Farmboy91 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Not sure if anyone else has seen this but an article from the mail came up in my news feed saying that looney tunes has been relaunched and Elmer fudd and Yosemite Sam have been stripped of their guns, being replaced by sycthe's and dynamite. I'm sure someone more technical capable than me can post the link. What a joke though, dread to what the world is going to be like when I have grandkids.

There was already a big fuss about that a few years back as it was regarded as racist. Scary times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If kids want to see some of the old racist cartoons they are still all over YouTube. Even some of the old Mickey mouse stuff is rather suspect! My son is a big Thomas the tank engine fan and I remember at one point there was a big fuss over something Gordon the engine said! But guns in kids programs is nothing compared to them playing computer games like fortnite and shooting each others player in the face with sniper rifles while using headsets to verbally abuse each other over the internet. Their language would make a sailor blush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their language would make a sailor blush To be honest I suppose like alot of others I grew up watching those cartoons and I turned out ok, I don't anyone judge based on race or skin colour etc. With Tom and Jerry as a prime example kicking a cat up the backside should be where the problem is. But yes I do 100% agree with the games, my lad doesn't live with me but he's on fornite at he's mums and gets such a temper from it. I'm not anti gaming, sometimes when he's over we'll kill an hour or two on the Xbox but I dread to think what's said online as let's face it, they aren't always playing other children.
