"With the launch of their rainbow cereal covered in edible glitter. "Because you don't fit in a box". Is it the end for Kelloggs? " Go woke or go broke... | |||
"Do you want to go back to the old days when Dr Kellogg made cornflakes to stop people wanking? " Doubt they were in the UK then.... | |||
When i see this kind of product on open sale I feel society accepts me and mine as much as those who never find thier inner self in conflict with societies conventions.
It is the default position of queer political activists to be progressive, provocative and yes, "woke", to apply the pressure required to resist the tendency of conservative (small c) orthodoxy to want to legislate us out if existence or back into the closet.
Rights hard won are easily lost by the stroke of a pen and should moaning about chucking a bone our way rise to suffient levels to drown the business value i would consider that a canary expiring in the coal mine of queer-friendly culture. | |||
"With the launch of their rainbow cereal covered in edible glitter. "Because you don't fit in a box". Is it the end for Kelloggs? " Depends how many people, like you, are outraged enough by them not being racist/homophobic, to stop buying their products. | |||

"it's more likely the end to anti-woke " Hopefully it ends the constant anti-woke threads from the OP. Just to highlight what the OP is outraged about: Woke: adjective: "alert to injustice in society, especially racism." | |||
"Brands engaging in pride-washing may be distasteful to some, including a section of the queer community who also find it crass/cynical but it is a least a sign that we're both visible and accepted enough to be worth applying the marketing crowbars to our wallets. In that respect, they're going "woke" on a purely commercial level and on a short term basis, so it's hardly the end of the company. It's also a limited edition, so if it causes offense, well, eat weetabix until pride season ends, eh?

I’ve long been bothered about children’s, indeed almost all, cereals, yes.
So when such brands try and come across as holier than thou, it’s bothersome. "So it's marketing? Shit cereals have been around for years but it only upsets you when the marketing tactics aren't to your taste?

As to crap cereals, kids cereals have been crap for decades - t'was ever thus. The new bit is that marketers have noticed that a section of the youth market is engaging with broad spectrum inclusive sexuality, openly and freely enough to be worth identity aligned products.
Queer kids aren't afraid to show thier colours, nor seek out icons of identity. This very much differs to my youth under the information blackout of section 28 and threat of violence from institutional or societal homophobia. | |||

So you are bothered about shit cereal, aimed at children?
I’ve long been bothered about children’s, indeed almost all, cereals, yes.
So when such brands try and come across as holier than thou, it’s bothersome.
Interesting how you associate not being a homophobe "holier than thou"
For most people, it's just normal.
And the Nazis were animal lovers.
And... We're Godwin'd!
As to crap cereals, kids cereals have been crap for decades - t'was ever thus. The new bit is that marketers have noticed that a section of the youth market is engaging with broad spectrum inclusive sexuality, openly and freely enough to be worth identity aligned products.
Queer kids aren't afraid to show thier colours, nor seek out icons of identity. This very much differs to my youth under the information blackout of section 28 and threat of violence from institutional or societal homophobia.
Blimey, it’s almost as if there’s no middle ground where immoral capitalism could stop virtue signalling and the rest of us could all bump along."Its like BLM...but for the queer community | |||

"Brands engaging in pride-washing may be distasteful to some, including a section of the queer community who also find it crass/cynical but it is a least a sign that we're both visible and accepted enough to be worth applying the marketing crowbars to our wallets.

When i see this kind of product on open sale I feel society accepts me and mine as much as those who never find thier inner self in conflict with societies conventions.
It is the default position of queer political activists to be progressive, provocative and yes, "woke", to apply the pressure required to resist the tendency of conservative (small c) orthodoxy to want to legislate us out if existence or back into the closet.

"Brands engaging in pride-washing may be distasteful to some, including a section of the queer community who also find it crass/cynical but it is a least a sign that we're both visible and accepted enough to be worth applying the marketing crowbars to our wallets. In that respect, they're going "woke" on a purely commercial level and on a short term basis, so it's hardly the end of the company. It's also a limited edition, so if it causes offense, well, eat weetabix until pride season ends, eh?
When i see this kind of product on open sale I feel society accepts me and mine as much as those who never find thier inner self in conflict with societies conventions.
It is the default position of queer political activists to be progressive, provocative and yes, "woke", to apply the pressure required to resist the tendency of conservative (small c) orthodoxy to want to legislate us out if existence or back into the closet.
Rights hard won are easily lost by the stroke of a pen and should moaning about chucking a bone our way rise to suffient levels to drown the business value i would consider that a canary expiring in the coal mine of queer-friendly culture.
Wouldn’t be surprised if as you say a section of the queer community do find it distasteful: Imagine a brand shovelling this sort of crap down kids throats in the name of Pride:
“Cereal Flours [Wheat, Whole Wheat, Maize, Rice, Oat] , Sugar , Glucose-Fructose Syrup , Iodised Salt [Salt, Potassium Iodate] , Colours (Copper Complexes of Chlorophyllins, Curcumin, Paprika Extract) , Elderberry Extract , Rap*seed Oil , Vitamin Premix [Vitamin C, Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12] , Flavouring , Blackcurrant Concentrate .”

So you are bothered about shit cereal, aimed at children?
I’ve long been bothered about children’s, indeed almost all, cereals, yes.
So when such brands try and come across as holier than thou, it’s bothersome.
Interesting how you associate not being a homophobe "holier than thou"
For most people, it's just normal.
And the Nazis were animal lovers.
And... We're Godwin'd!
As to crap cereals, kids cereals have been crap for decades - t'was ever thus. The new bit is that marketers have noticed that a section of the youth market is engaging with broad spectrum inclusive sexuality, openly and freely enough to be worth identity aligned products.
Queer kids aren't afraid to show thier colours, nor seek out icons of identity. This very much differs to my youth under the information blackout of section 28 and threat of violence from institutional or societal homophobia.
Blimey, it’s almost as if there’s no middle ground where immoral capitalism could stop virtue signalling and the rest of us could all bump along.

"Charitable people like me are extremely bothered about gullible fools being taken in by trendy marketing, thinking that giving Kellogg’s more money is doing anything for any community. Laughably naive really." If you're feeling charitable, I'd suggest an act if allyship; perhaps a donation to an lgbt oriented charity?
Your point otherwise echos an objection some queer folk have about the adoption of the rainbow for commercial gain without directly benefitting the movement - hence the cynicism. Where were kellogs/adidas/aviva/etc when we really needed them to stand up in the hard times?
I prefer to be of the opinion that there's no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to stunts like this. Occasionally picking up some lgbt tat is a form of participation in my community; I know what's going on, but I see tangential value in it.
It also continues to normalise our presence to, and occupy the headspace of, those who would see us relegated to second class citizens due to retrograde yearning for a rose-tinted past where nothing challenged particular idea of "how things should be".
Often, when people moan about "woke", they're partly expressing a feeling of dissatisfaction about the status quo visibly evolving in a direction that equalises priveledges.
This perception resolves as "persecution" in zero-sum thinking, when it's actually nothing of the sort. All they've lost is the ability to publicly "other" and silence someone based on thier own discomfort with changing mores. | |||

"Charitable people like me are extremely bothered about gullible fools being taken in by trendy marketing, thinking that giving Kellogg’s more money is doing anything for any community. Laughably naive really. If you're feeling charitable, I'd suggest an act if allyship; perhaps a donation to an lgbt oriented charity?
Your point otherwise echos an objection some queer folk have about the adoption of the rainbow for commercial gain without directly benefitting the movement - hence the cynicism. Where were kellogs/adidas/aviva/etc when we really needed them to stand up in the hard times?
I prefer to be of the opinion that there's no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to stunts like this. Occasionally picking up some lgbt tat is a form of participation in my community; I know what's going on, but I see tangential value in it.
It also continues to normalise our presence to, and occupy the headspace of, those who would see us relegated to second class citizens due to retrograde yearning for a rose-tinted past where nothing challenged particular idea of "how things should be".
Often, when people moan about "woke", they're partly expressing a feeling of dissatisfaction about the status quo visibly evolving in a direction that equalises priveledges.
This perception resolves as "persecution" in zero-sum thinking, when it's actually nothing of the sort. All they've lost is the ability to publicly "other" and silence someone based on thier own discomfort with changing mores. "A couple of good points, but I’d like to see some actual examples of equalising privileges that’s annoying anyone - anti woke frustration is more likely due to insincere in your face corporate virtue signalling. Meretricious persiflage. | |||
