An artist for Looney Tunes Cartoons questions if viewers 'seriously care' whether Elmer Fudd [...]
Slide 1
I’m all for positive programming... But how do you depict #ElmerFudd and #YosemiteSam without guns? It’s make believe. They are cartons. We are going backwards people.

It’s getting ridiculous.... 🙄https://t.co/NCFh8x4m4F
prevnextThe looney tunes remake with Elmer Fudd not having a gun is ridiculous. The whole premise of the cartoon was him hunting for BB and Daffy with a gun. What is he going to have a camera to take pics with. Chuck Jones must be turning over in his grave along with Mel Blanc. pic.twitter.com/Tvx9h76A2u

Slide 2
so Elmer Fudd having a gun is promoting violence and chaos, but him having a scythe like the fucking grip reaper, booby traps, and literal sticks of dynamite is perfectly fine. at this point why dont you have Elmer and Bugs Bunny work out their issues with one another in therapy? pic.twitter.com/6x5pUXIDlh

prevnextI CAN'T BELIEVE THE NEW LOONEY TUNES CARTOONS *cough* which are actually great, go check them out *cough* WON'T LET ELMER FUDD USE A GUN.
ELMER'S ONLY CHARACTER TRAIT IS A GUN. THAT'S IT. THE ORIGINAL CREATORS WOULD NEVER MAKE A CARTOON WHERE HE DIDN'T USE A GUN AT ALL-

prevnextanyway, anyone who is mad about them taking away Elmer Fudd's hunting rifle probably has not watched any Looney Tunes media in the past 10 years where he rarely has it and also once was implied to have regular sex with a grilled cheese sandwich. pic.twitter.com/w3PdBbomrA

I can't believe this needs to be said, but Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd were never responsible gun owners anyway. pic.twitter.com/4dgJ83WVgu

The New Looney Tunes Cartoons will not feature guns in any fashion, including for Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam per the creators.
While this may be upsetting for some, I will say it hasn't diminished the quality of the new shorts at all. They're very good and I recommend them. pic.twitter.com/9f3ZaOKb6V
