Old-ish news but MAGA Twitters response has started a second wave of discourse.

I wouldnt doubt 100 years from now people learn that the CIA was heavily involved in SJWs removing Native Americans from sports teams...butter containers and eventually text books.

I remember being young and my mom showing what her and her friends would do as kids. They would cut the box she is holding on the sides and on top, and then cut her knees off and tape them behind the box. You could then fold the box down and it would look you were exposing her boobs. As I type this, I realize I was probably too young the first time she showed me that.

They haven't used that logo in a couple of years. They replaced it with just her face. This particular one was pretty racist. The one with the face was less so. Either way for a group of people who call everyone snowflakes white MAGA hat types sure seem to get butthurr over really stupid shit.

I still have containers that look exactly like that, they didn't phase it out.

Pretty sure they're just trying to avoid controversy, although the change is controversial in itself

Companies should just stop using people as logos/mascots altogether

They had that logo for almost 100 years, there was no reason for them to remove it, especially when the new box is exactly the same thing but with the woman removed.

It's sort of like the Quaker Oats Quaker. Imagine if they removed him. Interestingly, actual Quakers have had problems with the Quaker Oats company for advertising that they believe promoted violence.

What an offensive stereotype jfc, portraying an entire people as not being able to stand up for themselves and needing white Americans to stand up for their supposed outrages.
