ESG points? Weird LGBTQers on staff? Other than that, I got nothing. This is stupid as f***.BigRobSA said:
I really don't understand wtf they're thinking.
It's candy. Nobody is sitting there, lamenting that their candy doesn't have a gay ass backstory.
It's all artificial, forced, and intentional. This wacky woke movement did not originate organically.BrazosDog02 said:
The wife clues me in to this garbage. She has actually be pretty irritated with the "strong woman" stuff they push. Her complaint is that the comics, movies, and now candy all talk and portray these strong women and how they can do everything. Furthermore, these same things often portray men and bumbling fools. I'd asked her jokingly "what? You don't think our daughter needs to be a strong independent woman?" She said yes, and she will be but we run a ranch and the fact is that weak men can't do it at all and strong men can't do it alone. The boys growing up need strong role models too that are rife with toxic masculinity so they don't grow up to be *******.
She's right. There is a huge push to punish real men and encourage chicks with wieners. It's a mess.

M&M's is launching woke 'all-female' packs to celebrate female empowerment and attempt to shake things up in a continued shift toward progressive branding.
Mars, M&M's parent company, debuted the feminist candy wrappers earlier this week, exclusively featuring the company's three female mascots: green, brown and the newly-introduced purple.
The all-female package - upside down, to show how powerful women have 'flipped the status quo' - will be the first time the brown and green M&Ms have been featured together since a viral tweet from 2015 sparked rumors they were a lesbian couple.
The tweet contained a picture of the two characters holding hands on the beach, posted just two days after the Supreme Court effectively legalized gay marriage.
In fact, a search for the two characters in the notorious fan fiction site Archive Of Our Own produces 11 different results. The green M&M supposedly posted the tweet herself, writing: 'It's rare Ms. Brown and I get to spend time together without some colorful characters barging in.'

Mars has shifted the M&M's brand in recent years multiple times in attempts to appear more progressive, with new CEO Poul Weihrauch looking to continue the trend.
They debuted 'Purple' - the first ever female peanut M&M spokescandy, who has been designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity and is 'quirky, confident and authentic'.
More than 10 million fans voted to add the color to the confectionary's current rainbow in May, beating aqua and pink.
Purple's arrival was announced with 'I'm Just Gonna Be Me,' a new promotional song and music video, which launched on Tuesday.
They just want to sell more candy. Although I wouldn't want to meet the women who run to the store to buy these packs.
Seriously, nobody buys candy because it represents who they are. The company knows that their candy is bought by fatties mostly. Many fatties don't have the self confidence to stand for anything. If they had the ability to control what they do they would lose weight and be attractive. They can't, so they embrace whatever makes them feel good, including feeling good because they accept abnormal people.

This, not that I buy M&M's on a regular basis, but sometimes get a hankering for the peanut ones. I vow to never purchase them again.duffelpud said:
They really should change the name from M&M's to LGBTQ's, or possibly S&M's.
Might as well be F-M's to me; I won't buy another bag.
