Bet you didn’t think M&Ms were pushing intolerance but they were, they’ve been changed (you are seeing the changes right now on the screen). The green M&M (you will notice) is no longer wearing SEXY boots, now she’s wearing sensible sneakers, why the change? Well, according to M&Ms, quote: “we all win when we see more women in leading roles”, because leading women do not wear sexy boots; leading women wear frumpy shoes, the frumpier the better, that’s the rule… The other big change is that the brown M&M has quote: “transitioned” from high stilettos to lower blocks heels… Also less sexy (that’s progress!)… M&Ms will not be satisfied until every cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous, until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them, that’s the goal; when you are totally turned off, we have achieved equity: they’ve won. Meanwhile in a nod to the burgeoning wellness movement, the orange M&M will quote: “acknowledge and embrace his anxiety”, and, actually, if you look at him the orange M&M does appear very anxious… Maybe he doesn’t like all the ugly new shoes he sees around! maybe he LIKES the sexy boots! maybe the orange M&M is a secret sexist himself!
