Are these foods brands "problematic"?

[Snsl153]

These are all available (or were until recently available) in Australia.

Nah, they're fine!

OMG! I'm going to faint! How could you?

They're politically incorrect, but no one cares about that anymore.

Don't care. Just show me the results.

The word problematic is an issue. It was only recently added to the dictionary. Proper English speakers would consider this slang; yet this is turning into a problem (not problematic). We've degraded our communication acumen significantly in the last 20 years, and this leads societal decay after a few generations.

I use plenty of slang as well, but I loathe the "word" problematic more than boring women lol It's not a real word!!!

[Snsl153]

At what point does a word that "isn't real" become one that is? I used that specific word (or in your view, non-word) simply because I've heard it so often in relation to things like this.

[macjets007]

I understand. A lot of very intelligent people use it. I'm simply saying that fact that it has become a word is a travesty.

[youngmix]

Irregardless, it's gonna be problematic when you conversate.

[Snsl153]

@youngmix Hey, you speak 'Newspeak'. Doubleplusgood! :)

[youngmix]

LOL!!!
I hope that Orwell was off on that one, but he seems to be on to something...

[DryGermanGuy]

Oh, silly me… I thought this would be about problematic ingredients! 🙄😂
How about this one (ooold brand in Germany) :

[Oigit]

Nope, people just want to be offended and outraged about. The same people that don't care that there are several cases where actual pedophiles have used Drag Queen story hour like events in attempts to gain access to kids. So they will piss and moan about food labels and continue to risk kids being kidnapped and molested like I was growing up. Because events such as Drag Queen Story hours are important when it comes to pushing their agenda.

The names are politically incorrect, and there's a minority that complains about that but they're fine. People have been complaining about the SPAM brand for years... it hasn't gone anywhere.

A minority of society has gotten really sensitive about things in the last 10-15 years. Because of that, there's a big push to eliminate any remnants of the Confederacy in the US Civil War: school names. names of mountains, memorials, etc. When will it end?

Can we please just live our lives and be concerned about more important things in life than what something is called.

[Kaneki05]

Gay = Happy so that's actually Golden Happtime lol also if one's to think about it finding a product offensive because it say's gay on it is implying that the word gay it's self is offensive which it's not.
Anyway I just find these more funny than actually offensive.

[Snsl153]

Well, yes, that's what gay used to mean - happy. Not anymore though.

[Kaneki05]

Now it just means happy with men what's wrong with that?

[BoobMan]

This is AWESOME! Need to bring these to the next party I go to!

[Bratsondanielle]

I must be dumb or something... why would they be "problematic"?

[Snsl153]

COON cheese? Fags? GAYtime? Redskins? You can't imagine sensitive virtue-signallers getting angry on Twitter over these names?

[Bratsondanielle]

Ooohhh!!! I see i see !! Yeah, sorry, it's just... You know what it's because I'm normal so very often I have to really think twice or even have it explained to... Understand (or whatever) when I come across those things that are now so popular because some people have way too much spare time...

[Cubus]

In my country we have a cake that is called in translation "Black woman's tits". Imagine how triggered some people in USA would be with that name.

[Alex8736]

In the UK The term "fag" means cigarettes but became derogatory towards gay males eons ago so it is controversial

[Snsl153]

Yes, the same in Australia. A "fag" is a cigarette, not what Americans use that term for.

[Alex8736]

In college when I was taking a literature course I used to always see the term "feeling gay" which meant happy

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Yes if they’re not made of 100% fruits. Otherwise, maybe, due to their toxicity but many humans nosh toxic rubbish all the time.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, those would never make the shelves in the US😂

[JustSempathyc]

I guess its preblematic. What the gaytime 😅

[Snsl153]

Ice cream. You can see it on the box there what they look like. They're actually quite good.

[JustSempathyc]

I never want to taste this ice cream after this name 😅

[Snsl153]

Don't you want to be gay?

[JustSempathyc]

No, impossible

[msc545]

Not worth worrying about really.

[Anonymous]

They are for the so called woke culture.
