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 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.
