No one had Pepé Le Pew becoming a figurehead of the anti-cancel culture movement on their 2021 bingo card, and yet here we are. This month, a damning New York Times op-ed blasted the classic Looney Tunes character for glorying "rape culture," due to the French skunk's non-consensual pursuing of his love interest. This led to Warner Bros. announcing that Pepé will be retired from the cartoon universe's roster and will no longer feature in future movie and TV projects.
