I don't see why some with thoses names should be made to feel ashamed of using it though, particularly if they started up a business with their namesake.

Does this mean I can take offence on behalf of all the Karens I know? How about just all the Karens? Can I?
I've never taken offence on behalf of someone else before, truly liberating!
Starting to understand the attraction of woke now!
Perpetual victim mentality. lol. Settle petal, maybe time to wash the sand out of your nickers.
'It's a nothing name' Oh I agree, so why is there need to change the name of a cheese brand? If it's such a nothing name why are people taking offence when it leads to a company having to re brand cheese because of a coincidence? Or did Coons ancestors decide to adopt this name just to piss the few easily triggered in the future? They must've known right? Evil bastards I say! Carn Ned let's gather pitch forks.
'And it's ******* cheap cheese. Let's not pretend it's an iconic Australian product, it's outsold by most other brands in the market'
^ Who gives a fcuk? That's not important in context of what the point of the thread is, or are you just s**t at reading between the lines?
'How many people defending the name only want to do so to piss Aboriginals and lefties off?'
^ Riiigghhhtt, so it's a conspiracy then, you know how ridiculous that sounds right - everyone using this for an ulterior motive. How about this, look up the word practical - then you might get an idea of why some are in opposition to the name change.

Interestingly, many colours appear as surnames, either singly (Black) or extended (Blackwell), but I’ve never come across (but possibly exist in other languages) Yellow or Orange. Nor Red, on its own, just Redpath, Redland etc. Names are part of history, which explains why the woke are keen to cancel it, pretend it never happened, or ascribe modern values to events in the past and condemn and punish retrospectively.

Pick up a texta and write coon on your car. Buy a coon sticker. Go outside and scream it loudly. Whisper it in your mum's ear.
Whats stopping you? Nothing. That's free speech.
You can take offence at whatever you like.

Should have just reversed it and called it Nooc Cheese
And yet the irony is that they end up infuriating themselves in the process
So there’s a Coon dairy on the border, but luckily for them it’s not a problem according to Hagan...
“Dr Hagan said he did not have a problem with Coon appearing on delivery trucks as opposed to being on cheese packets.
"If it's somebody's name and they're Australian I'm not too interested," he said.”
“Dr Hagan said he did not have a problem with Coon appearing on delivery trucks as opposed to being on cheese packets.

Why would I do that?, why don't you? What's stopping you?
That's free speech, it means you have a right to it (and its consequences) it also means you have a right not to.
I'm offended.
Do tell what makes you think I'm 'upset'?, are you assuming emotions from behind a keyboard? If so you'd be wrong.
Maybe read the post again, it's not a 'rant', it explains the coincidence of someones name also being an offensive term, neither are related.
Could you please explain to us all how you correlate this explanation with me being an upset snowflake. Or did you forget to engage your brain before putting keyboard into gear?
Then the nukes would take offence and blow everyone up.
That is not an explanation. Read that post again and then explain.
How is it that my explaining someones surname coincides as a derogatory term and fair reasons why the brand name should not change as my 'upset snowflake' disposition? Could you perhaps extrapolate on the word 'seems'? Or is seems, because of what you think, apply to everyone else?
I'm curious, and I'd guess I'm not alone, as to how you gauge an emotion of another poster from your keyboard let alone haven't met.

Changing of one brand name from Coon to Cheer gets a lot of people hot under the collar. What a sad bunch of muppets to get upset about a commercial decision to change a product name

A company decides to change a brand name from Cheer to Coon. You should see what happens next!

Coon is a poor product in a commodity market
Want to know what determines who sells more block cheddar each week? Whoever is on sale.
Reality is the people upset on this from both sides don't eat this cheese.
I can't believe how fragrantly the C-word has been thrown around in this thread, particularly by many who are railing against it.
Shame on you. SHAME.
Shame on you. SHAME.
Have you got examples of these people?
