In the iconic cartoons, the obvious gag is that Pepé is a skunk and stinks, and therefore his targets of affection flee from him because of this. Yet he is persistent and chases them throughout the cartoon. In a column published last week, The New York Times opinion writer Charles M. Blow said the character "normalized rape culture."

In the scene, Pepe reportedly starts hitting on a female character and begins kissing her arm. But she pulls back, slams him into a chair, pours a drink on him and slaps him, which sends him spinning in a barstool. Do you agree this scene should be removed? Yes
