https://www.cbsnews.com/news/m-m-characters-redesigned-progressive-world/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=148825300

M&M's iconic characters six different colored "lentils," each with their own personality have gotten a modern makeover for a "more dynamic, progressive world," Mars said Thursday. The redesign is focused on creating a sense of belonging and community, as well as spotlighting the character's "personalities, rather than their gender."

The most notable changes include the green M&M's redesign, which will exchange the white heeled go-go boots she was given in 1997 for "cool, laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence." Mars had received criticism for the green M&M's sexy characterization. The green M&M will also be "better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots."

The green M&M and the brown M&M will have a more friendly relationship, showcasing a "force supporting women." The two characters' dynamic will have them "together throwing shine and not shade," the company said. The two characters have sometimes been at odds in advertisements, but they have also been seen as friends or more than friends in others, like this viral tweet from 2015 showing the two holding hands on a beach.

I often think how can we generalize this age we live in...

Obviously, society is a pendulum and we'll swing back and forth along the spectrum.

But how can we define this current moment in the swing's path?

People being upset about this is hilarious. No this isnt you fighting against progressives going too far. Its literally you upset that a cartoon piece of candy wont act like a seductress anymore. Those people need to get a grip (like the dude who mentioned blow pops or whatever in the tweetwho the fuck thinks of blow pops as sexual?)

Nothing about "laid back sneakers" suggests more confidence than high heeled boots.

But I didn't even remember the green one. I thought the brown one was supposed to be the "sexy" M&M.

Good. It was always weird how M&M's are promoting M&M's even though they are M&M's. Fictional characters cannot consent to being sexualized. When a real woman looks and acts sexy, it's fine because she is free to do so. When a fictional character does it it's wrong because she didn't have a choice.

"The green ones make you horny" was a really stupid myth growing up, but, as much as I hate advertising as a whole, I thought it was clever that when they anthropomorphized the M&Ms they made the green one "sexy".

I often wonder which side the people who say things like our consumer culture should be more in tune with "diversity" really think they're on here...

do the people who want to lower a green M&M character's shoe heels really think they're the unique rebels in todays world?

I think I saw the Orange M&M in the pretzel ad, but that was like 10 years ago...
