Now every kid can use one

Well isn't that interesting.

Just wait.  We'll probably get some front page quotes saying that Hasbro is giving in to the "politically correct left" and speeding up the emasculation of boys and men in this country or some such retarded garbage.

Now to wait for some kid to complain that they are only doing it to broaden their customer base to make more money

[ThunderWulf]

I honestly think that's quite awesome of Hasbro.  Though I do agree that they are DEFINITELY going to catch a fair amount of flak over this.

[Alehksunos]

Considering that Hasbro's score on the Corporate Equality Index was a 45, showing a decent amount of support for "Heteronormativism"... Yeah, they're going to get chewed by anti-LGBT activists, but fuck those people anyway.

[Auggziliary]

They could make a few different colors for it too, so that girls(or boys) that liked the pink and purple design can still have theirs.

Because of course, we all know boys can't work in kitchens.  Why, whoever heard of a male chef?!

Meh.  They'll get over it.  If not... meh.

They said they're expanding the color schemes offered, as opposed to removing the current one.

What makes this extra funny is that Bobby Flay was one of the people helping promote the girl's idea.

You haven't had a brownie as a kid until it's come from an Easy Bake oven.  My sister and I can well attest to that fact.

... now I want to make brownies.  Weekend cooking!

Good for you Hasbro.  Truthfully I think MLP had some to do with this because it showed their staff that ultimately some boys play with girl toys.

It says they're still making the pink and purple.

I'm not sure which one I'd rather have, if I were a kid.  But then, I never had an Easy-Bake, because Mom made sure I got just enough opportunities to help her bake cookies for real, that I had little desire for one.

[Witchyjoshy]

In all honesty, I wanted one when I was a little kid, too.

Then again, I also wanted a barbie, go figure.

[Auggziliary]

I actually never had one because I thought they were scary. I had nightmares about somehow getting my hand stuck in one and getting burned or something. I was a weird kid.

Your fear was not far off.  Apparently you could put fingers in put not pull out
