In reply to the discussion: The female M&M is totally sexualized. The males are not. [View all]TLM
(6,761 posts)82. Really??? Green M&M is not ashamed of her ROUND shape!!!
Odd, why not celebrate the fact that green M&M is not ashamed of her ROUND shape? Green seems to me to be the poster candy for body acceptance. She is proud and empowered and comfortable with her curve not like those fake airbrushed anorexic twizzlers.
How exactly does one denote GENDER in a sexless candy cartoon icon that has no genitalia, without some level of sexualized imagery? I mean its not like that slapped a big set of boobs on her or gave her a candy toe... she has bigger lips and slightly differently shaped eyes.
On a more serious note...
I suspect that if Green M&M was exactly the same as the other M&Ms, save for having a female voice, someone would be complaining about the demonization of femininity by the hatemongers at M&M. Because somebody is just looking for attention by complaining about something asinine.
For fucks sake, how long before we see these idiots arguing that healthy attractive people have to be forced to gain weight and ugly up so that fat ugly people dont have their self-esteem threatened?
"Whaaa yesterday in the park I saw some healthy attractive person jogging now I'm aware I'm fat and unpleasant looking. Those good looking people are promoting an unrealistic standard, and should have to wear berkas, so I can continue to delude myself into thinking a 64 inch waistline is sexy."

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?
