New design of M&Ms · 6:21am Jan 22nd, 2022
The changes that I noticed here are the colour of their arms and legs, Green wearing sneakers instead of go-go boots, Brown wearing block heels instead of stilettos, and the addition of shoelaces.
Mars, Inc. claimed that the changes of the characters' designs and personalities are made in order to be more inclusive and representative of their consumers. And people are getting mad over this, to the point of accusing them of virtue signaling.
New designs look pretty good, but I get why people are mad.
To me if a company wants to change that's fine and dandy, but don't cite the change as trying to be inclusive or as a big favor to minorities. Change because you want to change, not because of the people
