Canceling Cancel Culture

"It's time for Republican states to secede," media analyst Mark Dice wrote on Twitter for his more than 600,000 followers and included a post about the news. Conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro also sarcastically tweeted about the story, while radio host Eric Erick Erickson added further mockery. What raised their ire? Mr. Potato Head, or rather, the possibility of the toy's manufacturing company Hasbro dropping the "Mr." from his title for a more gender inconclusive image. Anyone worried about him losing the distinction can now rest easy knowing he technically won't be.

Today, perhaps in an attempt to stem criticisms that also included Fox News' Sean Hannity running a segment under the headline "Mr. Potato Head Canceled," Hasbro followed up on yesterday's announcement that Mr. Potato Head would now be sold under the more neutral monicker of Potato Head. The company clarified that the toy line would receive the new name change from "Mr. Potato Head" to "Potato Head" this coming fall, but the actual character of Mr. Potato Head would still retain his male-associated distinction of being a "mister."

In a tweet today, Hasbro wrote: "Hold that Tot – your main spud, MR. POTATO HEAD isn't going anywhere! While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the 'MR.' I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren't going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD."

While both Mr. Potato Head and his spud spouse Mrs. Potato Head still have the prefixes attached to their names in a picture of the new, not-yet-released boxes of the toys included in the tweet, the names are less prominently displayed than before. Their names now appear at the bottom of the package and in a smaller font than the more colorful "Potato Head" adorning the top.

They can't do much to Ken he never had the goods anyway.

Pauvre Ken. Non couilles et baton.

The weird thing is that whilst they are trying to push non-binary neutral gender identity toys for kids at the same time they are advocating dolls for babies that have anatomically correct genitals.

They are a messed up lot that's for sure.

I guess that's so they can decide on what they don't want to be.

Or maybe a bit of early indoctrination by directing their kids to play with what they want them to play with?

Maybe they could make um like Mr. Potato Head where you can add a dong or remove it.

That might give um worse ideas Lol

Transition dolls and ok I'm just gonna shut up about the whole thing now before I get carried away! Lol
