Hasbro is the latest toy company to embrace inclusivity by removing the gender from its Mr. Potato Head brand.
The announcement yesterday said the reason was so that all potato head fans “will feel welcome in the Potato Head world.”
You’d think this would be a non-controversial change since a potato doesn’t exhibit any obvious biological assignment.
