Men Are Melting Down After 'Space Jam 2' Redesigned Lola Bunny To Give Her A Less 'Sexualized' Look

Men Are Melting Down After 'Space Jam 2' Redesigned Lola Bunny To Give Her A Less 'Sexualized' Look

Space Jam was a formative part of any 90s kid's childhood and part of that was due in no small part to Lola Bunny.

Lola, who was a new design for the original Space Jam, showed up and took our collective breath away after she totally thrashed Bugs Bunny in a pick-up basketball match and whispered to him "don't ever call me doll."

With the news of Space Jam: A New Legacy on the horizon, fans are looking forward to the return of Lola Bunny.

She looks a little different this time. Not much, but just enough to be noticeable.

The 1996 version of Lola has a crop top and very pronounced breasts, whereas the 2021 version of Lola does not. The Tune Squad uniform is also different, being closer to a real basketball outfit than the original.

But not everyone is happy with the redesign. Men, mostly conservative men, have started making some pretty creepy comments online about it.





Lola Bunny, who has never been a real woman and is in fact a drawing of a bunny, was definitely more overtly sexualized in the 90s.

Her first scene features her walking in on sultry saxophone music.





Space Jam: A New Legacy's director, Malcolm D. Lee, says the revision of Lola was to force more focus onto her as a boon for the team rather than a sexualized piece of meat.

"This is 2021. It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters," he said, "a.k.a. the team's best non-LeBron player."





Raising the point that bunnies also don't usually play basketball or talk or wear hair elastics around their ears seems moot, if the discourse is going to revolve around said bunny's chest.

Which, FYI, female rabbits are called does and males are called bucks, like deer. Rabbit does have ten nipples, extending from their thoracic to the inguinal region.

Lola's crop top was flashing at least four of her "breasts." It's surprising conservatives are such staunch advocates of freeing the nipple.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
