The lefts latest attempt to marginalize the traditional nuclear family. Nothing shocking here.
Nuclear families have their own pluses and minuses.

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.

Maybe do something more along the lines of Monopoly, where you can buy the woke one if you want, or the “original” if you don’t, plus other less charged themes.

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.


“It’s setting this new standard,” Mierzejewski said.


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



“Hasbro is helping kids to simply see toys as toys, which encourages them to be their authentic selves outside of the pressures of traditional gender norms,” said Rich Ferraro, GLAAD’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

The left has gone FRICKIN NUTS!


There is no excuse for this. Hasbro sucks!


Paul Harvey nailed it in 1965

Seriously, it's not that hard to do a cursory search to debunk this stuff.

Yeah, potato head all right. Half the nation is comprised of potato heads, of all 893,365,012,456 genders.

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. That will solve the gender issue and no one else seems to live in the real world anymore so it won’t matter weather anyone is actually a doctor or not.

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?
