Do people throw darts at the wall to decide what they are going to be offended about today or do they draw them out of a hat? Yes. That's why they're doing this. Offended SJWs.
It's definitely not some sort of fake corporate "wokeness" to earn good PR and make it look like it seems progressive or anything.
It was because someone was offended.

But what's Darth Tater's opinion on this? Funny unrelated story: My mom got my younger brother a NY Giants themed Mr. Potato Head for Christmas a long time ago and treated it more as a gag gift than anything else. But my brother absolutely loved it, so every year until she passed, she would try and find him the weirdest Mr. Potato Head that she could find. He has most of the Star Wars ones, as well as Buzz Lightyear (Spud Lightyear), and the Indiana Jones one. That is awesome! I love it.

nowhere in the article does it say anybody was offended, this entirely is the decision of Hasbro Give it a while before they say that he's a symbol of Toxic Masculinity and Male Oppression. They've already gone and said that Ghosts N Goblins is sexist as well. That article also doesn't display a group of people being offended outside of the writer making a pretty valid point (whilst still praising the game otherwise). Perhaps the one really offended...is you?

Hey guys, let's go easy on the "You're offended/No, you're offended" stuff.

I'm so old that my original Mr. Potato Head from when I was a kid came with the pipe accessory.

For the most part, children don't give a shit about the gender terms of their toys. A kid uses their imagination. They can turn a cardboard box into a spaceship. Even in Toy Story, Andy turned his pig money box into a supervillain.
