Imagine people watching Tucker Carlson complain about the M&M cartoons and agreeing with him.

Picture them, these feeble brained dipshits, nodding in vigorous agreement about how the cartoon M&Ms are being destroyed. Sitting on their couch, solemnly taking seriously the threat to their way of life posed by anthropomorphic M&Ms, angered by something that they’d never even thought about before they’d been told to get angry about it. Centring their emotions on this topic. Feeling that this is an Important Thing to Care About.

If you feel anything but disdain and pity for these people I’d like to know why.

So you're trying to tell me that you get just as horny at the M&M's as you did previously?

That would be ridiculous. There is no way those old oldies could stand up to the new girls now that purple is on the scene.

> Carlson declared that "M&M's will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous," and that when "you're totally turned off, we've achieved equity."

Who looks at M&M cartoons to be turned on? How are these people real?

I got to listen, yesterday, to a coworker describe in very unfamiliar terms that they were upset about a "noodle company" changing their product/a flavor of their product to no longer be named Oriental.

​

He did not buy the product, he did not use it (he didn't even know exactly what company, had just "heard about it"), yet somehow this was something to be angry about.

​

I remain confused how that changes the world for him.

What's it called now?

He didn't know...

Again, driving my wonder at why it mattered, or if it was even real, potentially just people "telling tales" online to insight anger.

It's Maruchan ramen. They changed "oriental" flavor to "soy sauce".

I’m so tired of this candy shaming, they didn’t even release the trans mnm yet

I don't feel much of anything for them. They jumped the shark a long time ago, and I am much happier just not reacting emotionally to any of them anymore. It is so much easier to just cut them off and invest my time in relationships that aren't toxic. Wife, kid, friends...I prefer to invest in people that share my values and aren't completely morally vapid.

The common wisdom on Reddit is that this is a build up for a Super Bowl advertisement.

I'd bet my left (pea)nut (M&M) on it.

😆 They're just trolling that tool Tucker at this point.

Exactly. It's all just viral marketing for the inevitable Superb Owl ad.

Seems more like they are conceding to his demands. I don't like that they are giving his commentary any consideration at all.

I don't like that they're giving him attention (even if not actually calling him out by name) but they're doing so in a way that just makes him look absurd and turns him into a punchline, while also turning any inevitable backlash or retort into free advertising.

By leaning into this, they also know the absurdity of the move will also be commented on my late night TV hosts, which just results in more free advertising.

I’d have put the heels back on her, then announced she was trans. Imagine Tucker’s face when he realized he’d been jerking it to trans-candy this entire time.

Even NPR was calling out Tucker's weird sexual angle with M&Ms yesterday.

Where are all the people who should be asking this man why he wants to fuck children's candy?

Can you imagine if Tucker Carlson was outraged by childhood malnutrition?

Bonezone420 t1_j5rejxx wrote

He was; in that it wasn't happening enough. The entire fox news crew was very outspoken about school lunches back when those were the hot button issue and their take was, as you could expect, that kids shouldn't eat lunch unless they could pay for it.

Boots to shoes is an outrage! They should have at least put Green in spike heels and nylons. How dare they threaten by my ability to sexualize candy. Get the torches and pitchforks. We've got to stop these Mars perverts. /s

So I can yank it to thousands of hours of incest porn but not candy? Welcome to America land of the free home of the brave…

In case you acrually are a bit discouraged by this, it's worth noting that this is surely a massive troll on the part of the M&Ms brand, leading up to a Superbowl ad (rather than some kind of attempt to cave to Carlson's ridiculous anti-M&M campaign).

I had hoped my sarcasm was inherent in my comment. Sorry. No, I think it’s hilarious how snowflakey the bad guys are about candy.

Somewhere there's a deviantART artist who's about to make a hefty sum for all the pornographic photos of the green m&m that will now come flooding in because of creepy reactionaries we're going to want to jerk off to it to own the libs.
