Even among younger consumers -- who tend to be more accepting of gender fluidity and conscious of brand values in general -- opinions on Potato Head’s name change were more negative than positive: 45 percent of millennials said they disagreed with Hasbro’s decision, compared with 30 percent who said they supported the move.
