That's not true. They won't lose 50% of the market and in fact, they'll likely gain some market share.

Because they know the masses don't give a shite and that it won't hurt cookie sales.

And this commercial. First of all, it's not even aired in an American market and secondly, I wouldn't have known of it's existence had it not been posted on this board.

It doesn't matter. We are no longer the desired customer. Stakeholder capitalism.

Some asian market. The one I saw was in subtitles and the cast was asian. But no matter, if it were to air here, the masses wouldn't give a shite and oreos of all flavors would continue to sell to the American phaddies.

Nah, I don’t think that’s the case. The subtitles were not an addition.

This is wrong and they should be terminated.

Wasting money on this type of advertising waters down my dividend checks and the stock prices. (I do actually own some Mondelez Int'l. stock)


Only way it makes sense is if they know the government is going to nationalize industry and they are fighting with each other over oligarch status.

Just leave the Oreos on the grocery store shelf. You’ll be better for it in more ways than one.

They do this because they can. Those who they are catering to may be the minority, but they are loud, and the majority either doesn’t care enough to change their purchasing practices or they are influenced by the vocal minority (not wanting to have anyone think they are racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc) so that they go along.

Companies do this because it (usually) makes financial sense for them to do it.

This is a pretty good summation but I think it mostly has to do with the emboldened parts.

Conservatives want so badly for people to care about this shite, especially other conservatives and by and large, they just won't.

Nabisco or whoever the parent company is knows what it's doing. There's no go woke go broke with any of this shite.

Yes you are. You know exactly what I mean. Their proper place is on the outer edges of society. Not normalized, etc.

What you really hoped I would say is that I don't want queers to have any rights.

No they don't. They want you fricking children to not care about this shite and put this foolishness behind.

You people are exhausting. frick your pronouns and faux social justice to feel better about yourself.

Conservatives aren't beating a dead horse on Wokeness.

As of yet, this is not true for the VAST majority on The Right. I wish it was, but it isn't.

Regardless of how much many, even here, complain about the things these woke arse corporations do, almost none of them put for any effort to stop funding them. Complaining about them does nothing.

Oh...there will be a few days of scathing commentary on this ad and how Oreo (NABISCO in this case) is woke as frick, but by next week almost none of the people complaining will stop buying Oreos or NABISCO products.

What these companies are doing is eating their cake and having it too, because The Right refuses to make them pay for these actions. They get to virtue signal to The Left with this stuff and do so knowing it costs them nothing, because The Right will not en masse change their buying habits.
