Hasbro Makes Mr. Potato Head Toy Line Gender-Neutral, Drops The 'Mr.'

Mr. Potato Head is catching up with the times, he's now just Potato Head ... and it's all about getting rid of traditional gender norms.

Hasbro is dropping the"Mr." and rebranding its iconic spud toys this fall, giving children a blank canvas to create a potato family however they see fit. The toy giant says it wants to move away from the nuclear family and give kids a chance to go with what feels natural to them ... build whatever kinda potato fam ya want, and those spuds can wear whatever they want.It's a huge shift for Hasbro ... the company launched the OG Mr. Potato Head way back in 1952, and followed it up the next year with a Mrs. Potato Head complete with her own set of accessories.

Now, Hasbro says the new toy sets won't present kids with the same family structure you played with as a tyke.

Y’all canceled a potato!

Really?!? That’s stupid.

Um, okay while inclusiveness is great, when they’re actively trying to do away with a segment of the population, that is literally the polar opposite of inclusive: “The toy giant says it wants to move away from the nuclear family...” inclusive means to “include” not “replace”.

THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!

Wtf is going on in this world.

Waiting for Hasbro to drop the bro in it’s name. It’s not gender neutral and I’m sure someone is offended 🥴🙄🥴

This is getting ridiculous

🥴🥴🥴 I’m so over with extremists 😂

Why? There was always a Mrs. Potato Head! Oh... they want a Trans Potato Head! lol 😂 This is getting ridiculous!

Love it.

Nope😤. Im not going. He didn't have to change. Its ok to be a male😭😭😭

God is ready 2 burn this MFkr down

I object.

Oh thank, God! Finally!! Now everything will be OK!

And just like that transphobia is CURED

Gender neutral shouldn't take over. Most of us identify as male or female. I'm part of the LGBTQ+. I am gay and I am a man and I identify as male.

Overheard conversation: Speaker 1: “They’re taking the Mr. away from Mr. Potato Head, what kind of world are we living in 😩?” Speaker 2: “I know 🤬! Next they’re going to take our 🍆’s away 😱.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I never thought of him with or without gender. Just potato. Should I have been? Have I been eating potatoes privates?

Statement from Hasbro

Wrong

Stay hot with false reporting. Loser dicks

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Ya know there are still men and women here too. Just like there are members of the LGBTQ community. No one was angry about the potato.

and the American negros still poor

Fucken stupid

Won’t last long

I cannot live on this planet anymore.

I’d like to see the huge group of people who were offended by a potato being called “Mr”... please tell me who these people are. Lol.

LMFAOOO GAY

Buy a real potato and draw a face on it if you want gender neutral.

It’s a fucking potato, how did this turn into a controversy?

From the brand name theres still a Mr and Mrs Potato Head y’all just tryna get clicks
