Conservative Commentator Has A Meltdown Over Minnie Mouse Getting A Pantsuit

Candace Owens said Disney is 'trying to destroy fabrics of our society'.

Candace Owens has been one of many people who are seemingly furious about an update from Disney.

Disneyland Paris announced that, in honour of their 30th anniversary, they were giving Minnie Mouse a makeover to give her a more progressive angle.

Minnie is traditionally seen in a red and white polkadot dress, however her new look sees her in a daring black and blue pantsuit.

The outfit was designed by none other than British fashion designer Stella McCartney and will pay tribute to Women's History Month in March.

While most people couldn't give a toss what Minnie or Micky is wearing these days, it seems like conservative commentator Candace Owens was upset.

Speaking on Fox News, she said: "This is why people don't take these people seriously.

"They're taking all of these things that nobody was offended by. It's like they have to get rid of them and destroy them because they're bored. You know, they're absolutely bored."

"They're trying to destroy fabrics of our society, pretending that there's issues."

'Destroying the fabrics of our society' is certainly a strong concept played by Candace when it's literally just a fictional mouse with a new outfit.

Nevertheless, she continued: "So, everybody looks over here. Look at Minnie Mouse, don't look at inflation, Jesse. Look at Minnie Mouse!

"The world is going forward because you've got her in a pantsuit.

"Never mind that you can't get anything at the grocery store and you can't buy a piece of bacon unless you've got $30 in your pocket. At least we're addressing the real problem, which is Minnie Mouse!"

The outrage sparked about something as small as this is similar to the disgust that fellow conservative commentator Tucker Carlson erupted with after seeing the new look M&Ms.

The chocolate characters were given 'more nuanced personalities to underscore the importance of self-expression and power of community through storytelling'.

The changes aren't all that dramatic - the company has lowered the height of the brown M&M's heels, while the green M&M has ditched her go-go boots for a pair of 'cool, laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence'.

Carlson said that M&Ms wouldn't be happy 'until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous'.

He added: "Until the moment you wouldn't want to have a drink with any one of them. That's the goal. When you're totally turned off, we've achieved equity."
