No, admittedly.

But these are not normal times, I think you will agree.

The company even took away the masculine role acceptance shown by "Mister" Potato Head being reduced to "Potato Head." They didn't consult us about our feelings----deep seated feelings.

Story said It's a notable change from one of the world's largest toy makers to untether one of its most famous products from a binary gender identity — something that was far less controversial in 1952, when Hasbro introduced the decidedly male and playfully anthropomorphic tuber. "Hasbro is making sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world by officially dropping the Mr. from the Mr. Potato Head brand name and logo to promote gender equality and inclusion," the company said. The rebranded toy launches this fall.

------------------------

BUT that makes us males feel a lack of "inclusion" if you ask me---which Hasbro didn't.
