The culture wars took a different turn this week as conservatives attacked a candy bar ad campaign from Hershey's featuring a transgender woman—and then launched a competing chocolate brand labeled with two distinct genders.
The spat is the latest pitting conservatives against what they say is increasing 'wokeness' by big business to appeal to more progressive consumers, but which jars on traditionalists and those who argue that companies have no place in pushing their political views alongside their goods.
The campaign from 129-year-old Hershey won praise from liberals during a period celebrating Women's History Month and International Women's Day in Canada. It includes chocolate-bar wrappers in various countries that highlight the "HER" or the "SHE" in the Hershey's label. There's also a "HER" bar, a "SHE" bar and a "HER for SHE" bar.
That prompted conservative news outlet The Daily Wire to launch a non-"woke" competitor to the world-famous Hershey's candy bar called Jeremy's Chocolates, named for co-CEO Jeremy Boreing.

Just another thing to distract us from real problems. Who cares if Hershey highlighted the her or the she. Who cares if a dude wants to be a girl. Live and let live! Judge not yet the be judged! Are the words I live by. Jesus taught us to love one another all this other crap is Satan dividing us. We will all be judged in the end not my job to do it here. JMO

it is all part of the corrupting of our culture by making all this perversion the accepted norm. and to the point about dividing..that is kind of the point devide, marginalize, and defeat. unity can not come at the price of moral standards and truth. what is that quote something like "the only thing it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to remain silent" and often this silence comes under the guise fir call a for unity

If they put as much effort into problems like mental illness as they do to stuff like this our country would be better served

Agree live and let live and we’ll all be judged just hard to ignore when ever thing you see and hear is pushing it trying to convince our kids that all that is normal and ok when that’s far from the truth even in your book that says don’t judge leave that up to him it talks many times about that somebody has to push back a little bit
