The recent push to rebrand corporate logos to be more inclusive has, for the most part, been a good thing. Making Barbie more body-positive? Great. Renaming Aunt Jemima syrup? About damn time. Yet in brands’ fervent quest to capture youth audiences and capture the woke zeitgeist, they may be going just a little bit too far. Case in point: the slut-shaming of the green M&M.EJ Dickson for ROLLING STONE

We’re all endlessly broadcasting our lives to the world through social media. Showcasing every aspect, from the products we buy, to the people we spend time with, to where and what we eat.
