Okay, this is just stupid. It’s a freaking toy!

Is there anything stupider than not reading something before being outraged? :bear:

Google the original Mr. Potato Head from 1952. 

It's already changed. And frankly, for the better. Y'all gotta stop pretending change isn't a normal part of everything's life cycle - even toys.

The majority of the world is not LGBT tho, deciding to change everything gender neutral is gonna ruin the cause & fight of the community because people will look at it as a joke because of marketing things like this. But thats just my 2 cents 

Ok but what about the people working themselves up over the not-even-gender-identity-change? People who are outraged about the gender of a literal plastic potato are setting queer rights back too... or is it SJWs' fault too for pissing them off lmao?

Why not make what we already have more inclusive?

The thread title is so misleading. Mr PotatoHead isn't "gender-neutral"... he's still MISTER PotatoHead. 

So much feigned outrage over a basic misunderstanding. Only the brand name changed, not the actual character. I also hate how the ABC article phrased it.

I kinda enjoy it bc now I know which of you is the kind of person to become outraged over the gender of a literal plastic potato :stalkga:

At the end of the day, it doesn’t make the slight bit of difference in your life if they’re dropping the Mr or Mrs from the name, you could still attach the “female” and “Male” parts to the same bloody potato :bear:

the only reason I could fathom people being upset about “changing something old instead of coming up with something new” is of you still play with the toy :bear: kids aren’t gonna care, so why do fully grown adults care?

Utterly absurd.  

That a potato has a gender in the first place? I thought the same thing!

This is so stupid honestly...who was so "offended" by this to the point the higher ups at Hasbro needed to make this change? :smh:

Idk that anyone was offended, it's just about representation. I wish I had gay figures to look up to as a kid ngl :huntyga:

It's just about normalizing things so that confused and possibly damaged kids can know that the world doesn't hate them and there's nothing wrong with them.

Of course, for the company it's likely just a "yas look how woke we are! Now buy our toys!" thing but still :laughga:

Whimsical bitch
