www.thewrap.com/pepe-le-pew-normalized-rape-culture-ny-times-columnist-defends-right-wing-backlash/Famous pacinoyes signature photo icon Pepé Le Pew - noted French actor and skunk - was accused of normalizing rape culture by the NYT in the most ridiculous thing since their "Top 25 Actors of the 21st Century" article. pacinoyes - aka "pacinoEYES" - a known PROBLEMATIC - yet (weirdly) beloved - poster on MAR (um) - often includes the smelly sex addicted critter in his posts as symbolic of his carefree personality. His favorite movie is Chinatown (offensive!) directed by Roman Polanski (ew). Typical.We reached out to pacinoyes for comment but could not reach him. Several moderators on MAR said this "What do you mean you can't reach him, he's on here CONSTANTLY"  New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow doubled down on his assertion that Pepé Le Pew “normalized rape culture” Saturday following right-wing backlash to an op-ed he wrote earlier this week, which first called out the Warner Bros-created cartoon skunk’s behavior.
“RW blogs are mad bc I said Pepe Le Pew added to rape culture,” Blow tweeted Saturday. “Let’s see. 1. He grabs/kisses a girl/stranger, repeatedly, w/o 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.”

Have you watched the Clive James interview with Polanski? I love his films, but seriously... "Ew" is pretty much all I can come up with... |

Have you watched the Clive James interview with Polanski? I love his films, but seriously... "Ew" is pretty much all I can come up with... Are you kidding? I can practically recite it verbatim......  He says in that interview his entire thought process for his life, his work as a director, his flaws as a human being whether he realizes it or not: "Facts don't need interpretation. Facts are facts." - his entire life is within that quote - good, bad, beautiful, horrible, tragic, artistic, awful, survivalist.......if they ever make a biopic of him they should frame it around that one single quote - overwhelming irony..............on many levels. |

This is extremely dumb. It's a anthropomorphic, cartoon skunk.
The cultural left eventually needs to realize that all this pseudo intellectual noodling they do just makes them lose credibility and then the public doesn't listen to them when they are actually right and have something important to say.

Apparently he was cut before the NYT piece was published.

Idk how this is controversial to anyone. As thomasjerome pointed out, Dave Chappelle was talking about this over 20 years ago. I'd find it more weird if someone thought every piece of media from a century ago was A-OK in its underlying social politics. Some art ages well, some poorly and we drop the ones that aged poorly. That's been the standard forever, what's the big whoop? |

I have to say, watching the Oscar winning horror movie that was For Scent-imental Reasons was one of the most terrifying and traumatizing experiences of my childhood and rendered me a Pepe Le Pew hater from the off, so all I can say is IT'S ABOUT TIME! TIME'S UP, PEPE! TIME'S UP!

I don't think anybody is disputing that Pepe Le Pew is a rapist (or at least a sexual assaulter, because I doubt Pepe Le Pew actually had sex with another skunk onscreen). But to say Pepe Le Pew normalized rape culture is like saying Goofy normalized slavery because Goofy (an anthropomorphic dog) had Pluto for a pet. Or maybe Beauty and the Beast normalized bestiality. Or worse, The Shape of Water?
Unless the creators of Pepe Le Pew claimed that Pepe Le Pew is a good skunk that we should all take inspiration from in our daily lives, I think it's pretty boneheaded to suggest that Pepe Le Pew normalized rape culture. It's a cartoon, and cartoon characters do dumb shit that people are not supposed to do in real life. I think even children recognize that when they see Tom & Jerry trying to blow each other up using pyrotechnics.

What this does is drive the whole REALLY hardcore sexual Pepe Le Pew material to the Black Market where pervs feast on this sick stuff, I'd be happier if we accepted this material exists - kept it legal - only then can we shine a light on it and fight the patriarchy.........or something.
Will SOMEONE please think of the children!

Poor Charles Boyer, Pepe Le Pew is just based in his character in Algiers, who was a remake of Pepe Le Moko, based on a Novel of Henri La Barthe.-
Many of Pepe quotes are from this films.-
Charles Boyer, the biggest gentleman in Hollywood, the new victim of the wokes.-
At least 20 years ago the wokes were smart and intellectuals that at least read dozens and some even hundreds of books,today, they believe everything that's on twitter (300 characters)
