- Pepé Le Pew has been the subject of controversy as an op-ed was written in the New York Times earlier this month calling out the skunk for glorying “rape culture” due to the constant pursuit of his love interest.
- It’s being said the article led to the cancelation of the Looney Tunes character from upcoming movie and television projects, including the Space Jam 2release.
- Now fans of Pepé are banning together with Change.org petitions calling for the reinstatement of the character and one has garnered over 1,000 signatures with a goal of 1,500.
- It’s likely the petitions won’t change Warner Bros decision on canceling Pepé, but his absence from Space Jam: A New Legacy, was a disappointment for co-star Greice Santo, who was to appear in a scene with Pepé that would focus on consent, she’s offered $100,000 for the raw footage.
