M&M\u2019s has added a new \u201cspokescandy\u201d to their cartoon character lineup, designed to \u201crepresent acceptance and inclusivity.\u201d<\/h3>\n

The character is the first new addition to the lineup in a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesigned to represent acceptance and inclusivity, our newest member is known for her earnest self-expression,\u201d the brand said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cKeen self-awareness, authenticity and confidence are the driving forces behind Purple\u2019s charm and quirky nature. She joins the legendary cast of M&M\u2019S characters, who recently were given a refresh with updated looks and more nuanced personalities back in January.\u201d<\/p>\n

In January, the brand gave the Green candy a makeover to be less \u201csexy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMars is thrilled to debut the newest member of the M&M\u2019S cast of characters to the world. There is so much about our new spokescandy that people can relate to and appreciate, including her willingness to embrace her true self \u2013 our new character reminds us to celebrate what makes us unique,\u201d said Jane Hwang, Global Vice President at Mars Wrigley. \u201cOur purpose story is just getting started and the introduction of our newest M&M\u2019S spokescandy is the next chapter, as the brand continues to delight fans with fun in a way only M&M\u2019S can.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company has opted to introduce the character with a song and music video titled \u201cI\u2019m Just Gonna Be Me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

In the song, the character is repeatedly referred to as a \u201cshe,\u201d leading many to speculate that they may make her a lesbian in a later ad. Her sexuality is not mentioned or discussed in the video.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the brand also partnered with Lil Nas X, who has written children\u2019s books and sold satanic shoes containing drops of human blood.<\/p>\n
