This is what’s up, doc
You knew it had to happen.
A compilation of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons, “Best of Looney Tunes,” now comes with a warning.
“Some of the cartoons you are about to see are a product of their time,” the “trigger warning” reads. “They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society. These depictions were wrong then and they are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros.’ view of today’s society, some of these cartoons are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed.”
Yes, the cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner and other characters you laughed at as a kid because of Bugs’ cleverness in outwitting Daffy Duck or Elmer Fudd, or the Roadrunner’s schemes to get the better of Wile E. Coyote can’t be enjoyed on their own merit.
