knownfilmhoe:‘Jurassic World’ dinosaur toys genderswapped to male because of COURSE they wereCurrently on Hasbro’s website you can buy a variety of “Jurassic World” dinosaurs. All them mysteriously re-gendered as male.Why is this happening? Are toy companies so entrenched within the “Boy” aisle vs. the “Girl” aisle that they believe boys won’t play with dinosaurs that are female? Or that girls in general don’t like dinosaurs? And it’s not just Blue who is mysteriously mislabeled as male. Every single major dinosaur character was reworked with new pronouns. The best Hasbro can do? A handful of descriptions use gender-neutral pronouns to skirt the truth that “Jurassic World” is an ovary-fest.Even if Hasbro hadn’t seen the film when writing up these descriptions, is isn’t as if the gender of the dinosaurs is a shocking twist. Anyone at all familiar with the mythology of “Jurassic Park,” you know the dinosaurs are female. A few may have managed to use their frog DNA to become male because “life finds a way” but the majority of the park’s creatures are ladies. “Jurassic World” calls every single one of the dinosaurs by female pronouns. A few misguided souls even tried to deflect criticism of sexism in the film by saying the dinosaurs were all female.UPDATE: Hasbro has switched the gender to female -- source link
