Apparently groups of offended people have been complaining to A&W root beer that their male bear mascot does not have any pants.

I cannot understand their reasoning.

Are the complainers feminists that think that the dude-bear is sexually harassing people and exposing himself as a matter of public indecency?

Or are the whiners a bunch of right wing religious people that say nobody should be going around in public without pants-- even cartoon characters? 'Cuz next thing you know the furries will start molesting people and your society will degrade into Sodom and Gomorrah?

A&W Root Beer puts pants on ‘polarizing' mascot bear Rooty after M&Ms 'pauses' spokescandies

A&W Restaurants said Tuesday that its mascot Rooty's lack of pants was too polarizing and henceforth, the bear will be sporting denim jeans.

Note that in related news M&Ms gave up on their campaign to turn their little candy mascots queer and trans, so now they've just eliminated them entirely rather than allowing the candies to be perceived as binary cisgender
(and therefore discriminatory, violating the company's commitment to diversity equity and perversion. Oops, I mean "inclusion.")

Honestly I never even knew they had a mascot and have never eaten at one of their restaurants.

I think what it all comes down to is you have a miserable person that finds their battle so they feel important at least for 15 minutes.

Whether that be a pantsless bear or a statue

Didn’t A&W win the Super Bowl in 1963? Or was that Seattle?






(J/K GS, I never watch sports)

If that is a problem then they should take a look at Minnie Mouse. She doesn't have any lower covering either. I always thought it was strange that Mickey Mouse did not have a shirt and Minnie mouse did not have bottoms. It's like they took one outfit and divided it between them.

Perchance my email to them advising I shall purchase M&M no more forever if they did that had some effect.

Who wants to eat gay M&M’s? Anyone?

What about the tranny ones? Chocolate identifying as caramel? Fruit Loop identifying as normal?

I didn't realize candy could have a sexual preference.

I didn’t either. I learn something new everyday. The “woke” crowd continues to enlighten me by teaching me stuff I never knew I needed to know.

When I was learning German, I always wondered why nouns had a gender ??? Die, Das, Der??

 

[Schweisshund]

In German, a donut is a he (der donut) and a banana is a she (die banane)

It would seem the Germans have that backwards. I was never able to figure it out.

BFD the A&W bear has no pants, Yogi bear only wears a tie. These people need to get a life. I think there are more important issues than cartoon characters wearing clothes.

 

[Nemo]

Yeah but Yogi has a hat too. Boo Boo has a bow tie.

If you are a star, you got to be propely attired.

Winnie the Pooh not only has no pants,
but his shirt is like a halter top --exposing his midriff!
Does he think he's Shakira or something?

Hey, why did you crop the pic so short?

A decent bear will wear pants.

Like this all-American hero Smokey Bear,
since 1958 wearing his dungarees to do the important work in fighting wildfires.
