pretty bad in real life?
