Elmer Fudd Gets RED-flagged

[hadit]

It seems Disney Looney Toons has red-flagged Elmer Fudd and taken his shotgun. Now, like a good Disney Socialist, he carries a sickle (maybe a scythe for the purists who will challenge me on it - not much difference between the two).

You are acting like this is a new thing. Back in the 1990's, they edited the crap out of the short "Rabbit Fire", which the gag was that Daffy Duck kept trying to get Elmer to shoot Bugs Bunny, but ended up getting shot himself. The scenes with Daffy getting shot were edited out, along with some of the more graphic results.

The problem is, of course, that these shorts were intended for adults, not children, when they were written. Adults get that if you get a face full of buckshot, it isn't really funny. Kids don't get that guns are dangerous, so showing guns as a comedic device leads to little Timmy shooting Little Billy, thinking he'll be fine.

Except that little Timmy, seeing these cartoons every Saturday morning, didn't end up shooting little Billy. Now, if you're REALLY going down the road of saying that popular entertainment causes kids to act out irresponsibly, are you going to then condemn rap artists for showing that women really are nothing more than bitches and hos? Will you condemn video game manufacturers for creating games for kids in which they compete for the highest body count? These are valid questions.

LMAO! That stuff is great in its original form. Why do they have to mess with it?

And the dynamite and bombs are OK. Hacking up animals with a sharp object is OK.

Think about it Liberals used dynamite and bombs during the riots and they took Elmer's shot gun and replaced it with the symbol of communism the sickle

Looney Tunes Has Taken Elmer Fudd's Gun Away for HBO Max Revival

It's wabbit hunting season once again, only this time, someone has come for Elmer Fudd's gun. In the new Looney Tunes Cartoons series (which debuted May 27 on HBO Max), the huntsman is back in action, but his signature rifle is gone. (And he often doesn't even appear in his hunting outfit.)...

Clearly he is obsessed with killing the wabbit.

And the wabbit outwitted him every time. That was the comedy part, how would Bugs escape and turn the tables this time? The LAST thing anyone really wanted was for the Fudd to actually kill Bugs.

Has LaPierre weighed in on this outrage?

What's next? How about a Road Runner cartoon where he and Wiley have peaceful dialogue and learn to coexist?

Or better yet in every episode Road Runner hits WIley over the head with a bicycle lock cuz Coyote Privilege.

Speak for your own kids if they are too dumb to understand the difference between a cartoon and reality. My children know full well that cartoon violence isn't real life.

The reality is this is stupid. Where does it stop? I used to watch a cartoon called Speed Racer, should they remake it and call it "Drives the speed limit racer" for the dumb kids who don't understand that speeding is illegal?

Of course, as I say all this I fully concede that 75% of Americans are outright stupid and probably not capable of explaining the difference between a cartoon and reality to their equally stupid children, but then that raises the obvious question. Shouldn't we be focusing on having less stupid people in this country?

Naw, just the 46% who voted for Trump are stupid.

The NIH Disagrees with you, though.

Bang Bang, You’re … NOT Dead and You’re … NOT Even Hurt?! Messages Provided by Animated Cartoons about Gun Violence

Relying upon a content analysis of animated cartoons, this study examines the messages provided about gun violence, focusing on the following questions: () How prevalent is gun violence in animated cartoons? () Has this prevalence changed over time? () ...

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Results indicate that gun violence is prevalent in cartoons and the prevalence has not diminished over time. Cartoons provide inaccurate information about the characteristics associated with perpetrating or being a victim of gun violence. Oftentimes, the use of firearms is shown to result in no negative consequences to the perpetrator or the victim, and this is true even when victims are shown to be shot. When effects are shown, they tend to be minor in nature. Anger, revenge, and inherent meanspiritedness are the most common reasons implied for why characters commit acts of gun violence.

The ironic thing was, when Chuck Jones created Road Runner, he wanted something that was so over the top in the violence that it would be absurd. He never realized it would catch on.

Actually, that's not true. We have hundreds of cases every year of children shooting children with guns someone didn't secure properly.

We must make sure no more children are added to this list

Every year, hundreds of children in the US gain access to firearms and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else. This is #NotAnAccident.

There was no need to do something like that! To me Elmer was funny mostly because of his gun
