Score another one for the WOKE mob
And now 2021 has a mascot. The world has gone full potato.
If your kid is of the age where he plays with Mr Potato and he has gender issues already, then you as a parent need your *** kicked.
If I ever join a cult and drink poison kool-aid.... things like this will be the reason why
Stuff like this is absurd and just takes these issues way too far. Honestly, what was the previous name hurting?
My kids (10 and 13) both liked Mr./Mrs. Potatohead. Especially when you watched as much Toy Story as them.
Some things need to be addressed. This is not one of those things.
"doesn't fit with the modern family"
Dang, maybe instead of focusing of bowing down to the screwed up "family" of today, let's focus on revitalizing "family" and make it OK to be a Mom and a Dad and a couple of kids or so. Go ahead and shoot me, but the destruction of the American "family" is behind a lot of our problems today.

I am glad we were on the forefront of these issues when we band the balloons prior to kick off. The loggerhead turtle population has exploded on our coast.
Totally agree, but I'm sure a couple posters will be happy to let us know.
So adding a couch to the standard kit should allow kids to relate to it / see themselves....
I was told just the other day to use “partners” or “teams” when addressing my work team because I had/have a habit of saying “guys” and apparently it’s not inclusive...... I was more annoyed more than anything but whatever.
Changing Mr. Potatoe’s name though ... that’s a bit far imo. I doubt many people were complaining about his name. Wow

Probably had 6 people complaining. Yelling loudly. That’s woke.
My dad, 77 years old, and I were talking with a high school buddy of his recently (well I was mostly listening as I was taught).
My dad's friend said basically this: "You know what Ted, we were raised and lived the majority or our lives in the best of times, and we are going to die in the worst of times."
Made me think, what would have been like to have been a kid of the 50/60's, young adult to middle aged in the 70/80/90's and then see what we are seeing now. Pretty damn sad.
The thought of what my school aged children will endure is even sadder.

Lol this stupid fvcking country.
I am one of those people. And the word you said is very appropriate: SAD. I can not believe what children see, hear, and learn these days. - Mrs. Shove
How utterly absurd. God please help us. We need it
I know I will sleep better tonight knowing this has been changed. This is just one glaring example of the "slippery slope". We continue to slide down that slope and I do not see a place to grab onto in sight.
lol ah yes addressing the rampant need for gender neutrality in little baby toys.
In the on deck circle
Will be, ahem, shell shocked if Mr. Peanut isn't Peanut before long, though some might find the gender-specific term "nut" offensive.

Yeah let’s not assign genders to kids. Instead let’s let them grow up with little to no council so that they’re hella confused, depressed, angry, and lost when they’re adults. Makes sense to me
You are correct. And all this does, imo, is water down the important stuff that really does need to be addressed.
The Chinese and Russians are going to come over and curb stomp us one day, our newer generations are so busy figuring how to make gender neutral babies they won’t know what hit them. The greatest generation vs these newbies in a field would be like Bama vs Charleston Southern.
Anyone who thinks this is a logical, reasonable decision is literally bat **** crazy. There are two sexes. That’s a scientific, biological fact.
Hmm... Im not such a doom and gloomer. I think stuff like this is really non sense of course and should be treated as non sense. The world now has its faults and so did the world back then. If I'm 70 years old, I don't have youthful optimism to help shape my worldview... Its good to try to be objective and objectively if you were to rate happiness, outside this dumb pandemic's damage, then we've had our quality of life steadily improve.
Old people complain, its what they do. Young people think everything is forever and have optimism ,its what they do. Almost like, its how nature intended.
Another Babylon Bee prophecy is fulfilled
It's ridiculous. Just last night, I saw an ad on TV that made me cringe and declare, "I'm so glad my dad is not around to see this crap. "
Now, mind you, I loved my father more than anything, and dearly wish I could hang out with him again, but I would not want him to see the BS on television now.
Relax guys....this is nothing more than a company trying to stream line production and offerings. It has nothing to do with any 'pressure' they received other than the pressure to increase profits.
