On Tuesday, A&W appeared to go “woke” after they took action against their Rooty the Great Root Bear mascot, who for decades has remain untouched.

In a Twitter post, the company said that Rooty would now be wearing denim pants because he is “polarizing” without them.

“America, let’s talk. Since 1963, Rooty the Great Root Bear has been our beloved spokesbear. We knew people would notice because he’s literally a 6-foot tall bear wearing an orange sweater,” the company said. “But now we get it – even a mascot’s lack of pants can be polarizing.”

“We are confident Rooty will continue to champion good food & good times for many years to come…now in denim,” they wrote.

The news was not well received.

Popular conservative best selling author Nick Adams launched a boycott after the news was released.

“It starts with A&W forcing Rooty the Root Bear to wear pants, and it ends with the government arresting alpha males for manspreading in public,” Adams blasted. “I am calling for a complete and total boycott of A&W Root Beer until they FREE ROOTY. Drink Mug!”
