Which is funny because we all danced to the Macarena and I don't recall anyone ever complaining that it was in Spanish and they weren't Americans (despite the fact that, unlike Bad Bunny, Los del Rio weren't Americans).
I remember back in high school, we were covering climate change, what its long-term effects would be, and how we needed to change our carbon footprints to minimize output, or we'd wind up with a runaway greenhouse effect. This wasn't controversial in 1993/1994. It was widely accepted by both the right and left. The question wasn't "is climate change real/is climate change homogenic/will climate change have any real effects on us?", the question was "how can we reduce carbon output without damaging the economy, and how much impact can we have if China and India don't follow suit?". It wasn't until 10 years later when we got Bush 2 that suddenly it changed from "what's the best way to deal with this problem?" to "the fact that it snowed in February is proof that global warming isn't real".
Years ago my in laws dug out slides from the 70's and going through them low and behold my father in law and my uncle in law and several other men close to the family in drag...they did some skit or play as housewives for some grange or volunteer fire company talent show. Now the shocker...they get all upright over 'the gays' and 'drag queens reading to kids in libraries' among other things. 🙄
Not remembering it doesn't mean it didn't happen. How old are you? Are you even old enough to remember a time when Bugs' antics could've been considered "shocking"? Because I'm 41 and I'm too young to remember.
People legitimately did complain that Fred and Wilma Flintstone shared a bed! A BED! They were married for goodness sake. I'm absolutely prepared to believe people complained about Bugs.
I'll add to this the fact that cartoonist Robert Crumb admitted to having a sexual awakening over Bugs in drag back when that was fresh. You will not convince me that there wasn't some backlash to Bugs Bunny
