https://jezebel.com/rip-thotty-green-m-m-lady-1848393424In what feels to be a perfectly American consolation prize for the fact that Congress has failed to pass voting rights legislation, Mars has redesigned the M&s characters for a more dynamic, progressive world, according to CBS News. So now, in addition to losing suffrage, we will also be losing our favorite bimbo icon: the hot green lady M&M.
Its nearly impossible to imagine our sexy candy-coated sister floating adrift without her thot energy. It feels as though the green M&M, with her fake lashes and hoe heels, wanted just one thing in this world and that was to f^ck.
I miss when she had a superiority complex. I miss when she bossed the other imbeciles around because she was more cunning and objectively hot than they could ever be. It seems, in reality, that the other M&Ms were jealous of her pretty privilege and that Mars has punished her for her God-given assets, so I would just like to inquire: What sort of message does that really send? That the girlies cant be horny? That we cant wear go-go boots to work? Take away our masc-thot and see what happens. The bimbos will rise, once more, removing every new green M&M from candy wrappers across the world, until the nice, professional version of candy Pam Anderson ceases to exist.
Meanwhile, the lady M&Ms are now getting along to show a force supporting women as they throw shine and not shade though we all know the brown M&M is just using girlboss energy as a facade for her own internalized misogyny. Her heels are now kitten heel professional length, because she wants to keep up with the boys as they scurry to the conference room.

I have no words... no dog in this fight. But I think it is okay for some woman to be sexy. That does not make them automatically bad feminist icons.

(12,444 posts)9. they took away Brown M&M's stilettos and gave her shorter heel clogs...
And every character now has "skin tone" to match the color of the candy... blue, green, red...
I'll reserve comment.

At the most I can see just not caring and having no interest. But to get angry over it ?

(29,149 posts)12. are people angry? This essay doesn't really strike me as angry, but
maybe there's fiercer controversy about it in other corners of the world and I just haven't come across it.

I remember tales bordering on urban legend status that green M&Ms had an aphrodisiac effect. This predates the cartoon commercials. Im convinced the ad execs drew on this for inspiration.

An M&M is a piece of candy.

Coincidence?
