Boyd added that Hasbro hopes the rebranding will allow for kids to make "little potato families" however they see fit.

I don’t really understand the logic of going gender neutral with this, but I also don’t really see a doom-and-gloom thing happening because of it either.

Dropping the “Mr.” from its name could encourage other companies to stop assigning genders to its toys, a trend that has already been happening, said Mierzejewski. Barbie maker Mattel released a gender-neutral doll line in 2019. But Mr. Potato Head is one of the biggest brands to do so.

GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy group, applauded the genderless toy potato.

We should just award it an honorary doctorate in gender studies. Then we can just call it Dr. Potato Head. In fact, I’m just to call everyone Doctor from now on.

If i remember correctly from sixty years ago, mr. potatohead was some plastic accessories we stuck on a real potato to dress up the potato.
good lord....we were so abused as youngsters decades ago, lol. there wasn't a female potatohead!
this stuff about potatoes is so stupid.
don't we all have other things to be concerned about other than mr. potatohead?
