M&M knows that it is only a matter of time before the woke mob starts demanding “representation”. At that point, what was fun becomes a grim chore, and everybody who liked the previous branding gets annoyed.
They are very wise to side-step that controversy. change the theme now, while it is still a pleasant memory. A year from now would be too late.
Very wise.
The people who will be upset by this are the woke agitators who were warming up in the wings. They will be denied their cheap and easy virtue signalling publicity stunts.
This is a very good move by M&M. They see the writing on the wall, and they are getting out while the getting is good.

Capitulating to wokism is NEVER a good move.
It’s cowardice.
