What's the craziest or funniest Wikipedia outline you've seen?
The sexualization and desexualization of M&M ladies were both very successful marketing schemes. How often do you get prime time Fox News Bros yelling about M&Ms, left leaning news outlets and famous and non famous folks on every social media platform making fun of the Fox News Bros who are so upset about the less sexy M&M ladies? So much free marketing, just by putting them in more comfortable shoes.
Might be a free win for the company, which of course only cares about profit, but I think it's still somewhat important development of discourse as it is the dismounting of sexism
"Hello I'm a man and the public objectification of women as per se sexual objects in popculture is not relevant. Am I right guys hahaha?"
That's what you took from this post?
I personally think cartoon characters in high heels is literally worse than genocide, let alone child slavery
Well, kinda, yeah. Discoursive power is a thing and brings sorrow. The recent change (also called "wokeness") that adresses the reproduction of sexism is accordingly important.
As I understood that post, it redicules said change in discourse. So it contains this discoursive element of men making fun of feminism, or at least applying some whataboutism, as seen my fellow responder, doesn't it?
And I mean that, maybe I'm wrong. I'm open to criticism.
