But thats just my 2 cents Fair. Most of the potatoes I've met don't have a gender, but maybe you've met a potato that does? Feel free to share that story I'll be waiting.

DirrtyPony 1,330 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I guess there is no harm in another option. I'm more interested to see how these will sell compared to Mr. and Mrs. I wonder what kids are going to naturally gravitate towards.

CautiousLurker 19,954 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 FINALLY, the representation we all NEEDED - no doubt this will usher in a cultural shift we've been waiting for, NO LONGER shall the oppressive institution of gender slither into every crack of our collective psyche and wreak havoc with its suspiciously phallic tentacles, NOT while our hero Potato is looking over us It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony31511 319 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I appreciate the fact that they're being progressive and acknowledging the LGBTQ+ community, but I don't really see how it's necessary to drop the "Mr."? I mean, wasn't Mr. Potato Head a male character since the beginning? They are basically taking away his original gender just for the sake of not being cancelled by far-leftists in the future. I think they could have kept Mr. Potato Head and introduced new potato characters that are genderless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rj Barker 3,331 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well I see that the media has riled you all up nicely. ABC, sky etc all reporting that Mr potato head is no more etc. You can still purchase a Mr. Potato head and a Mrs potato head. Just the brand name has slightly changed. Why yall so bothered. It's a potato. Jesus christ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just like Charlie's Angels "feminist" woke reboot that just hurts the movement more than help it. It's fake useless activism that makes causes look like a joke. Yes it's just a damn plastic toy, but replacing well known "characters", whether movies, toys, comic books into genderless characters out of nowhere is fake as hell, and a marketing strategy so it's not honest at all, and it's becoming a trend now with brands. I also wonder why they chose Mr Potato Head and not Mrs Potato Head, maybe they can make the Mrs a nonbinary lesbian transgender woman next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
