Remember that episode of courage the cowardly dog where a furry bunny runs away from abusive dog dude to be with her lesbian cat lover
because that is all you need to remember
This episode is actually what got Courage taken off the air because a coalition of moms thought it carried lesbian symbolism and they threatened to sue the network if the show wasn’t removed from the air.
Many people at Cartoon Network cite Courage as their favourite show during its run and say that they would not have taken it off, had they had a real choice.
So the show ran the remaining episodes and was not renewed for another season.
This is incorrect. Or, at least from what I researched, it is.
The reasons I saw were that the show finished its contract of 4 seasons and 13 episodes, it had too much dark humor (like invader zim) and scared kids (it scared the fuck outta me, especially that episode with the mummy and the slab), or it wasn’t as popular as it seemed and lost money.
I saw nothing about these “lesbian lovers” and the parents threatening to sue the channel. Also, this episode, titled “the Mask”, was in season 2 while the whole show lasted 4 seasons.
This information is incorrect. Please do not use misinformation to fight homophobic discrimination. We already have enough of that to make up bullshit to add onto it and make people angry for no reason.
