More reason to take things with a pinch of salt. It's all just media pantomime. We're being played it would seem.
It is very frequently the Murdoch press that promotes these divisive nothings, very often first appearing in its tabloids such as The New York Post, The Sun etc and then recirculated in its other papers and news outlets to pass it off as ‘news’ to pad out a lack of actual content.

Aunt Jemima offends you?? Get a life and stop getting offended over nothing.
Sure. But if the company that makes it decides they can make more money by changing the brand, good for them. The people complaining about the rebranding generally aren’t really soooo attached to the Aunt Jemima character that it really affects them. If people are that attached to a fictional character on a cake mix, they should probably get that checked.

When a person starts finding a reason to be offended by the gender of a plastic potato or a brand name, then they need medication not adulation.
In the good old days, they'd have been sectioned not trending on Twitter (the cesspit safe space for attention seeking nobodies).
Indeed. It’s best to just ignore this nonsense rather than giving it airtime. (Though in the case of PotatoHead, Hasbro rebranded the brand name to introduce additional characters but retained the Mr and Mrs PotatoHead characters so there is also some misinformation involved here.)
Are some companies jumping on the ‘woke’ bandwagon? Sure. Does it actually affect the people complaining about it? No.
taking a close look at the operation of the jws religion you can observe technics of brainwashing orchestrated through the literature the wts publishes for its members such as the watchtower .. everything these men have done had calculating agendas, which were to firstly attract attention to the literature they published, to cultivate power toward themselves, to intentionally take control over people's lives and of course draw in money.. brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques.
brainwashing is said to reduce its subjects' ability to think critically or independently,[1] to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds,[2] as well as to change their attitudes, values and beliefs.

I am soo sick of the “ woke “ generation. Just go awayyyyy.
Oh the irony. Sounds like you want everyone to just do the ‘reasonable’ thing and like all the things you like. 😂
Other than choosing to be riled up by a mixture of real and imagined ‘woke’ complaints found in the media, very little of what the ‘woke’ crowd says or does actually affects you in any way.

these cartoons have been labeled by the venerable new york times newspaper as offensive.

Oh, a personal attack. What a surprise. But try to be cleverer please.
Funny how attacking a cartoon character is a global tragedy but attacking actual people is fine. 🤦♂️

Jeffro sees no real evidence of anything really happening here. It’s just “nonsense” .
There you go manufacturing my position again. But I actually said that both sides are trivial divisive nonsense. Obviously this includes the assessment of harmless tropes as ‘offensive’. A cartoon from the 1950s, that you otherwise rarely think about, falling out of popularity in itself is indeed trivial. It is the divisive nonsense itself that is harmful.
It is telling that a single paywalled opinion piece in one newspaper is trumpeted worldwide by the Murdoch press though.

In our congregation, our elder used to conduct a weekly session to understand the Pure Worship (Ezekiel) book, every Saturday, which sometimes used to run to 3 hrs! Ones who didn't attend were even counseled.
Material to help people understand the Pure Worship book is available here.

There a few things in that batch of announcements suggesting JWs are increasingly ignoring ‘theocratic direction’. A fairly predictable outcome of less direct coercion at ‘meetings’, hopefully a trend that will continue.
