I found a tweet from the company clarifying this. And added it to the OP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 22,994 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I actually like that they're removing "Mr" from the brand name. Mr and Mrs are still here, and there are probably other characters without any gender etc. Even without the gender-neutral thing, it's cool that it's making the brand about the Potato Head concept in general and not just an emphasis on the male version. Now the female version is of the same importance instead of being just another version of the main toy. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!

berlinforme 5,391 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This is just pinkwashing like @KanyeWest said. Just drop the 'Mr.' and be done with it and don't act like you're caring so much. Would be much more authentic to change it and don't chase the twitter clout.

Petie Estie 5,736 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 they should've just not announced this at all. Nobody knows the distinction between the potato head "brand" and the actual toy, Mr. Potato Head. lol. I didn't know until today that it was like a whole line of toys that had a name. Now they've pissed off 40% of Americans for no reason making it look like they made Mr. Potato Head gender neutral but they didn't.

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Makes sense. Branding wise it's a broader term for the "species", It'd be better to not have Mr on the box of a female potatoes head or the baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 4,778 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm in the whatever camp on this. But I fear stuff like this is going to push LGBT *almost* allies - who might be on the fence - back toward the wrong side. Like, I'd rather die on a bigger hill than Potato Head, you know? But I might be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
