A recent poll conducted by Survey Monkey, with oversight and analysis provided by Public Opinion Strategies, found that 77 percent of Americans believe Hasbro making "Mr. Potato Head" gender neutral is wokeness "going too far."
Toy giant Hasbro is facing backlash today after announcing a rebranding of Mr and Mrs Potato Head which will see the iconic toys become gender neutral.
The change - which will drop the Mr from the Mr Potato Head brand - has sparked fevered debate, with many accusing Hasbro of bending to woke culture by changing a classic toy that has been sold since 1952.
Piers Morgan is among the critics hitting out at woke imbeciles with others pointing out the character identified as male in the Pixar smash hit Toy Story.
US company Hasbro, which revealed the change in a presentation to investors on Thursday, said the gender-neutral name comes as societal roles change; with increasing numbers of single-parent households and same-sex parents.
