I don't think my bullshit padding posts have any influence on mass media and social culture

stupid asshole entitled fuckfaces online who do nothing but sit on their asses online and instigate this kind of mess

6/17/2020 10:38:24 PM

I am mad, but for unrelated reasons :3

and that's right I said online twice in the same sentence

I'm gonna need you to fight me IRL

6/17/2020 10:39:07 PM

but i mean, is your childhood ruined or something because the syrup you put on your pancakes has different packaging now?

6/17/2020 10:42:09 PM

I don't use that mess lol

Country Kitchen my ng

6/17/2020 10:42:30 PM

i think pancakes are pretty overrated

6/17/2020 10:42:57 PM

my fucking childhood isn't ruined, nobody's is

it's stupid

you can't deny that it's stupid

there is no logical argument for this change

it literally affected nobody

nobody in the world was upset about it except probably 1 person who decided that they were bored and would start some shit

it's a bunch of mess

the internet is retarded

the people on the internet are retarded

internet lives do not matter

6/17/2020 10:43:36 PM

it's free marketing

6/17/2020 10:47:07 PM

i agree, it's more of a marketing opportunity. makes the company look like they're doing a noble thing, pivoting at a point of societal pressure. kinda reeks of BS though. Maybe not the Land-O-Lakes girl though.

6/17/2020 10:49:35 PM

ok well I hadn't thought of that

on first thought, I was thinking it would ultimately make them lose business

I stopped buying artificially flavored syrup like 10 years ago, but I def avoided the aunt Jemima because it became something people used in racist jokes too much

My friends and I got super high once back in HS and decided to do a blind taste test between Mrs. Butterworth and Aunt Jamima. We all agreed that Mrs. Butterworth was more buttery, but then my friend’s brother whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything, I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it"
– "Yo, home to Bel-Air"

You went for the Fresh Prince in the second fucking sentence. That is the premature ejaculation of shitposts.

Well since all of these minorities are getting removed from product labels I guess all that will be left is white people (Mr. Clean, Brawny). So how long until everyone gets offended that there are no black people on labels?

6/18/2020 5:28:59 PM

this fuckin guy i swear

6/18/2020 5:31:18 PM

I'm offended by that Brawny guy's mustache.
I'm offended that Mr. Clean products imply that it takes a muscular build to clean house.

6/18/2020 5:39:34 PM

So I just looked it up. The 2020 Gerber baby is a black female. Does that make Gerber all inclusive, or prejudice towards women and black people?

6/18/2020 5:41:57 PM

^^ do you have a problem with the decision to discontinue the Aunt Jemima brand?

6/18/2020 6:38:16 PM

Brawny and Mr. Clean are LGBT icons.

6/18/2020 6:40:55 PM

B4C really nailing down his status as a horrible person.

So.

You like to look shit up.

Venture to the mirror and ask yourself why you're looking shit up like this.

If you don't see anything problematic, ask yourself "Is vanilla a flavor?" or is it "Nothing without anything added?"

Either way.

Fuck you.

You think your birthright makes you the "default human" and that anything else is an accessory.

6/18/2020 8:33:16 PM

I haven’t researched all the origins of every single brand that is changing or rebranding its logo. But reading just a little about Aunt Jemima and the Cream of Wheat guy make it pretty obvious that those had very racist origins. I can’t imagine defending it. The faux outrage over these companies acknowledging the racist history of their logos/mascots/etc is bizarre to me. Also...are people actually upset that a brand is changing its logo or name? People suddenly have a really strong attachment to a maple syrup name...

6/18/2020 9:00:14 PM

It's almost as if they're not just names.

6/18/2020 9:49:38 PM

It's NOT maple syrup!

Apparently they tweet this article a few hours before they announced they were getting rid of Aunt Jemima.

6/19/2020 2:37:32 AM

I'm just waiting for the one company to completely misread the crowd and come out with a super racist logo

Not at all. I was just responding to Mr. Country's post about white product mascots.

Do I think it's an attention grab on the part of Mr. Quaker? Sure. I'm honestly surprised it has taken them this long to discontinue it.

6/19/2020 7:51:23 AM

6/19/2020 10:58:21 AM

^Literally no one cares. It's not even real maple syrup. It is surprising because it's not even remotely racist...but it's the big thing now to pander to whole BLM movement.

6/21/2020 11:14:04 PM

How is it pandering? How is the representation of a black woman whose origin is from a minstrel show that depicted the subjugation of blacks as simple minded house servants not even remotely racist?
