Speaking of creepy skunks you guys ever heard of Geoffroy? A character from Sonic archie comics? Geoffroy was a pedophile and fucked Sonic's love interest before he did.

Just another look into the mind of Ken Penders, the crazy man who legitimately thinks Knuckles is HIS character and sega stole the character from him after he made Knuckles a success in the west oh by the way he wanted to show Knuckles's race microwaving their eggs and eating their kids for reasons and their 4 headed penises


Whut?

Like many cartoons of that era he is based on a cultural stereotype

Also, did anyone else find it weird that Pepe was an animal who acted like a human, but he almost exclusive went after females who acted like regular cats?

I wouldn't really think too hard about it.

If I was out hunting rabbits and one of them came up to me and started talking to me I probably would run the fuck away and not shoot it.

He's actually based on a self-professed ladies' man employee working at Termite Terrace. The character he derives his namesake from, Pepe le Moko, was a tragic romantic gangster hero and scarcely any sort of creeper.

I never had a problem with Pepe. He was a French stereotype, pursuing a cat he thought was a skunk, who always resisted because he fucking stinks. He never won, and would sometimes even get a taste of his own medicine. I put him in the same category as Johnny Bravo. They're both over-the-top stereotypes and much of the humor derives from the absurdity of it all. Their actions are obviously not meant to be celebrated or emulated. We laugh at shit that would be reprehensible in the real world all the time.
That being said, I never cared for Pepe shorts. Like Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner shorts, I found most of 'em too formulaic and boring.

Well like I've already said. Pepe is presented in a way where his dominant problem is he smells bad while Johnny's predominant problem is that he's a chauvinist / misogynist.

When women react to Johnny it's because he's rude or offensive with his behavior.

Pepe's creepy ass sexual assault is always virtually ignored. The women that Pepe targets aren't trying to escape a rapist they're trying to escape a bad smell.

How typical of a MK fan to not know the difference between a company being censored (i.e. forced by an outside entity to remove content) and a company choosing to move away from bad decisions of the past.

This is true, but I think that's because his sexual advances were so firmly placed in a comedic context that it didn't really come off as offensive to most folks. It was basically what you'd expect from a parody of a Frenchman (romantic, smelly, etc.), and we always knew that it would only go as far as smothering the cat with hugs and kisses anyway. It's essentially the same as the Kankers "sexually assaulting" the Eds.

None of his skits were even funny or memorable. Nobody gave a damn about him until he could be connected to the cancel culture "debate".

Then there's the small problem of him being rape culture skunkified.

I think the point here of that sexual assault jokes aren't really funny in the first place. It's very mean spirited humor.

Johnny Bravo was different IMO. He made moves and was egotistical for sure, but I feel there was more female empowerment in the sense that it shown Johnny to be an absolute lunkhead, who 99% of the time, got his ass beat by these women he hit on.

Pepe, the cat just kept running away and Pepe wouldn't take no. Johnny got his ass beat, and that woman's scene was practically over with for the rest of the episode.

Unfortunately, Chuck Jones was just formulaic as fuck. But nobody thought Pepe's behavior was appropriate; he was just another exaggerated personality in a cartoon cast full of 'em, and his shorts were just a different take on the classic chase formula. The real crime was that his shorts just weren't that good/memorable.

Johnny is basically a buff, dimwitted, narcissistic womanizer who thinks he's cool as hell, but is actually a total loser who still lives at home with his mother. Both the character and show were hilarious.

Oh yes, I re-visted that episode a couple of years ago and I'm just as amazed that they somehow got away with that scene...especially considering Johnny is implied to be at least well into his 20s...

Yeah, Pepe is literally meant to be an exaggeration of the stereotypical french romantic and french culture.
He was never a reference of american culture or how american men back then should act.

The problem with Pepe now is that he's a joke that's 70 years removed contextually.
