In reply to the discussion: The female M&M is totally sexualized. The males are not. [View all]MineralMan
(146,405 posts)18. First I've heard of this.
They all look sort of stereotyped. There's another female character, Miss Brown. I'd need to know more about how these characters are being used before drawing any conclusions. That one with the lampshade on it's head looks like an M&M partier. There's a sports guy. A "sexy" green girl. A serious, glasses-wearing brown one that is female in character.
I wonder if this is really sexualizing these candies or if it's just anthropomorphizing them.

Yeah. While she is straddling a pole in handcuffs. That's how I taught my daughter to be cool.

I disagree--the male M&Ms are ridiculously susceptible to Brown and Greens girl pheromones

Does anybody (besides my dad) ever complain that men in TV commercials are always morons?
