Space Jam 2: Where references to A Clockwork Orange are more appropriate for kids than Pepe LePew or Speedy Gonzales

Seriously, WB? This has trainwreck written all over it.

Clockwork Orange is ok because they only assaulted a Karen

Mexico and France used to be at war, now they are united by unPC cartoon characters.

I never liked Pepe Le Pew. He was always bothering that little black cat that somehow got a white stripe painted on her back every episode. Even as a kid I thought he was a pest.

However, I did like how he bounced when he walked. That was cool.

Read the zeitgeist OP. People are more open about sexuality and menral illness. Those cartoon characters are anachronisms, since they based their whimsicals on racial stereotypes.

They deliberately put Clockwork Orange in the movie to drive fake controversy, but they didn't need to go to the trouble.

R4 to English: "Conform to mob mentality and make false equivalents between classic cartoon characters and racist stereotypes of Black people."

Cancel Culture

noun: term use by conservatives in an attempt to guilt other out of criticizing for racist, bigoted, and/or bullying remarks

And what a garbage right-wing rant channel that is, OP.

STFU, fascist R7.

Oh, nice staking R8. Again, why is someone who claims that gay men are women and throws around the word 'faggot' even on a gay board?

by Anonymousreply 9April 7, 2021 5:42 AM

Shut the fuck up, R9, you racist piece of shit. France is a white country that enabled Nazis to take over their country. Being made fun of by cartoons is the least of their problems. Getting offended makes you a racist.

And since both of these characters had Mel Blanc as their original voice artist, then anti-semitism is also motivating this.

Just for this you will watch Pepe LePew cartoons and like them.

R10, Just answer my question. If you think gay men are women and feel comfortable calling gay men 'faggots' why are you even here?

by Anonymousreply 12April 7, 2021 5:45 AM

R12's parents collaborated with the Nazis.

Hey, stupid, they replaced the white voice actors who voiced black characters with black voice actors. For example, Carl is now voiced by Alex Désert.

Again, stalker at R18. I was pointing out your repeated use of the word as an insult on a gay message board.

by Anonymousreply 20April 7, 2021 6:09 AM

They're still impersonating a white man's impersonation of a Black man.

Meanwhile, Dan Castellaneta is not Jewish but he still voices Krusty the Klown. Harry Shearer is not gay but he is still the voice of Waylon Smithers; he's not a Christian either but he still plays Ned Flanders. Julie Kavner is not a lesbian, but she's still Aunt Patty along with her str8 and desperate sister Selma.

Yeah, dummy OP.

A Clockwork Orange characters are standing in a crowd scene. They literally DON'T interact or speak or do anything in the movie.

Whereas Pepe had a whole scene that was him assaulting some lady. SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

Also, the director said Pepe's scene was cut because it didn't work in the movie - not because Pepe is un-pc. It came off as an "consent PSA" that essentially stopped the movie to have the characters talk about consent - and it just didn't work in the movie as a whole. That's it.

Tons of scenes, characters, and storylines are cut from movies every day. So many actors have stories of how they filmed scenes in some great or interesting movie only to be left on the cutting room floor. WERE ALL THOSE ACTORS CANCELLED? Nope. The just got cut from a movie.

Also, here's some bad news for you; Mr Potato Head still exists. It's still a product called "Mr Potato Head" - It and the other Potato based characters are just now sold under the "Potato Head" line of toys instead of the "Mr. Potato Head" line of toys. That's the change all the rightwing dipshits are upset about. Hasbro posted a press release exactly explaining it but all the rightwing "news" twisted the info to rile up their rubes.

[bold]All this is just shitstirring theater because they're scrambling to find SOMETHING to bitch about because Biden's approval numbers and policy polls are so good[/bold]

The movie is about a violent human rapist from England. It was given an X on its original release.

You're an anti-male bigot if you approve of this, and "rube" is a classist slur so you just keep piling bigotries on top of one another.

Fixed.

^^^ Swing and a miss there, R23.

But keep practicing, fool.

by Anonymousreply 24April 7, 2021 6:47 AM

No, I hit the target on the fucking dot, R24. You're the one who is gloating over falsified poll results by oligarchic war criminals. The attack on Mr. Potato Head was an act of anti-male bigotry. So was changing the name of Mr. Pibb to Pibb Xtra. If you deny that misandry is motivating these changes, then you're doubling the misandry.

But keep projecting your stupidity onto me until they finally cancel you, fascist.

Haha. "The attack on Mr. Potato Head." Very fun, R25. Thanks for the chuckle.

You're toeing the line on Poe's Law there. I appreciate it.
