In addition to the visual changes, the characters' personalities were also updated. Ms. Green, known for her self-awareness and outgoing nature, now has a more inclusive and friendly demeanor. The redesign aimed to emphasize her confidence without the previous overt focus on femininity and sexuality, which had been a point of contention among audiences. This change was part of a broader effort to reduce the sexualization of female mascots and promote a more progressive representation.

Huh.

I dunno if a beauty salon was maybe the best setting to use for your ad, Kiwibank.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Considering I've never heard of Kiwibank until now, the advertising is working.

Maybe just not working as they intended...

So a bank, like a real bank that people safeguard their savings, has this as its mascot?

[–] ChunderBustickles@piefed.nz 2 points 16 hours ago

Yep. backed by the NZ government, no less...

At least it’s not a sperm bank.
