Hasbro Adds Pride Merchandise Featuring Transformers and More - Proceeds Benefit LGBTQ+ Youth

Gotta get em while they're young and impressional.

The perverts are at it again.... preying on the children. There's nothing to be be proud of in violating the laws of God and taking a chance on eternal damnation.

Please leave your bigotry out. Transformers as a brand has been supporting human rights for a long time now.
And if you don't understand Optimus, what are you doing here: Freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
Also, these products are merchandised for adults.
Love both of the Optimus t-shirts.

Seriously? Transformers is about accepting people and you say that here? As a trans person, I am deeply offended.

Fantastic stuff. Who doesn't like seeing a nice rainbow?

No. It's about two warring factions of giant alien robots who turn into truxx, munkees, punch buggies, and assorted war machines. That's it and after almost 40 years, that's what the MAJORITY truly cares about.

Anyone wanting socio-political alphabet stew drama can transition their channels to Lifetime, Oxygen, MTV, or whatever station is desperately trying to boost their CEI score.

Keep it out of kids' shows and toys which is Hasbro's core demographic.

This is where I have a serious problem with all of this. If someone dares to speak against these types of campaigns, even if respectful, they are labeled a "bigot". Children don't have the life experience or maturity for a lot of things. People can't drink, smoke, drive, join the military, or even open a bank account until they reach a certain age. The reason for all of that is the same. Experience and maturity to make the right decisions. Yet here we are as a society encouraging them to think they are another gender than what biology has determined they are. Adults can be whoever they want to be, that is their choice as someone who has matured to adulthood. A child is not mature enough to make these decisions. I'm all for treating all people the same. I don't support hate speech, I don't support wrecking of Target or Bud Light displays in protest. But I also don't support manipulating the minds of the most impressionable people on the planet to make them believe they are something they probably aren't. I certainly don't support them getting drug or surgical treatment to affirm what they were manipulated to be. Gender dysmorphia is a mental health issue and should be studied and treated as such, with a lot counseling and in some cases medication. We don't affirm suicidal people by telling them to just go jump off a bridge. So why are we affirming people that think they are a member of the opposite sex with medical science and transforming them? If all of this were so natural, then why doesn't the ability to change gender naturally occur? I couldn't have been done 100 years ago. It's only now with the medical science it can be done. Yet, it still can't provide reproductive organs or change chromosomes. It's all fake and covered up. It's putting on a mask to hide from reality. It addressing insanity with more insanity. But when we point these things out, we are written off as bigots. We aren't bigots, we're thinking with a clear and rational mind. We are tired of being told we have to accept it. We sure as hell are tired of our children being manipulated.

*points above to a few posts* And that's why we keep getting merch like this

Seriously though, Pride Month is all about promoting acceptance of people who do not adhere to the "heterosexual norm" and as such are treated as "inferior" while they are not. Nothing more, nothing less. And I'm all for that!

No, no it isn't.

Oh no! Someone on the internet said something you didn't like? Say it isn't so! Grow up and get over it. It has 0 bearing on your life.

As for anyone who doesn't like this move by Hasbro, relax. It's a business, and they try to make money any way they can, utilizing what's in the headlines. It's just smart marketing.

The best way to oppose it is to just spend your money elsewhere. Bitching about it on a 2nd rate website for geeks will have no effects whatsoever.

So what about minor-attracted people, bestiality, or necrophiliacs? They don't adhere to the "heterosexual norm" and are treated as "inferior". Rise of the Beasts would be a great opportunity to show support for the "animal lovers" out there.

If it's just about promoting different lifestyles then promote them all, including heterosexuals. I'll tell you why. Because it's not about Pride it's about bloated companies trying to remain commercially viable by boosting their CEI scores and targeting to children. And for the record, Gays Against Groomers, who OBVIOUSLY don't adhere to the "heterosexual norm" aren't all for this.

Their being offended also has 0 bearing on your life. So "grow up and get over it."

A lesbian wants to have sex with a woman. Can you really not discern the difference between a woman and a girl? An animal? A corpse? Is the line between woman and corpse really blurry enough for you to see that as a slippery slope?

If it's just about promoting different lifestyles then promote them all, including heterosexuals.

They said it's about promoting acceptance of different lifestyles; do you feel you're no longer accepted somewhere because of your heterosexuality?

I'm strictly talking "man with woman" here. Nothing more, nothing less. Those groups you speak of aren't even included in the LGBTQIA+, so why bring them up?

Because the majority of people who speak out against these things do so because of their bigotry. They make no secret of their hatred and disapproval of lifestyles different to theirs.

Children don't have the life experience or maturity for a lot of things.
People can't drink, smoke, drive, join the military, or even open a bank account until they reach a certain age. The reason for all of that is the same.

Parenting. It all comes down to parenting. They're not being encouraged to be another gender, they're being encouraged to be accepting of those that are different to them.

Adults can be whoever they want to be, that is their choice as someone who has matured to adulthood. A child is not mature enough to make these decisions. I'm all for treating all people the same. I don't support hate speech, I don't support wrecking of Target or Bud Light displays in protest.

P-A-R-E-N-T-I-N-G

Interesting point ... but ... trans people have actually been around for centuries. History has proven this and it's occurred in many societies over centuries. Like you said, science is now at the point where people can fully transition.

Yet, it still can't provide reproductive organs or change chromosomes. It's all fake and covered up.

See, I'm going to read into this a little bit here, it almost feels like you're saying "a person isn't a specific gender unless they can have children". So if a woman can't have children (like my partner) does that mean she's not a woman?

It's putting on a mask to hide from reality. It addressing insanity with more insanity.

No ... just no.

But when we point these things out, we are written off as bigots. We aren't bigots, we're thinking with a clear and rational mind.

Clear mind? No ... if you were thinking clearly you'd see more than just "it's a mental disorder" Do your research.

We are tired of being told we have to accept it. We sure as hell are tired of our children being manipulated.

Then be a fucking parent and guide your child instead of leaving it to media.

Because you said it's all about promoting people who don't adhere to "heterosexual norms" and who are treated as inferior. All of those groups fall under that banner. It IS LGBTQIA+ and NOT LGBTQIA period, as in full stop. The '+" literally means WHATEVER WE DECIDE TO INCLUDE IN THE FUTURE. Given a little time, those groups will be added. I can promise you that and they WILL market it to children.

Again, the Gays Against Groomers organization DO NOT SUPPORT this woke ideology.

I wouldn't think so. We got laws against them for good reason. And the + is simply for whatever synonyms they come up with from what I've seen.

That's not what the "+" means.

The "+" means "positive".

Ahhhhh, gotcha. A little piece of ignorance has been replaced with a little bit of knowing...
