Eh, if it still contains features that allow you to make it look like a male, but they just also include female features? I don't see that as all that radical, but rather just a way of marketing the toy to a wider audience without having to create two separate versions (one of which I expect sold MUCH better than the other). If they get rid of any features that aren't rigidly gender neutral altogether? Then that's just dumb, and will probably bite them in the butt.

But for a Potato Head, gender really IS an option. I mean the toy has ALWAYS had the ability to add and remove whatever features you want. (Heck, originally, it was JUST features, wasn't it? Didn't it originally require you to supply the actual potato?) Once you take off all the features, you literally cannot tell a Mr. Potato Head from a Mrs. Potato Head. All I'm saying is that from Hasbro's perspective it may make good business sense to just combine the two into one product, even ignoring what the Trans community might think about it.
Heck, somewhere I've got a Happy Meal toy version where it was designed so that you just turn the hat and ears around, and swap out the face, to turn Mr. into Mrs.Last edited by Mister Ed; 02-25-2021, 11:10 PM.

It doesn’t hurt anything if it’s just Potato Head. People freaking out over nothing. And using “castrated” to describe this is ridiculous.

If it didn't matter, then why did they go to the trouble to do it? And why is it all over the news?
It mattered until they deservedly got ridiculed for it.

Stuff like that is what got Trump elected.
The next Trump will probably be much smarter than the first one, and much more successful.
