The fact that you did refreshes helps your argument how exactly?  There would have been many ways to update the logo, but it's all just in our heads that woke people are trying to send a woke message. lol  Your side taught the right all about cancel culture and now you're whining about it.

By woke I am assuming you mean awake, meaning conscious, considerate of others, aware of the world around you, empathetic, kind, committed to making a positive difference in the world.  As opposed to being afraid of anything that is not in your limited space so you have to put labels on it to justify not making an effort to face your fears.

Yep...the Left NEVER demonstrates fragility.

Both sides do it.  Ask Sydney Sweeney and her great jeans.

Has anyone been to a Cracker Barrel in the last 10 years.  Anybody?  Bueller?
Hey, Badger. Offer still stands. Next time you go to Temple, greet everyone with a Roman salute. I’ll pay both your medical and dental deductibles. Just send video proof.

So if you think this is a woke move and not just a simple logo modernization that every company does every so often, explain to me how. Does it now appeal more to gays? Trans people? Immigrants? Or is it just a recognition that their clientele is aging and dying off and this just an attempt to tweak their antiquated brand in an attempt to appeal to a wider, younger audience?

Either way, I'm sure "victim" America will now cancel them and start shooting up Cracker Barrel billboards and the company will be forced to change their logo back. Go woke, go broke, right? It will be a great victory for morons everywhere.

Dude, I don't really give a shit other than calling a spade a spade.  It is a trend to lose white man from advertising.  Does it appeal to you more?  Look at the logo.  I could design that damn thing and I have zero artistic ability.  But white man is removed.  Mission accomplished.  There is nothing "modern" about that logo, whereas the old one had iconic going for it.  Modernization comes through the menu and slow changes to the atmosphere, not through an iconic logo for a store known as an icon.   

I don't think it's a big deal but directionally this was a move towards woke.  Now with Bud Light and Jaguar, that's on a whole different level.   Maybe Cracker Barrel can bring in the male Viking cheerleaders that weren't meant to send a message either.  lol

LOL.  I love when the 5% wants the 95% to be considerate of others.   More virtue signaling in your message than I really care to correct.  lol   You're the ones that fear has overridden.  The right is enjoying throwing the woke bs right back in the faces of people who don't understand the degree of their own hypocrisy.

Both sides of these political hissy fits are sickening. One can only hope a moderator will visit soon!

The label you are putting on not-woke is the same reason most people now find woke unfavorable.

Proof coming shortly.

Maybe only kittens and babies. But even kittens and babies aren't constantly whining about mask displays at Target, Oreos, M&Ms, Disney, Mr. Potatohead and my personal favorite, Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Level of intellectual dishonesty by my purple brothers on the left is sad.

Just proved my point.  You still on that?  Too funny.  Talk about fragility.

If I did the Roman Salute...I'd have to go full Musk and say "My heart goes out to you" at the same time like he did.  Funny, you always forget that point as well as the point that Musk has repeatedly said he's "Jewish by association" and "aspirationally Jewish" in the context of discussions about antisemitism.  But sure, the Nazi thing is totally believable...again...not sure how I didn't see it before.

Speaking of safe spaces, I assume you're still a regular on Bluesky?  Has it got any better.  I quit going there.  The hard left didn't have anybody to argue with so they started to eat their own.  Lots of virtue signaling going on bordering on insanity.  I assume Truth social is the same way though I've never signed up there.

I do find it interesting how unaware both sides of these culture war topics are to that they are exactly the same as the side they are fighting.

This is my favorite video on the topic:

Labels, yep. 20 years ago the label was "political correctness," a thousand years ago they called it "chivalry," two thousand years ago they called it "grace." There are now a wide assortment of talking points passed out with marching orders among the army of morons on the right. "Virtue signaling" is my current favorite. 

This is a term devised by a British wingnut to marginalize those who actually care about other humans on the planet. It's been adopted by the American right. They can't figure out why people care about people in "shithole" countries like Gaza, and so now they have a term to dismiss those people. They don’t give a shit about people in Syria and so now they have a term to dismiss them. They don’t even give a shit about poverty in their own country. And because they don’t, they can’t fathom the idea that some do...that it must be fake. Or signals of virtue.

White man? LOL. My goodness, you are so vulnerable to this shit. I know you're not the smartest guy on the planet, but think about why you've been led to believe this. That's a good place to start.
