One of Hasbro's most popular toys will become gender neutral. 9News

Mr Potato Head, which has been sold since 1952, will now drop the 'Mr' from it's name.It is understood the change is to better reflect the current societal climate that has seen gender neutrality become a consideration when it comes to the design of everything from toys to clothing and even to how children are being raised.

"The legendary toy Mr Potato Head, a toy that has brought joy to millions of little boys and little girls, that you put the different features on – give him fuzzy eyebrows and a different smile, well he is the latest victim of cancel culture."Of woke political correctness gone mad. It is a shocking story, it is a disgrace.One critic of the move sarcastically tweeted: "My child is a gender neutral potato toy and he/she finally feels seen for the first time in his/her life.

One of the harshest criticisms of the move came from someone who suggested the choice to live gender neutral is "a sign of mental health issues".

Hasbro, Say hello to Gillette as you plummet in sales. So sad. 'Get Woke, Go Broke'.

It’s better you only have to buy one potato head and you still make it any way you want to make it instead of buying a male and a female. Less money spent .. 👍🏼👍🏼

Well....now adding Hasbro to my 'Get woke, go broke' list....

Lucky I'm old this World is completely fucked.

Of ffs.

Disappointed in channel 9. Thought I would switch from sky to see the 6pm news. Not one word yet on the dumb, Steven Miles tearing up the invoice, they owe to NSW. This is why I watch sky, no proper news on channel 9, only what viewers need to know.

Potatoe Patatoe..

So all will have same facial features, same cheekbone shape, same hair style? Oh but wait they can NEVER have the same number of ribs because God made that different for females and males - irrefutable evidence of gender just as XX and XY are in genetics. Correctness gone mad.

War is peace Freedom is slavery Ignorance is strength... World is going backward.

Ben your right you can't tell children what to play with thay'll make that decision themselves, these days girl's play pro football and that's because thay picked up a ball as a child an some men are ballet dancers I guess because thay once put a skirt on, so let's just move on.

How strange and silly.

What a joke

Stop it-Let me off!

this is ridiculous. I'm going to start a class action on my rights as a Mrs!!!!!

Except Mr Potato Head has a big fuck-off moustache..!! 🤔

Dear MSM, If there is an hell you all go there!

The U.S. has lost it .

Oh fuck off!!! 🤦‍♀️

Breaking: It's a very slow news day.

What a horrible lady. my way or your wrong attitude. has the cheek to diss his like of sport because she is not a fan but happy to force her will. Fuck this gender crap Boy or Girl that's it.

Stop the world I wanna get off.

Waiting for triggered RWNJs in the comments.

Get fucked

This is disgusting transgender propaganda targeting very young children - deliberately confusing them on gender and normalising gender-fluidity and transgenderism. What's next? Sex-worker Barbie? The anti-SWERF & TERF mafia strike again.

Better drop the 'bro' or change it to Wasbro next.

No one cares!

except it won't, they will still be called Mr and Mrs potato head there will just be one box, one potato and all the parts.

Stupid shit has started......

Why?

the world has gone fuckin mad

'You sure this'll help us sell more toys?' 'Toys?'
