Political correctness is out of control. Not even “mansize” kleenex tissues have been spared from the insanity.

Kleenex will re-brand its “Mansize” tissues after consumers complained the name was sexist — touching off a social media conversation about what’s in a name.
The company behind Kleenex, Kimberly-Clark, said Thursday that the product, which is sold only in the U.K., will now be called “Kleenex Extra Large.” Packages for the tissues describe them as “confidently strong” and “comfortingly soft.”
Kimberly-Clark told Britain’s Daily Telegraph that it in “no way suggests” that being both soft and strong was “an exclusively masculine trait, nor do we believe that the Mansize branding suggests or endorses gender inequality.”
The fact that there are so many people who expressed outrage over this being a “sexist” brand proves that the NPC meme is real. These NPCs have no agency and will just demand things based on what’s been programmed into their mind. Even scarier is how the company just caved into the demands of the MOB aka NPCs.
Objectively, there is nothing about this that is against women. Of course the definition of “sexism” has been redefined repeatedly and this new definition has been downloaded into the brains of these NPCs to mean almost anything. They’re being programmed to be outraged over an increasingly large number of things and this is becoming more and more problematic.
