    In addition to the visual changes, the characters' personalities were also updated. Ms. Green, known for her self-awareness and outgoing nature, now has a more inclusive and friendly demeanor. The redesign aimed to emphasize her confidence without the previous overt focus on femininity and sexuality, which had been a point of contention among audiences. This change was part of a broader effort to reduce the sexualization of female mascots and promote a more progressive representation.

    Huh.

    I think they are referring more to the (really fucking stupid) backlash against those changes by the Fox News crowd.

    They tried to make it a culture war thing. The alleged "sexiness" of a cartoon M&M being reduced. They flipped their shit.

    I dunno if a beauty salon was maybe the best setting to use for your ad, Kiwibank.

    Considering I've never heard of Kiwibank until now, the advertising is working.

    Maybe just not working as they intended...
