Really ? Back when it came out it seemed like they knew.

Maybe just the new generation of people. Probably the same one that gets offended by everything.

For some reason people find Pepè Le-Pew is offensive and degrading to women.
@JLBHood I have to agree with the idea that some people look for things to find objectionable. Where is the connection between a flirtatious French moufette in a child’s cartoon and women ? Or maybe I just haven’t seen it in awhile.

The whole "cancel culture" thing makes me hate social media. People bringing up thinf that people said 20+ years ago is ridiculous.
@JLBHood Here’s the way I view that: If someone did or said something foolish as a young person, but learned better and spent their subsequent days living as a better person, that shouldn’t come back to bite them. But if a public figure expressed controversial ideas while young that they obviously still hold, I want to know that. And what is called “cancel culture” is basically what has always been so: The First Amendment protects you from prison or government retaliation (and even that’s been questionable). Free speech has never been “consequence-free” speech.
