M&M’s ‘spokescandies’.... what does anyone have to say about it all?

@CountScrofula Exactly! I don't even know why this should be an issue! It's candy! lol

@Poppies M&M made their green candy mascot less "sexy" by slightly changing her design and claimed it was a sign of keeping up with a progressive world. Conservative media (particularly Tucker Carlson) famously overreacted claiming that the woke brigades are at it again and it was a brief controversy.

M&M now just announced they're retiring their spokescandies in apparent response to the controversy, which is probably just a stunt for a new ad campaign.

Or in other words, this is actually the stupidest time to be alive in human history.

@CountScrofula All I got from this is that Tucker Carlson used to futiously masturbate to the green m n m and is super depressed she's not "sexy" anymore.

@ChipmunkErnie It's about a company making a marketing decision. They conduct research and if they find out certain depictions are seen as not so popular they change it. What is generally seen as "cancel culture" are just voiced opinions that are easily spread through social media etc... and indicate a trend.
I find the argument funny that "woke" people have so much power to "cancel" things and people while in fact it's often just that more popular values within a society are favoured and companies are all about making money therefore follow these current trends and mindsets within a society.

@Annie13 It's more that corporations run from controversy and those who scream the loudest, from what I can see. As I see people and things "cancelled,I find it funny that people ignore the fact.

@ChipmunkErnie That's a good point but in order for things to turn into a controversy there must be at least a certain amount of doubt or criticism within broader society and in many cases a majority doesn't care while a group of people sees something as offensive and the group in favor of it is small as well.
I just don't think there is a black and white to it.
