>Flawed challenged Masculinity
That wasn't the Gun Gags though. That was more the "Bugs dresses in Drag" gags.

oh no

he is right

i'm convinced anyone who cares about looney tunes is a massive autist

>It was about Elmer's flawed, challenged masculinity
I thought he was just an incompetent hunter. Who knew Chuck Jones was so woke?

It's obvious this man has no gun in his shorts

Couldn't he have been an animal control guy with one of those noose on a stick things at least? Fudd going farming for rabbits seems weird.

guys with challenged masculinity usually go buy a lot of guns

I refuse to believe he rationalized that last sentence as a defense for this nonsense. How far up your own ass do you have to be to even come to that conclusion. I can't even imagine the sort of mental gymnastics this guy does on a daily basis.

gun grabbers have been saying the "youo hav small pp" thing for decades, where's all the shit talking now that they're picking gun stores clean?

Explain to me what "challenged masculinity" is without sounding like a retard.

>You know how many gags we can do with guns? Fairly few.
And yet they chose to keep him a hunter.
>It's limiting
They limit themselves.
>flawed, challenged masculinity
So they'll gladly take an old franchise, change as little as possible for marketing reasons, but still can't draw themselves away from their BS contemporary ideas.

>man angry
>add in an interest in guns
>galaxy brain something something about masculinity maybe something about his peepee small

everytime innit. at least usually it's a woman with these takes

It’s different when they do it.

>And yet they chose to keep him a hunter.
except they didn't and if any of you fuckwits had actually seen the show you would know that

Not all animators agree with that idiot, here's one upset about having his short banned.

I like how a lot of the people working on the new Looney Tunes don't really liked Looney Tunes.

*chowengd mascuwinnidy

seems to be a trend of people making reboots not liking the original

>Flawed challenged Masculinity
Isn't that the point though? You're making fun of Yosemite or Elmer

The virgin Michael and the chad Ryan?

how many times have you posted these links now you pathetic fucking retard?

It's called Crimestop.

>except they didn't and if any of you fuckwits had actually seen the show you would know that.
They did, you stupid SHILL...
There's a 30 second cartoon of hunter Elmer trying to catch Bugs on almost every episode (No guns of course).

It feels like people are reacting to this person's use of the word "masculinity" more than what they're actually saying, because of how people get kneejerky about SJW shit.

*fwodd chowengd mascuwinnidy

lol brainlet

and what about the longer shorts featuring Elmer Fudd? Is he a hunter in those or do you just not want to bring those up because they ruin your pathetic fucking narrative?

For what reason other than allegiance to Ingsoc would they say that?

>more than what hes saying
hes saying it and hes using the word masculinity to do it, its not like its the kinda nitpicking thatd be avoided if he used a synonym. he knows dam well what he's saying

Because it's a fucking noose retard. Warner would be cancelled ten times faster if they portrayed a white character holding a noose than a gun.

Oh boo hoo they decided not to have guns perhaps if your entire country wasn't trying to use them to masturbate, change TV channels and pick their noses (in that order) then there wouldn't be a need to ban them to avoid little Jimmy from being upset at being remined of the fifteen school shootings that occurred that day, so if you don't like it don't fucking watch and get a fucking life.

>I-it doesn’t count that they showed him hunting because it’s not all he does!
Pathetic.

>Won't use guns because they are scared of being compared to the people who came before
>Deliberately copies old versions of the characters
>Talks about toxic masculinity, a term developed in the 1980s
>Elmer Fudd, was invented in 1937.
Is this bait or is this guy actually retarded?

welcome to the post-2016 right where we cry about words that trigger us like "masculinity" or "lgbt" or "white" for weeks on end

>they did a thing
>you: no they didnt!
>here see where they did it
>you: but theres places where they didnt do it
not how you prove a negative

Purge all Checkmarks

Are people supposed to only be insulted by shitty things aimed at irrelevant minorities?

>i-it doesn't count when they actually focus on the character or have dialogue
why not go and make 5 more threads about how triggered you are by this news article for a show you've obviously never watched

>peak
the worst is yet to come

Take notes anons: THIS is how you reboot a character who isn't allowed to have their guns

>If a term didn't exist, the idea it's representing didn't either
>Didn't even use the phrase 'toxic masculinity'
Are you actually fucking retarded user?
The English word for 'air' didn't exist in prehistoric times I guess air didn't exist either.
God you're so fucking stupid. It's unbelievable how fucking retarded your post was. Fucking hell. You fucking idiot.

he was just a buffoon who got outsmarted by a rabbit, why do these freaks have to bring politics into everything

I get his point, though the last sentence doesn't really add anything, but if that's how they or he feels, why even bring back fudd in the first place? His only point is to show how Bugs and sometimes daffy outsmart and humiliate hunters who go out to hunt and kill animals.

>if you hold this one opinion that happens to be commonly associated with a certain side of the political spectrum, you must belong to that side, agree with all their other views as wel, and that's they case for everyone on that side all the same
that's fucking retarded literally only all you leftists think that

But I thought americans loved guns, what is the world coming to?

I just have to tell you to dilate tranny and you lose your mind

It means the gun was overcompensation for his tiny dick.

shut up and apply reading comprehension next time.

I buy gats because I like mechanical things

Don't forget "all."

>make an accusation and then immediately commit that action in the exact same post
???

Well, they were more of a gimmick to begin with, weren't they?
For a hunter the gun is the function of his profession. The tool of the trade.

And here I thought most hunters use guns I guess I was wrong as well. How do people hunt anymore?

It's actually the definition of limiting when you take away an option/prop to use as potential gags. But the people who make cartoons now-a-days are three-time winning mental gymnasts who are constantly virtue signaling with shit like, "We didn't want guns because of mass shootings", but explosives are okay because there haven't been bombings?

Ironic these cartoonists think that a prop doesn't define a character but their skin color or gender identity does.

Elmer Fudd was funny because he's a bumbling hunter. Like any regular modern hunter, he uses guns to kill his prey. I can't believe idiots like this guy not only fail to understand the humor of this but also try to infuse their modern liberal politics into it too.

I really fucking hate what modern entertainment has become.

So many other things would have worked instead and it would not have brought up any issue. But putting Elmer in hunting gear with a random farm tool is just weird and makes people ask questions. They could have tried

>Cartoon butterfly net and Elmer is a fur trapper or someone that wants the rabbit out of his yard
>Elmer is animal control and called to remove a rabbit from some place
>Blowgun that shoots tranq darts, Elmer keeps getting hit by them and passing out
>Chainsaw, Elmer is a logger and Bugs is trying to get him to stop cutting down the forest
>Fishing pole and net, Elmer is fishing out in the woods and Bugs keeps messing with him
>Cartoon dynamite, Elmer is a DOT road crew clearing out to have a road paved and Bugs is stopping him.

So shouldn't the actual answer here be "Don't make Elmer a hunter?" He has been a lot of shit in the past, just do that instead.

Even fucking LGBTQ+ inclusive paradise included a shotgun. C'mon, cartoonists, stop acting like you're being progressive for censoring shit.

I blame it on the decline of cowboy culture.
It allowed the Jew to proliferate.

That would be sensible and you're right, Elmer has been things other than a hunter. But making him a hunter with a scythe is hands down the most retarded thing imaginable.

rebecca is surprisingly based, sure woman has daft ideas but I always felt like they were HER daft ideas
besides this is the person that drew her self insert in invader zim and the ed boys fucking and trucking

>I swear I'm not a coward!
The post.

How many years ago was this
Looney Tunes could have guns in 2014 too

>it was about Elmer's flawed, challenged masculinity
What?

Also, the gun isn't just there for the gags. Having Elmer just walking in the woods dressed like a hunter and holding a gun sets up everything we need to know about the character and context in a single image without having to say a word. He could immediately lose the gun and it would have still done its job just by being there in the first place. This guy is an idiot.

apparently they brutalize small animals with huge gardening tools instead of killing them quickly and painlessly, it's more humane this way.

Well, there is some veracity to the obvious implememt limiting options.
If Elmer has a gun then there are very limited actions he could sensibly take because it's all about the gun. And guns are very linear in the way they function.
If he doesn't have a gun you have to come up with more elaborate and colorful scenarios for him to hunt his wabbit.
And I imagine by now EVERY gun gag has been done to death. Although the same is probably true for most alternatives, too.

Posting my favorite gun gag from looney tunes.
