Looney Tunes has been some of the least woke and most entertaining television content to occupy young skulls full of mush over the last half century or so. Yosemite Sam’s six-shooters and Elmer Fudd’s rifle were Saturday morning fixtures. Kids watched and loved them because they were dumb and funny, constantly outsmarted by their smart-assed prey.
But that wasn’t good enough for the people Warner Brothers animation. Last year, as Americans were buying record numbers of guns and ammo, corporate America was buying into the idea that toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, and white supremacy were what really ail this country. So WB’s wokesters decided that cartoon characters with guns just wasn’t in keeping with modern sensibilities.
The decision was made to do away with the ballistics and give ol’ Elmer a scythe instead. Because dismembering Bugs with a razor-sharp blade is far less damaging to young psyches than shooting the adorable bunny with a gun. Right?

Anyway, that was then…this is now. When the latest season of Looney Tunes Cartoons reappeared on HBO Max last week, there was Elmer chasing Bugs as he always had, boomstick back in hand.

I thought it would have been a more relevant update if they had made Elmer an MS-13 member, and given him a machete.

Not that it's at all relevant to the issue at hand, but...I was always under the impression that Elmer Fudd was toting a shotgun. I seem to recall multiple pellets flying at Bugs. No? Am I misremembering?Suck My Glock wrote: ↑July 15th, 2021, 4:40 amYosemite Sam’s six-shooters and Elmer Fudd’s rifle were Saturday morning fixtures.
