"Mr" Potato Head no more: de-genderists have taken over Mattel.

Hasbro announced the change as it launched a "Create Your Potato Head Family" kit, with two potato parents and a potato baby, made for "modern families."

Such progress we've made. Marsha P. would be so proud!

Is there a Potato Head that nods off on smack, shows up a day later and takes all the credit? Would love to see the accessories.

Yes, it comes with a purse, a "kit" and a spoon, but that's the de-gendered "Sylvia" Potato Head.

My mother told me this morning, I said “This will be more exciting for kids! More pieces!” Not even because of the gendered part, now you get both Mr and Mrs. potato head!

What about Barbie dolls?

First they came for Christmas and I said nothing. Now they've come for Mr. Potato Head's penis

What a world

Don’t ask. Don’t Mattel.

I read that they are "giving the spud a gender neutral name" and briefly thought there was going to be some big reveal with a new and fabulous name - Taylor or xe or something. But, it's just Potato Head without Mr.

But, what about the OTHER issues - Potato Head is limited to brown potatoes of one size. What about red and Yukon gold and petite - among many other varieties. There's a Native American child somewhere who can't fully enjoy playing with this toy.

I gave up on them when they took their pipe away.

So what are them/they/zees pronouns?

Just call xem scalloped, mashed, baked (with butter sour cream, and chives) hash browns, taker tits or home fries.

Another cultural icon falls vicitim to the tranny mob. Will they ban Toy Story now since Mr. Potatohead is a prominent character?

Oh goodie. More pieces for kids to swallow or choke on. Don't worry. They'll show up in 3 days.

First they came for Mr. Pibb and I said nothing because unlike OP I am not a fat whore…

Oh goody. Some distractive performative outrage for Fox News to waste 4-5 news cycles on.

Hasbro says Mr. and Mrs. PH are going nowhere, FWIW.

Now the gender issue has been dealt with, Mr. P has become a race issue.

Is Al Roker a DL icon?

He looks like Mr. Potato Head.

It is a war on men and therefore a proxy war on gay men.

OP posted NBC News, R15. Do you even read articles or just headlines?

Why not keep Mr Potatohead and offer a Ms Potatohead and let kids decide which one they want?

by Anonymousreply 27February 27, 2021 11:07 AM

Because that's transphobic, R27, you transphobic cisf@gg0t TERF piece of shit! Non-trans pronouns are transphobic because not transitioning is transphobic.

Wish I kept my original Mr. Potato Head kit. I wasn't a destructive child, most of my toys were in excellent shape when I gave them away. Over the years, I did replace some items, but it's not the same, because these items are not mine.

Same with my older sister, she had three Barbie doll cases, filled with well made Barbie clothes (the original Barbie/Ken clothes were Made in Japan and extremely well made, not that cheap looking crap that passes for Barbie clothes now), with all the dolls, including Ken, Alan, Midge, Skipper and her boy doll friend, forgot his name. My sister also had the doll whose hair 'grew', Tressy. All these items were in mint condition, my sister gave everything away when she was a teen. It goes without saying, she regrets getting rid of her doll collection.

This has nothing to do with trans.

Of course, the trans obsessed crazies can’t tell the difference between gender neutral/non-binary and trans. And in other threads, they can’t tell the difference between intersex and trans. Low IQ bigots.

There's been a Mrs. Potato Head since 1953, R27.

Mrs Potato was not real, like black Barbie is not real

He is not real since there is not real potato to make with face, back in old days was potato.

So what?! When we used real potatoes back in the day, we made Mr. Mutant Potato Head, Mr. Cyclops Potato Head, Mr. Nose Bitten Off By a Dog Potato Head, Mr. Van Gogh Potato Head, etc.!

It's Mr. Potato HEAD, not Mr. Potato Genitalia!

R4, It's been obvious from the beginning that Ken is an FtM.

Please realize that for verage Trans Agenda enthusiasts and fauxgressive loons this IS the actual "progress" they find vitally important!

Will ANY voices at all this year be speaking to the pure fiction of Marsha P. Johnson's meager at best (and dressed as a man) involvement at Stonewall, or will Gay Pride Month continue into its modern Trans Woman of Color Pride Month narrative?
