because, back then, it was done for LAUGHS. and even then, I never found that kind of stuff funny, more creepy. THESE days, it wouldn't be allowed to be done for laughs. Lola would be erased, and Bugs would become the new Lola....and spouting all kind of nonsense...while LEGITEMATLY trying to get in bed with Fudd.
THAT is the difference.
and i'm shocked this even needs to be pointed out these days.
