... though I know it'll sound like rattling the walker, I'm glad that we're mostly done with sexual assault being considered humorous enough to be included as a running joke in cartoons watched by children.

We're only mostly done with the male in female version. Male on male and especially female on male sexual assault still gets treated as the height of comedy for the most part.

Unfortunately that seems to be true.

I feel bad for the actor he's based on (whose name escapes me atm), since I heard he's a good guy;;

There's always been some debate over whether Pepe's based on Maurice Chevalier or Charles Boyer. Both actors had to deal with way more traumatic stuff in their lives than whether or not a pervy cartoon skunk was based on them. (Also, Boyer played the husband in Gaslight. I don't think he worried much about being affiliated with problematic fictional characters.)

According to Wikipedia, Chuck Jones, Pepé's creator, wrote that Pepé was based (loosely) on the personality of his Termite Terrace colleague, writer Tedd Pierce, a self-styled "ladies' man" who reportedly always assumed that his infatuations were reciprocated. Pepé's voice, provided by Mel Blanc, was based on Charles Boyer's Pépé le Moko from Algiers (1938), a remake of the 1937 French film Pépé le Moko. There have been theories that Pepé was based on Maurice Chevalier. However, in the short film, Chuck Jones: Memories of Childhood, Jones says Pepé was actually based on himself, but that he was very shy with girls, and Pepé obviously was not.

No fair. Chuck voted twice, and neither time was for a French guy.

Yeah, in retrospect Pepe Le Pew was pretty much the epitome of the fuckboi who just won't leave a girl alone even when she explicitly and repeatedly says "no".

I am sure that watching or listening to Vincent Cassel or Alain Delon will change your mind.

It blows my mind that Looney Tunes as a franchise is so old. The original shorts ran from 1930 to 1969 and it's just... hard for me to fully compute because they seem so '80's-esque' to me. It's just a few years younger than Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Same! Also the cat is so adorable and squishy looking!

I guess I felt like it was a play on skunks being gross more than men being gross, at the time, but still. Ick.
