It don't bode well for Mr Bean
what's going to happen about sausages ? too phallic  :-\ or does "Donna the kebab" and donuts cancel that out and make the woke balance right  ?
what a crazy world we live in  >:(

....or Mr Benn.

I suppose he will need to get changed in a gender free changing booth, before he goes on an adventure to fight gender free lions and tigers.

Not sure what is happening to Mrs Potato Head, maybe she will be self identifying as a non gender specific root vegetable?  ;D

FFS!  :-X

Not strictly true. The manufacturers Hasbro have stated that the name of the toy will simply be Potato Head with no "Mr", however the characters will remain Mr & Mrs. So a slight nod to PC-ness but not really so dramatic. Mr & Mrs Potato Head have been around for some time. It really is just a very minor brand adjustment.

Well let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story!  :)

Why the need for 'adjustment'?

Why the necessity for Hasbro to demonstrate gender neutrality?

99% of the world are happy with being gender specific. 1% of the world are not. Yet it seems the the 99% will need to fall into line with the woke 1%.

 The words Man, woman, boy, girl, husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, Mr and Mrs......have been around for thousands of years because they are apt, and they work. If it ain't broke don't fix it, least of all for the 1% of misfits.

Sorry, missed it

But happy to re-emphasize the point that there has been quite an anti-PC pile-on about quite a trivial matter that is well explained in the video. There is a danger that some will see excessive wokeism where little or none exists. In this case the toy now includes lots of different Potato Heads, so they removed the very specific "Mr". As a purely commercial business decision, this makes complete sense to me, and I am certainly not one of the woke gender neutral loony left.
