I was kinda thinking this is just the right wing version of "the enshittification via mass corporatism of all culture" complaint. which like, I agree, why *does* the cracker barrel logo need to look like an app?

but clearly they're insane and can't just be normal about it

Exactly. In any other situation people would just laugh at a logo change like this and move on but there's a thriving right wing media industry dedicated to convincing people that anything that makes them vaguely upset is a serious issue and there's somebody vulnerable to blame for it.

Yeah, this is a terrible change. They're sacrificing an iconic aesthetic (not even the logo so much as the change to what the dining room looks like), but it has nothing to do with the right-wing culture war. This isn't like Pepsi eliminating the Aunt Jemima caricature. It's like HBO becoming Max.
