In LeBron James’s upcoming cash grab Space Jam 2, an attempt to fully replace Michael Jordan in the annals of history, LeBron has a conversation about consent with Pepe Le Pew, the infamously creepy Looney Tunes skunk. According to Deadline, a scene was filmed in which Pepe, a bartender, starts kissing a woman’s arm because that’s what he has done since he was first drawn. The woman retracts her arm. Pepe then comments casually that Penelope the Cat, a Tune that he frequently harassed throughout the ’90s, has filed a straining order against him. James, the hero, “remarks in the script that Pepe can’t grab other Tunes without their consent.” Incredible.
