Hasbro backtracks on Mr. Potato Head

It's too much to hope for to see this and the Hyatt response as a start of corporate pushback against the Left, but it's still nice to see.
Hasbro says character will keep "Mr." after outcry over new gender-inclusive line
The link is from Newsweek, so they're trying to paint the reversal in the most left-positive light, but Hasbro's twitter link makes things pretty clear:

“What do they call you up there in Philadelphia Spud?”
“They call me MISTER Potato Head!”
“They call me MISTER Potato Head!”

"Also we'll be removing 'bro' from Hasbro as it sends the wrong message to girls that they aren't welcome to play with our toys."

You know what?
Good. I love seeing the good guys win every time in these situations.
If cancel culture must exist, i'd rather win.

Quick somebody tell them what to do! They are trying to run a company ffs.
Change it, don’t change it. Maybe grow a spine and learn to stand on principle, perhaps then Hasbro wouldn’t be such a Hasbeen.

Sounds like some pissant millennials in their marketing department got their hands slapped

They need to make a pair of balls to put on Mr. Potatohead to commemorate the event.

When corporations show you who they are, believe them.

I hope that they hold to their guns on this, but JFC.
THIS became an issue? Mr Potato head is divisive?
I’m at a loss at the amount of pussies this country contains and how we let them do what they are doing.

Up next will be... Barbie should have a dick. Ken should come with a two piece bikini!

Crap. I was looking forward to the trans potato head that I could stick a glow stick up it’s arse. It’s probably for the good though since a cool potato head like that would certainly have taken center stage in Toy Story 5.

It's always funny when corporations play the angry mob on both sides for fools to make a few bucks

Now that Trump is gone the moderates are seeing the left in full light and fighting back against them finally.

Good. Idc if they make these people their own stuff to feel better(like they should with their OWN sports)...but dont disrespect the rest of the world by taking away their stuff. Some people still do identify as just men. If you want to be inclusive fine but dont uninclude other people. Dont force people by burning their stuff(analogy) and forcing your beliefs. Just make your stuff and be happy you have the freedom to do this. Comments will be made still just like anyone else but you'll get less push back.

I never understood why they'd get rid of the gender association of a toy vegetable that doesn't have a biological sex from the start.
Who's to say that it isn't a female potato that had hormone injections to grow that 'stache?
I'm just waiting on Mattel to release the trans Barbies and Kens. It will happen.

Not only is this not The Bee, it gets more eyes than any number of truly fricked things.
I flicked myself in the nuts for even checking.
