Purveyors of overpriced fruit pulp, Innocent, have been tweeting today some advice for being more inclusive. Seems like the internet is broken at Innocent HQ as no-one seems to have spotted why Mermaids have been in the news just this weekend (never mind over the last few months, and the ongoing investigation by the Charity Commission). Don't brand managers ever check if a partner might be a bit detrimental to their own reputation?

Fill your gender identity bingo cards with tweets about deadnaming, misgendering and mixed-sex toilets. Why a drinks brand feels the need to shout this at Twitter users is beyond me.

It's only been up for an hour or so and you can imagine how it's going down on Twitter!

That's some ratio! I believe Innocent is now owned by Coca Cola. The central marketing department must be getting flashbacks to the time they changed the Coca Cola recipe.

Yeah I can't believe those fuckers removed the cocaine.

This is the best reply so far:

"Doing the corporate equivalent of clambering aboard the Hindenburg even as you can smell smoke and hear the screams is a genuinely amazing decision."

That's my favourite, too. 🙂

It's like the banks and their long tweets on pronouns and 'we believe in being inclusive' isn't it? listen, bank, I want you to look after my money and make it available to me. I'm not interested in your opinions on anything else, thanks.

Hahah yes, this.

Dennis Kavanagh (barrister) is on the case too, with Moley's help. https://twitter.com/Jebadoo2/status/1663574896306188295?s=20 This will give you a flavour.

Bless them. Legends at Mermaids. Just not for the reasons they think.

Cripes, that particular homophone had not struck me before. Awkward.

Im not very good at twitter or posting tweets on here, but the Myra Hindley one is very good

They've deleted the whole thread, supposedly because there were replies that didn't align with their values and not at all because they hadn't done their due diligence.

BlackForestCake · 30/05/2023 19:47

A year ago, they would have doubled down. We are winning.

PotteringPondering · 30/05/2023 20:00

I've just written to Innocent's 'Get in Touch' email address, to let them know why I don't feel able to buy their smoothies any longer.

I explained why I found their support of Mermaids repellent, drawing on the Dennis Kavanagh tweets posted above (which are brilliant). If you'd like to do the same, the email is:

HermioneWeasley · 30/05/2023 20:01

So they’ve deleted not because they’re in the wrong, but because people pointing out child safeguarding breaches is NOT in line with their values?

OMG that's hilarious. What a bunch of liars they're clearly just worried about their profits.

bellac11 · 30/05/2023 20:12

How come they didnt do a day celebrating diversity focusing on learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, dementia, crohns disease, bowel cancer, stroke survivors etc etc etc

Not trendy enough? Im sick of the word 'diversity' automatically meaning trans, where has that come from?

Fenlandia · 30/05/2023 20:24

Called it - you're all a bunch of meanies who pointed out uncomfortable facts. Wahhhhhh wahhhh waaaah.

Not inclusive? Of whom, Jacob Breslow?

bellac11 · 30/05/2023 20:41

Its a bit sinister

ResisterRex · 30/05/2023 20:44

They're right. This seems much more...aligned with their values?

I copied and pasted this tweet, not sure Ive done it right.....

I see you're doubling down.

A Sex Manifesto

"Transgenderism" is about seeking validation externally for an internal, individual psychological phenomenon, a belief, a “feeling”, a cognitive distortion, that one is something that one is not, never was, nor ever will be.

It is not discrimination regarding anyone for a society or the systems and structures within it to live within the reality of the species.

What is particularly arrogant is to assert rights by erasing the rights and the space within which half the human species exist in and attempting to replace them, yes, I'm referring to men who through a sabotage of language, a shift in clothing, use of chemicals, or surgical alteration and rearrangement attempt to not just appear, but to become, something that one is not, never was, nor ever will be.

Men and women are either male or female. Men can never become women. Women can never become men.

There is no such thing as "transgender".
There is no such thing as a "transgender child".
There is no such thing as "gender identity".
Sex exists, is binary, and it is immutable.

No human is born in the wrong body.
No child is born in the wrong body.
The facilitation, enabling or positive reinforcement of dissociation and disembodiment, which are symptoms of psychological disorder and distress, by providers is either negligence or malpractice, depending on level of intent or awareness.

Exposure of children and youth to adult sexual behavior, content, and entertainment, especially and particularly pornography, is child sexual abuse and exploitation.

To interfere by apparatus, chemically or surgically in a child or youth’s natural and healthy biological and physiological development, growth, and processes is child physical abuse and a crime against humanity.
Teachers: the classroom, and the minds and bodies of the children and youth within it, is not your psychosexual playground.

Parents do not send in trust, and students do not participate in, society’s educational process to prepare children and youth for adulthood and safe, moral, and productive participation in society, to provide you with personal validation of any aspect of your psychological, physical or social self.
Nor are they a means to act out, upon, or through, the search for, or gratification of, your core psychological needs.

In the beginning was Nature.
Androgyny has always existed within human behavior.
It's called self expression, style and personality.
They are behaviors, not identities.
Transvestism is a behavior.
Transsexualism is a behavior, not an identity;
it is an appearance; it is an altered appearance, not a reality. And an appearance has never, does not now, nor will ever replace a reality.

A man is not a woman.
A man cannot become a woman.
A woman is not a man.
A woman cannot become a man.
To believe so is a fantasy, an illusion, a delusion, a deception; a deception of self and others.
It is anti-human. It is anti-reality.
It is anti-female. It is anti-male.
It is manufacture attempting to replace actual.
It is simulation attempting to replace real.
Actual and real will never be replaced by the manufactured and the simulated.
A men's sexual fetish and power movement, purveyor of manufacture and simulation,
can never stand in the space where a woman exists and stands,
is actual and real.

Yes - it's a positive step that they know they can't afford to double down.

What does ratio mean on twitter, I keep seeing references to it
