So another brand proves that they’re not keen on women having thoughts

They can whistle if they think I'm knitting for them now, and I have downloaded their patterns before.

Wildery · 02/02/2021 11:08

Misogynistic twee fuckwits. I won't be buying again.

MichelleofzeResistance · 02/02/2021 11:14

We stand against discrimination.

Unless it's happening to females. Then we're fine with it.

We believe that everyone should be protected from discrimination.

But not females. That half of the human race can fuck off.

Our social media channels will be fair and inclusive

But not to females. Or to anyone caught sympathising with them.

It's on all of us to make sure everyone can live fair and happy lives.

Except females. Unfairness and unhappiness is fine for them. No one may even acknowledge that this unfairness and unhappiness happens and females may never be allowed to post about their experiences in case of making male people unhappy. Unfairness and unhappiness is a female thing and they shouldn't inflict it on others and rain on their happy illusions of equality.

Jesus wept.

Yeah they can piss off with their misogyny and witch hunting. I manage the grocery budget in this house.

Really Innocent, you could have just ignored the tosser with 10 followers and not kicked up a shitstorm of smug maleness.

MichelleofzeResistance · 02/02/2021 11:25

I just don't get the amazing stupidity in not seeing their own hypocrisy and double standards and the irony of what they are saying. Who is this thick?!

But then having a look at their Twitter feed it appears to be being run by a twelve year old.

Conniethesensible · 02/02/2021 11:58

I don't think they care about the opinions here.

Interesting.

ArabellaScott · 02/02/2021 11:58

That 'meet the knitters' is so fucking patronising in light of this statement.

Silly women got a bit cwoss? Silly women do the shopping in most households, you smug, condescending arses.

ArabellaScott · 02/02/2021 12:00

Here's a free pattern, for anyone who wants to smother Innocent in some more twee knitted items: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-dicks

Betty91 · 02/02/2021 12:04

Their social media strategy of listening to the Twitter Police and demanding purity in all their follows is appalling. What's the endgame here Innocent? Calling everyone nasty?

Bye Innocent smoothies. We've been trying to ween the kids off their massive smoothie habit anyway but I kept buying them as kidded myself it was a good way to get some fruit into them. I knew they were full of sugar and were just identifying as a healthy drink.

Their response seems to be getting lots of likes though.

PotholeParadies · 02/02/2021 12:14

The Big Knit, let us remember, is in aid of AgeUK, formerly Age Concern.

Currently, Innocent's behaviour on twitter encouraging the condemnation of FlashMaggie has got one twitter user referencing Maggie's age and proudly boasting that he's looking forward to her death.

Well done, Innocent.

Of course. It's a trope designed for Twitter virtue signalling. But Twitter likes are a funny thing. They don't often actually translate into anything meaningful in the real world.
HermioneWeasley · 02/02/2021 12:19

Maggie is getting horrible comments on innocent’s Twitter feed. They absolutely incited this against an elderly disabled woman (not that she seems to give a fuck) .

MichelleofzeResistance · 02/02/2021 12:20

Of course it is. The chance of joining in with some gleeful gynephobia is always welcomed by some on Twitter. You only have to read the comments to see exactly what bit is being enjoyed. Look at the focus of all the comments; it's all about the joy of seeing females put in their place and reminded that their rights, needs and feelings do not matter.

ScoldsBridle · 02/02/2021 12:21

Thanks for linking to that OvaHere - far too close to home.

unwashedanddazed · 02/02/2021 12:22

I usually buy two family-size bottles of their orange juice every week. No more! They forget they're not the only supplier out there.

They've gone the same way as flora in my house. Although I do eat far more butter now because I'd forgotten how good it tastes compared to flora Grin

AnyOldPrion · 02/02/2021 12:23

I thought this was an interesting comment from the guy who originally tweeted Innocent...classic abuser tactic.

I know the screenshot was a few pages back now, but I wanted to point out that boycotting a product is not cancel culture. If it were cancel culture, we’d be trying to get supermarkets to take Innocent Smoothies off the shelves.

PotholeParadies · 02/02/2021 12:25

And accusing people who drank innocent smoothies in public of committing microaggressions.

Ormally · 02/02/2021 12:26

ArabellaScott, thank you for that pattern. The thought of wokebeards has made me laugh out loud. There were some Scandi-style gnome knits a while back that had just the thing. Think I'm going to adapt the dicks to add a good smattering of boobs as well though.

Yeah surely there ought to be some law around companies using their large platform to shame someone for their legal beliefs, and consequently that person being targeted and hassled in an attempted cancellation as a result of this.

I know, but it just seems a bit deflating, to see so many cheering them on.
rogdmum · 02/02/2021 12:46

I was also wondering what their legal department would think is they knew (assuming they are unaware) that their Twitter child’s tweets were leading to the harassment of a named individual who had not been interacting with them (I.e. her “crime” was being followed by Innocent”.

SophocIestheFox · 02/02/2021 12:47

It really is a useful indicator these days that if a company suddenly takes an interest in policing their customers viewpoints on topics utterly irrelevant to their function in the world, then they’re almost certainly dropping a bollock on some more substantive aspect of their professed ethical standpoint.

Eg: innocent are hot on respect for gender identity, but will happily sell you a pouch of diabetes and are part of Coca Cola, who have an extremely flexible view of responsible tax paying.

Oatly will lecture you on how awful it is that boomers don’t understand pronouns, but are part owned by Blackstone, leading to shady links with Trump supporting and Amazonian deforestation, plus feeding their leftovers from making products for indulging vegans to farmed pigs.

Lush will profess to turn away transphobes and homophobes at the door of their shops, but have an unedifying tendency to encouraging exploitation and sexual harassment of their female employees. Bonus points to them for accidentally donating to Woman’s Place though Grin

Stick to companies that execute well against the relevant ethical standard for their product- fair trade, living wages, sustainability etc. The companies that do well on this don’t need to tell you anything else, and they shouldn’t.

SophocIestheFox · 02/02/2021 12:49

I also think it’s hilarious that some random bloke combs through the social media of a soft drink company looking for wrongthink in the feeds of people followed by that company, but we’re the obsessive nutters for responding? Grin aye, right.
