New York Times wants Pepe Le Pew cancelled

Apparently the communist left isn’t satisfied with just Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss. Now communist rag, New York Times and communist op-ed writer Chris Blow is calling for the cancellation of old cartoon character Pepe Le Pew because he endorses rape culture or something. Someone please wake me up when this whole alternate reality I’m apparently living in is over. Pepe Le Pew is a cartoon, French SKUNK! The New York Times and Charles Blows also wants Speedy Gonzales cancelled.

>Dr. Seuss was canceled last week, and six of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s books were discontinued by his own estate, plus eBay yanked the children’s book from its online retail platform. This week’s figure beloved by children that is being canceled by leftists is Looney Tunes’ character Pepe Le Pew, who is a cartoon skunk.

Pepe Le Pew is an animated fictional French skunk who romantically pursues a black cat, who he believes is a skunk. Penelope Pussycat always fights off Pepe’s advances because he is a stinky skunk. To most everyone who has been watching Pepe Le Pew since debuting in 1945, this is a silly cartoon. But for New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow, he doesn’t see a cartoon, he sees this as the normalization of rape culture.

Blow wrote an op-ed about the Dr. Seuss situation, and demanded that other pop culture icons also be canceled. He cited the 1953 Looney Tunes character, Speedy Gonzales, for pushing racist stereotypes against Mexicans. He also condemned Mammy Two Shoes from the classic cat and mouse cartoon “Tom & Jerry.”

He also cautioned the dangers of watching a cartoon skunk, “Some of the first cartoons I can remember included Pepé Le Pew, who normalized rape culture.”
