Toymaking company Hasbro has decided to lose the ‘Mr’ from Potato Head in a gender-neutral rebrand. The company, which has been making the potato-shaped plastic toy for nearly 70 years, announced that this was done in an effort to make sure “all feel welcome in the Potato Head world.” Hasbro clarified in a tweet that the Mr and Mrs Potato Head characters will still exist, names and all, but the branding on the box will say “Potato Head.” It soon turned into a polarising subject, like everything else on the internet. Some welcomed the change, some refuted it, and some others thought it was bizarre to reassign the gender of a plastic toy. A Forbes article supported the toymaker’s impulse towards a gender-neutral toy as it’s closer to the actual science of potatoes. “Whether potatoes or people, gender is more complicated than simple binaries. Potatoes are male, female, and asexual — all at the same time.” Source: AP
