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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.
Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

        Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

Apr 20, 2026
After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."
Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

        Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.
Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
