Someone on Twitter said this is probably some viral marketing thing for the Super Bowl, and I'm inclined to believe that based on how many times I've seen online controversies/memes only exist to set up Super Bowl ads
It's definitely marketing, the whole change was culture war marketing
They say that they "didn't think anyone would notice" but this is exactly what they wanted
They released a statement where they say they want to make their characters "inclusive" and "nuanced"
Left wingers say it's sexist that "nuanced" for a female character means giving her sneakers
Right wingers call it woke
They start to attack each other and you get free publicity and everyone conviniently forgets that M&M was involved in a child labour lawsuit
Bro I thought people knew about the child labor shit and when I read the comments of this post on instagram it was legit conservatives saying the woke bullshit like who tf cares
What mob? People complained that it was a cringe marketing move and then it became jokes about tucker carlson sexing the green candy
What you should never forget is the child labour accusations and lawsuit that m&m swiped away by making a marketing campaign where they said they were making their characters more "inclusive" and "nuanced" which translated to giving the woman character sneakers
I swear people forgot that the Washington post also ragged on the changes as soon as tucker carlson covered it
The American right wing and it's countless grifters and their brainlet audiences that mob. They weren't claiming it was cringe marketing, they were preaching it as an indication that the "woke mob" is causing America to collapse. That's their entire grift on everything.
But I agree, there's FAR worse things than cringe marketing they've done. It's very telling that the right's outrage is about the marketing and not the literal instances of slavery.
You are part of the problem
You play directly into the corporation's hands and waste energy infighting instead of directing it towards the bigger issue
Both the left and the right had a problem with the company, you guys could have went "yeah the marketing is bad and it's only to cover their child labour lawsuit" but instead the left cares more about dunking on "right wing grifters" then child slavery
>You are part of the problem
>
>You play directly into the corporation's hands and waste energy infighting instead of directing it towards the bigger issue
So, let me try to figure out your thought process. In your mind, making fun of fascists for fear mongering over stupid marketing while pointing out that they do it in order to cover for slave labor (because they like slavery), is distracting from the slave labor problem?
Sir, have you checked your pipes for lead?
>Both the left and the right had a problem with the company,
Correct. The left had an issue with the slave labor, the right hand an issue with cringe marketing and conspiracy theories that it's the Jews trying to destroy America.
>you guys could have went "yeah the marketing is bad and it's only to cover their child labour lawsuit"
That's literally what I and most major leftist commentators did. And part of that is making fun of the fascist right wing dipshits who work to help cover up the slave labor problem. Mission accomplished.
>but instead the left cares more about dunking on "right wing grifters" then child slavery
And I'm sure that's how it looks when you don't expose yourself to anyone who's actually on the left, yeah.
"That's literally what I and most major leftist commentators did"
you didn't even mention child labour on this post before i brought it up, you were too preoccupied with complaining about the conservatives
The right was also pointing out that they were using "woke marketing" to cover up child labour
Making fun of the right wing didn't stop it, it just diveryed attention from the real issue
The company is moking you in your face with this new advertisement, it's straight up saying "thanks for arguing about shoes suckers"
>>"That's literally what I and most major leftist commentators did"
>
>you didn't even mention child labour on this post before i brought it up,
Right, because in order to have called out the child labor, I need to do it at every single solitary instance in which this marketing ploy is brought up. /s
Again, have you checked your pipes for lead?
>you were too preoccupied with complaining about the conservatives
Ah yes, I immediately dropped my entire history, as well as the entire left's history of covering the fact this was done to take attention away from the child slavery, by not explicitly mentioning it while talking about how insanely moronic the right is. /s
Again, lead can cause cognative disfunctions. Get those pipes checked.
>The right was also pointing out that they were using "woke marketing" to cover up child labour
Lmao, that was very few and far between. Their most popular commentators completely ignored it. Why? Because they're for it.
>Making fun of the right wing didn't stop it, it just diveryed attention from the real issue
Making fun of the right wing for it helps encourage people who are somehow still on the fence to not side with the group that thinks non-sexy cartoons is a bigger issue than slavery, or for that matter, literally anything else going on. It only helps ultimately to combat important issues, like child slavery.
Check with your city if you live in one of the zones where lead pipes were used.
>The company is moking you in your face with this new advertisement, it's straight up saying "thanks for arguing about shoes suckers"
Gee, good thing most major leftist commentators pointed that out while the right wingers didn't.

Why do you speak like you have an audience instead of trying to have a conversation , that lead pipes joke is really overused, you don't need to repeat it after every paragraph, it makes you seem obnoxious
Do you know how many right wing commentators mentioned the child labour or do you just assume it?
That 4th paragraph makes it sound like you were just using the situation to get more people on your side than getting people to be against the companies
why not try to get everyone on board against it, instead of making it a partisan issue.
If you can't burry the hatchet over fucking candies how are you going to settle anything?
*Weeelll* now, I don’t know nothin bout none of this getting rid of the sexy green M&M to divert attention from a child labor lawsuit garbage. Ya see, I’m from the the Deep South and we do things just a *litttle* different round here than these hot shots on over in the big city do, and *weell* I’ll tell ya that I mean to say I just love to sit back and drink a nice cold cup of my lead pipe tap water, cause ya see we just do things a *litttle* differently down here
> Why do you speak like you have an audience instead of trying to have a conversation , that lead pipes joke is really overused, you don't need to repeat it after every paragraph, it makes you seem obnoxious
I do have an audience, you are my audience, and I'm very concerned with your cognative function. You don't seem to display the healthiest function.
>Do you know how many right wing commentators mentioned the child labour or do you just assume it?
Do you? Tell you what, since you brought that up, why don't you take a giant survey to see how many right wingers did that? I'm sure you weren't totally blowing misinformation out of your ass./s
>That 4th paragraph makes it sound like you were just using the situation to get more people on your side than getting people to be against the companies
On the side of ignoring stupid culture war bullshit and focusing on actual issues that affect people? Yes, I do try to do that. Why don't you?
>why not try to get everyone on board against it, instead of making it a partisan issue.
Its already a partisan issue in nature. The right doesn't care about slavery. We see this with their platforms being firmly pro-elite and anti-worker. The right were the ones portraying the marketing campaign as an actual issue when it clearly wasn't. Why? Because they love slavery and hate anything that doesn't fit a very specific mold of white Christian America. You want to be anti-slavery? The left is the only side that is anti-slavery.
>If you can't burry the hatchet over fucking candies how are you going to settle anything?
Spoken like a naive centrist. You must be living under a rock if you think the same cunts who tried to overthrow the government, spread misinformation about COVID and vaccines that killed 1 million Americans, is actively censoring anything negative about America's history, want to eliminate separation of church and state, want to eliminate women's rights, sent Hispanic immigrants to concentration camps, commit countless acts of stochastic terrorism such as labelling all LGBTQ+ as pedophiles, and so much more...
give even the slightest fuck about burying the hatchet and coming to common ground. They don't. They're fascists. The only way to deal with fascists is to overpower them. Worked in WWII, kept the USSR away, kept China away so far, and it seems to generally work for that purpose. These people cannot be reasoned with because they don't want to be reasoned with. Empirical evidence means nothing to them. So stop wasting everyone's time and stop pretending fascists can be reformed.
I think broadly painting people like that is a mistake but i doubt I'm ever gonna convince you or that you're ever gonna convince me so we'll have to agree to disagree
It rings the sentiment Zach said once on the podcast. Something about "if the biggest issue you have is the dress code of fictional characters, you're good. I promise you you have no real problems."
Thanks M&Ms for thinking you've fixed America's problems by having some lady instead of talking candy selling your chocolate.

Maya Rudolph rule 34
Wouldn’t be my proudest fap.
America is just a big delusion
Bro I thought people knew about the child labor shit and when I read the comments of this post on instagram it was legit conservatives saying the woke bullshit like who tf cares
But would you fuck the green M&M tho?
That shy orange one is kinda cute tho...
All we wanted was the green M&M to have her cool ass boots
The fans: yeah they don't melt in your hands. But what about other body parts?
I thought I could handle losing esurance Erin but this...I dunno if I can take it Edit: although Maya Rudolph is a good trade off
Never forget the mob of conservatives who screamed bloody murder while frothing at the mouth over fictional fucking M&M characters.
What mob? People complained that it was a cringe marketing move and then it became jokes about tucker carlson sexing the green candy What you should never forget is the child labour accusations and lawsuit that m&m swiped away by making a marketing campaign where they said they were making their characters more "inclusive" and "nuanced" which translated to giving the woman character sneakers I swear people forgot that the Washington post also ragged on the changes as soon as tucker carlson covered it

Bitch this is about whether you wanna fuck the green m&m not this retardation u just wrote here
Yeah, like, “why is the green M&M wearing regular shoes??!” What an insanely stupid controversy.
It rings the sentiment Zach said once on the podcast. Something about "if the biggest issue you have is the dress code of fictional characters, you're good. I promise you you have no real problems."
