RE: Stop Being Offended by EVERYTHING!
Companies have to pull products and change letterings because someone somewhere got a little hurt by a simple logo or a joke.
A lot of time it helps to estalish a baseline of what you consider SJW outrage and I may see otherwise...do you mind sharing such example from real life where companies had to adjust their branding due to fake outrage ?
For example the Boy London shirts I was talking about, many big retailers stopped selling their products after customers complained, or just moved the products to the back of the store. And not too long ago, H&M got huge backlash for selling a childrens shirt that said "coolest monkey in the jungle", and the boy who modelled it was black.
Re: the H&M episode
As evolution theory will tell us , humans evolved from simpler life form, ape being the closest ( I think) or monkeys in general. Juxtaposing a human to a monkey is not the objectionable part of the clothing , I call my son cutie monkey all the times.
When you put that information in context of the fact that black people were abused and regarding sub human with comparisons to monkey/apes for centuries , it take a different form. Why is comparing a female to a bitch offensive ? female dog is a life form , not any less or more than a dog/cat .It is the context in which it has been used to degrade females is the objectionable part .
I do not consider pulling off of such clothing as fake outrage.
I will stop my rant here as I am clearly a SJW ..
