8. Maybe removing the man is symbolic for "Wokism"

When you really look at it, it’s mostly fear of change in any way. Apparently corporations have to stay stagnant and static. No one ever considered that branding itself changes over time, and many logos have changed over time for better or worse. And in terms of designs, the trend is to move away from images (think clip art), to something cleaner (supposedly).

Yes it’s ridiculous, but it’s (in broader terms), the flip side of getting worked up over a woman doing a jeans ad with a play on the word ‘jeans’ (yes I get the whole blue eye blonde hair part with it).

As Obama would put it, it’s silly season. I’m not going to bother siderism this, because with the jeans ad, there was no real outrage at first by the left, until the right manufactured a fake outrage. But still, I bring it up to illustrate how absurd the culture war has become. It’s honestly just tiresome.
