Conservatives flipping out about a restaurant logo

I ate at a Cracker Barrel once about 15 years ago. It was a bland plate of beige. Why would anyone want to eat there?

 Because if you eat there fifty times you get a free rocking chair.

You dig deep for any supposed example of "wingerness" that you can find. Do you scrounge the internet for this stuff? WOW!!!

 

Meanwhile, 99% of us (including conservatives) probably never even read or paid attention to that article or claim from MSNBC; whatever or whenever it was. 

Honestly the first I heard about it was from the Willie & Basch podcast.  But when I looked it up pretty much every big name conservative x poster was complaining about it.  

Remind me, were you one of the folks that thought a significant number of libs were complaining about the Sydney Sweeney ad?  Because there are far more conservatives (especially those with large followings) complaining about this, than libs that were complaining about the Sydney Sweeney ad.

I was reading about this story the other day and it was here and only here that I learned it was some woke move conservatives were up in arms about.   Haven’t actually seen any conservatives up in arms about it, and don’t see what’s woke about adjusting a logo, particularly in this case.  When I saw the new logo my only thought was “okay….simple”. 
 

I think this ‘story’ is just another example of everything having to be sensationalized for the sake of click bait and/or being offended.  
 

And agree with wrestleknownothing, the food isn’t so great.  The shop is pretty cool though.

Are you on x?  I shared several easy to find examples of accounts with large followings up in arms about it.  Matt Walsh even dedicated a whole video to it.  

But yeah, a lot of the people calling it woke don’t even explain why.  Generally, the complaint is that they are “ruining a great brand” or something to that effect, yet apparently they’ve been down for years and I doubt the people saying how great it was even eat there.

Some people are upset they took the man off the logo, and comparing it to Land o Lakes, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben’s etc.  Lots of people mad at the CEO because she’s a white liberal woman.

I’m not on X…or TikTok…or Snapchat…or any other of the click baiting grab attention social media sites.   Kinda like I said above, I don’t consider some SM sensationalists looking to screen grab as a big pool of….anything.  They do those things for people that will fall for them.

I agree...this is a nothing burger to me...I read it and was like so what...just like a couple others I ate there once and didn't like it and haven't and never planned on eating there ever again

So what are your sources of information that give you your indication of what conservatives are or aren’t up in arms about?

Here’s Fox News for example, including quoting someone saying they are “fixing to Bud Light themselves,” and includes links to various other Fox News articles/videos on the subject

I look at sites that pool stories from all different kinds of news sources (yahoo, bing, etc).  And I guess that I don’t see a whole litany of outlash about the Cracker Barrel logo is what leads me to believe the “story” that conservatives are going crazy over it is more from the X (etc) users looking to make a big splash so the people who fall for it will jump in and run with it, rather than it actually being a real big deal.   That is one indicator.  Most of my friends and family are also conservative, some much more than me, and FB is the one social media site I do use.  The fact that I have not seen it brought up in conversation or on any of these Facebook feeds…where people are just being people and communicating and sharing pictures and other things about their days, instead of looking for clickbait and sensationalism, is another indicator for me.   
 

Now, you may be experiencing something different in your world. I acknowledge that.  I’m just saying I personally do not see all the outcry that I am reading about on here.
 

 It’s okay.
