I mean an explicitly trans M&M would be nice. Although everyone knows that green is historically (if not canonically) trans. The original green character was a peanut M&M. They later conspicuously disappeared new female Green came out. After her feminization procedure she used hyperfemininity to make sure she "passed." As time went on and she became less worried she relaxed her expression into what felt more natural to her. That is basically a possible trans journey right there, all they would have to do is confirm it. Sorry to out you green.

You have to love how close the Babylon L sketch is to realizing that "Skittles" and "M&M" are just names the company gave them and Skittles could come out with a chocolate version tomorrow and it would literally be what they are describing.
And the thing is, there have been chocolate Skittles before. The line consisted of S'mores, Vanilla, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding, and Brownie Batter.

I don’t know if anyone knows this but Purple is not a new character. When m&ms were first created back in the 40’s the original colors were Red, Yellow, Green, Brown, and Purple. So purple is an original color which had just been replaced. The same thing happened to red back in the mid 70’s but that was due to the red dye not being safe. So welcome back purple!!!! It’s been like 73 years🎉🎉🎉!

Apparently they aren't putting the purple M&Ms in all packs. Only in "exclusive" packs.

I’m still kinda sad that Mars is using *forced* child labour like that’s still a little uncomfortable for me. Kinda want their workers to have that “positive impact” too djdjdkkx don’t get me wrong I’m glad they’re making an effort to represent trans and gender-queer people btw! It just feels a little weird tho with this in mind
i'm not a big fan of M&Ms but i find the lore of M&Ms to just be so interesting. there's so many trans M&Ms and i think it's super cool!! also gives me the excuse to make headcanons about tiny funny candyfolk.
7:37 my heart freaking stopped, that’s the first time my name has been in a video since I started using it TWO YEARS AGO- And of course it’s a trans character who’s referred to as “they” (I usually go by they/them too). I swear 😅
Great video Samantha, m&ms has somewhat rubbed me the wrong with this which shows they have more to learn. But it’s a great step in the right direction.
Hey, so this isn't about the video, I need advice tho! So my dad is in his 70s, and he's super stubborn, it's definitely where i get it, but its Something i work on consistently. Earlier today, he mentioned Caitlyn Jenner, but kept calling her Bruce and saying "he was Bruce at the time though". So im pan, but im not trans, and I told him that Caitlyn has always been Caitlyn, so to refer to her by her old name and pronouns, that's transphobic and it's hurtful. I told him that it doesn't have to be hateful to be transphobic, but he got upset and hasn't talked to me since. He told me I should learn more about it because he's right, and I pointed out that he's never so much as spoken to a trans person before, and im the only gay person he even knows, so maybe he's not the one who should be educating anyone about trans issues. That's not to say I'm the best person to educate anyone on trans issues,( and I said all of this) but out of the two of us, he may just want to consider he doesn't know as much as I do about gay issues. If anybody has any advice on how to explain this to him, that would be greatly appreciated
I would say ask him if he goes around calling women by their maiden names, and only by their maiden names, because that's what their name was back when.
Your dead name and old pronouns were assigned to you by others, and never reflected your gender. While there are exceptions, people don't _become_ trans, they just realise that they _are_ trans, and may always have been trans, so the old pronouns (and, by extension, the old name) were always factually incorrect. And it's hurtful because it denies who they are. Using the wrong pronoun or name accidentally is perfectly fine and understandable, but there are plenty of people who reject their gender identity altogether. Using the wrong pronoun or name brings up all the struggles that a trans person has to go through to be who they are, and to be accepted for who they are. I do also kind of get his point of view though, because that's how they were known in the past, so this is kind of rewriting history (but history can't be changed). People who are more right-leaning tend to get very offended and defensive when you label something they've said or done as "transphobic", so I'd probably avoid that term when talking to those close to you.
I’m sorry you gotta deal with that, it’s so hard sometimes. One thing that might help is talking about Elliot Page? So, he’s an actor that came out as trans/non-binary person a couple years ago now. But ofc he’s quite famous and been in a lot of prominent movies, so how best can you talk about him and his previous work pre-coming-out? Well I think I’ve seen it described best as calling him his actual name (Elliot) and using he/him pronouns when discussing him and what work he’s done. But, when talking specifically about his characters, using the pronouns of the character, in that context only. Like for example: “one of Elliot’s first famous roles was when he played a girl called Juno, who got pregnant in her teenage years.” Another thing you can compare it to is that old Eddie Murphy movie, (who is cis ofc), where he plays everyone in the movie. When he played a woman character, you’d use she/her pronouns when talking about her in particular, but just because he played women roles, that doesn’t mean people used she/her pronouns at all, when talking about Eddie Murphy himself during or after the role, or on the champagne/in interviews, etc. He only went by she/her pronouns when in character. Idk, but the point is, before Elliot or Caitlyn Jenner came out, it was kind of like they were playing the role they were assigned at birth. And after they came out, and revealed their true self, it’s disrespectful to _purposefully_ ignore their truth. Mistakes are okay, slip ups don’t make you a bad person, just so long as you accept the correction and move on trying to be better. In the confines of your own home, with no trans people around, it doesn’t hurt someone, sure, (assuming a family member isn’t secretly in the closet ofc, cause you can never know), but it builds bad habits and almost certainly _will_ hurt someone down the line. Be it a stranger or a friend. (Plus attacking subsection of a group your child is in, no matter how much you don’t mean to be doing so, can still hurt them, even if they aren’t trans themselves. ;’)) It can be embarrassing and shameful to admit you made a mistake, but doing so and learning to move on, and take this as an opportunity for growth, is so much more impactful and fulfilling. . . Idk, hope that helped some? Kinda talked outta my ass there, and I’m only one trans person myself, but wishing you the best with your dad. Hope he comes around and you can make up. :’)
Oh! Also, it’s important to remember to not stoop so low as to insult someone by who they are and what they can’t change, even if you don’t like them. I’m not a big fan of Caitlyn, as she is in a lot of conservative circles, but I’d never misgender her or the like, just because I don’t much like her. That just puts you automatically in the wrong. Criticise a person’s actions and things they do to make them who they are; not their identity/self and things they can’t change about who they are.
My family took some time before accepting me. They were fairly open-minded and I had the confidence and the courage to tell them a couple of years before my transition. My point is that everyone's reaction is different. Have patience, love your loved ones, and correct them without pushing them. if they love you they will come around.
NOPE! You can not take the first trans M&M title away from Green. She used to be a male presenting peanut M&M. Now she's a female presenting M&M with no nuts. That makes her a post surgery trans woman.
The question isn’t, “What are you selling?” Or… or “What service are you providing?” The question is, “What do you stand for?” Who are you, Bagel Bites?
I love how it was basically like telling a child, you want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about- Big props even if it's just candy mascots or the symbolism is something as silly and cute as being a different candy, we still need more to show this world that people are not harming you if they identify as a different gender from their biological sex, whether it be mtf ftm, or non binary and anything in between, if they aren't committing crimes, what is the problem? We should focus on real world problems that need to be dealt with and leave harmless people who only want to be happy and feel how they were meant to be alone, for the united states, we are said to have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness the moment we are born, but things like this makes me wonder how much that phrase is true today and whether it has lost its meaning.
I never thought I'd see the day that people would argue over the gender identity of a freaking M&M. Like did the doctor assign it a sex at birth or something, cuz M&Ms don't really have any sexual anatomy to begin with. They all look and taste exactly the same on the inside, aside from having different colored outsides. Kind of like people. People come in different shades and colors, but we all look and taste the same on the inside.
I’m pretty sure the green MnM thing started as a joke. Because there use to be only one female (brown.) but when they did redesigns they made the green a female to balance it out.
Samantha, When I first saw the intro tag line I wasn't sure if I would like this post. After watching the entire video ... Congratulations to Mars the candy company and their commercial messaging to consumers. Yes, they will most likely have a bump in sales to those who treat it as a novelty. Getting the messaging out in 2022 form would have been very helpful to me many years ago as I painfully hid from myself.
in th 80s there was a candy bar named "Bopper" it was whipped fluffy peanut butter center- better than resees. w/chocolate & rice crispy coating - it beat any candy bar/bits. Resee's should b trans cuz they ain't sorry.
The funniest thing is originally, the green m&m was a boy, all of the m&ms were. Now green is a girl, it's really cool cause it's not said to be trans but it kinda is.
I love when Ben Shapiro said that they were representing the trans community because the purple one had nuts in it and that was one of the few times I've laughed at something he's said.
I just find it funny that Tucker got mad about whether or not he was sexually attracted to candy. Like jesus, is he not getting enough at home or something?

I’m still kinda sad that Mars is using *forced* child labour like that’s still a little uncomfortable for me. Kinda want their workers to have that “positive impact” too djdjdkkx don’t get me wrong I’m glad they’re making an effort to represent trans and gender-queer people btw! It just feels a little weird tho with this in mind
tucker carlson is secretly closeted and an expert in women's shoes is still my theory ngl.
"girl, those things are tacky go back to the go go boots"
HELLO SAMANTHA!, I am Right Wing, AND Trans, and proud of both!.
Samantha, I saw your commercial. I thought it was Victoria Rose at first. lol
i'm not a big fan of M&Ms but i find the lore of M&Ms to just be so interesting. there's so many trans M&Ms and i think it's super cool!! also gives me the excuse to make headcanons about tiny funny candyfolk.
FUCK YES. I am ready to peep Fox News tonight 😂
I missed where it switched from the real video to the parody, and had to rewatch your whole video again just to figure it out
M&Ms is rolling! They should keep this up🎉🎉🎉
7:37 my heart freaking stopped, that’s the first time my name has been in a video since I started using it TWO YEARS AGO-
And of course it’s a trans character who’s referred to as “they” (I usually go by they/them too). I swear 😅
Yay go M&M! Also hello to all the other early peeps!
Will there ever be M&M's without chocolate to have fruit flavors instead?
M&M's: "No."
That is not being diverse and inclusive. Reject.
Great video Samantha, m&ms has somewhat rubbed me the wrong with this which shows they have more to learn. But it’s a great step in the right direction.
yeah like i get it's supposed to be an allegory but being a skittle isn't a social construct
The Skittle thing is (pretty bad) satire that has no association with M&M's.
Hey, so this isn't about the video, I need advice tho!
So my dad is in his 70s, and he's super stubborn, it's definitely where i get it, but its
Something i work on consistently. Earlier today, he mentioned Caitlyn Jenner, but kept calling her Bruce and saying "he was Bruce at the time though". So im pan, but im not trans, and I told him that Caitlyn has always been Caitlyn, so to refer to her by her old name and pronouns, that's transphobic and it's hurtful. I told him that it doesn't have to be hateful to be transphobic, but he got upset and hasn't talked to me since. He told me I should learn more about it because he's right, and I pointed out that he's never so much as spoken to a trans person before, and im the only gay person he even knows, so maybe he's not the one who should be educating anyone about trans issues. That's not to say I'm the best person to educate anyone on trans issues,( and I said all of this) but out of the two of us, he may just want to consider he doesn't know as much as I do about gay issues.
If anybody has any advice on how to explain this to him, that would be greatly appreciated
I would say ask him if he goes around calling women by their maiden names, and only by their maiden names, because that's what their name was back when.
Your dead name and old pronouns were assigned to you by others, and never reflected your gender. While there are exceptions, people don't _become_ trans, they just realise that they _are_ trans, and may always have been trans, so the old pronouns (and, by extension, the old name) were always factually incorrect.
And it's hurtful because it denies who they are. Using the wrong pronoun or name accidentally is perfectly fine and understandable, but there are plenty of people who reject their gender identity altogether. Using the wrong pronoun or name brings up all the struggles that a trans person has to go through to be who they are, and to be accepted for who they are.
I do also kind of get his point of view though, because that's how they were known in the past, so this is kind of rewriting history (but history can't be changed).
People who are more right-leaning tend to get very offended and defensive when you label something they've said or done as "transphobic", so I'd probably avoid that term when talking to those close to you.
I’m sorry you gotta deal with that, it’s so hard sometimes.
One thing that might help is talking about Elliot Page?
So, he’s an actor that came out as trans/non-binary person a couple years ago now. But ofc he’s quite famous and been in a lot of prominent movies, so how best can you talk about him and his previous work pre-coming-out?
Well I think I’ve seen it described best as calling him his actual name (Elliot) and using he/him pronouns when discussing him and what work he’s done. But, when talking specifically about his characters, using the pronouns of the character, in that context only. Like for example: “one of Elliot’s first famous roles was when he played a girl called Juno, who got pregnant in her teenage years.”
Another thing you can compare it to is that old Eddie Murphy movie, (who is cis ofc), where he plays everyone in the movie. When he played a woman character, you’d use she/her pronouns when talking about her in particular, but just because he played women roles, that doesn’t mean people used she/her pronouns at all, when talking about Eddie Murphy himself during or after the role, or on the champagne/in interviews, etc. He only went by she/her pronouns when in character.
Idk, but the point is, before Elliot or Caitlyn Jenner came out, it was kind of like they were playing the role they were assigned at birth. And after they came out, and revealed their true self, it’s disrespectful to _purposefully_ ignore their truth. Mistakes are okay, slip ups don’t make you a bad person, just so long as you accept the correction and move on trying to be better.
In the confines of your own home, with no trans people around, it doesn’t hurt someone, sure, (assuming a family member isn’t secretly in the closet ofc, cause you can never know), but it builds bad habits and almost certainly _will_ hurt someone down the line. Be it a stranger or a friend. (Plus attacking subsection of a group your child is in, no matter how much you don’t mean to be doing so, can still hurt them, even if they aren’t trans themselves. ;’))
It can be embarrassing and shameful to admit you made a mistake, but doing so and learning to move on, and take this as an opportunity for growth, is so much more impactful and fulfilling. . .
Idk, hope that helped some? Kinda talked outta my ass there, and I’m only one trans person myself, but wishing you the best with your dad. Hope he comes around and you can make up. :’)
Oh! Also, it’s important to remember to not stoop so low as to insult someone by who they are and what they can’t change, even if you don’t like them. I’m not a big fan of Caitlyn, as she is in a lot of conservative circles, but I’d never misgender her or the like, just because I don’t much like her. That just puts you automatically in the wrong. Criticise a person’s actions and things they do to make them who they are; not their identity/self and things they can’t change about who they are.
My family took some time before accepting me. They were fairly open-minded and I had the confidence and the courage to tell them a couple of years before my transition. My point is that everyone's reaction is different. Have patience, love your loved ones, and correct them without pushing them. if they love you they will come around.
The CEOs name is Franklin Crunch??????????? Thats dope
Ok but xenogender wise skittle/skittles would be cute pronouns 😭
Skittleself
M&M beyond tomorrow 🎉 missing your nails.. and What you mean about that 😂😂😂
Letter reassignment surgery??? I'm dead 🤣💖
Jeez it's 5 AM and I'm not tired at all, I stayed up till 4 last night, I have no clue whats going on lol
NOPE! You can not take the first trans M&M title away from Green. She used to be a male presenting peanut M&M. Now she's a female presenting M&M with no nuts. That makes her a post surgery trans woman.
"Have you ever worn heels, Tucker?" 💀
The question isn’t, “What are you selling?” Or… or “What service are you providing?” The question is, “What do you stand for?” Who are you, Bagel Bites?
Bro I got an add for you whilst watching you 😂
Damn I got an add with samantha in it at the beginning of the video, get that money!!
M&Ms already has 2 trans candies. Brown is ftm and green is mtf.
Skittleself is the best pronoun.
I love how it was basically like telling a child, you want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about-
Big props even if it's just candy mascots or the symbolism is something as silly and cute as being a different candy, we still need more to show this world that people are not harming you if they identify as a different gender from their biological sex, whether it be mtf ftm, or non binary and anything in between, if they aren't committing crimes, what is the problem? We should focus on real world problems that need to be dealt with and leave harmless people who only want to be happy and feel how they were meant to be alone, for the united states, we are said to have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness the moment we are born, but things like this makes me wonder how much that phrase is true today and whether it has lost its meaning.
A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play... that the old UK commercial for it...
I don't even eat candy but damn! I'm going to buy some m&ms
I never thought I'd see the day that people would argue over the gender identity of a freaking M&M. Like did the doctor assign it a sex at birth or something, cuz M&Ms don't really have any sexual anatomy to begin with. They all look and taste exactly the same on the inside, aside from having different colored outsides. Kind of like people. People come in different shades and colors, but we all look and taste the same on the inside.
It's all about labels, no?
@@normanclatcher I guess. But your comment is so short and vague that I'm not entirely sure what you're saying.
@@4dojo Precisely. 😉
@@normanclatcher cool. 👍
I’m pretty sure the green MnM thing started as a joke. Because there use to be only one female (brown.) but when they did redesigns they made the green a female to balance it out.
I always head cannoned red as trans
Why does trans women need a purple M&M to represent them if they identify as real women? It seems out of character, not going to lie.
Samantha,
When I first saw the intro tag line I wasn't sure if I would like this post.
After watching the entire video ...
Congratulations to Mars the candy company and their commercial messaging to consumers.
Yes, they will most likely have a bump in sales to those who treat it as a novelty.
Getting the messaging out in 2022 form would have been very helpful to me many years ago as I painfully hid from myself.
is your necklace larimar??
in th 80s there was a candy bar named "Bopper" it was whipped fluffy peanut butter center- better than resees. w/chocolate & rice crispy coating - it beat any candy bar/bits. Resee's should b trans cuz they ain't sorry.
The funniest thing is originally, the green m&m was a boy, all of the m&ms were. Now green is a girl, it's really cool cause it's not said to be trans but it kinda is.
4:00 🤣
Skittles and M&M's should make a mix of skittles and M&M's in the same package. I'm if that made sense.
I love when Ben Shapiro said that they were representing the trans community because the purple one had nuts in it and that was one of the few times I've laughed at something he's said.
I think all this drama over CANDY is ridiculous but entertaining to watch.
HOW DOES CANDY HAVE A GENDER ANYWAY
Honestly they aren't offending anyone so go off, I personally love the quirky and "cringy" Purple
If the purple m&m’s trans, what does that make the red and orange ones?
It would be awesome if I was eating m&ms and found a skittle in the bag because skittles are so much better
