Hasbro said they'd make it "genderless" naming it "Potato Head" and just provide parts so the kids playing with the toys can choose what attachments to put on in order to make it look more like a "Mr," "Ms," or just some mix of both.
Apparently it would only be an addition to the existing Mr and Ms line, so it wouldn't even be replacing them.
Conservatives then went on a tirade online complaining that the left was trying to destroy traditional family roles and indoctrinate the children by preventing them from learning the valuable lesson of family from the Potato Head toys.
No, this isn't satire, they actually got mad over this.
It must be exhausting constantly feeling on edge because you're told to fear/hate random shit.
I'd pity them except they're causing real harm to people I love/care about.
Please don't think of the children. Please.
Just let them be children.
Yeah, children should be in their proper place: coal mines. Smaller workers mean smaller holes. Smaller holes mean smaller effects on the environment. Checkmate, lib.
Please don’t think of the children. Please.
Sure, if you live in La La Land. But if you live in reality, thinking of the children is a must.
What's there to think about?
Yes, they are think of your children. This is why they invite the Tate brothers to come chill in Florida.
