Hasbro has also added some listings on CustomInk, which includes an "Optimus Pride" T-shirt and bag, featuring Optimus Prime's head in rainbow tie-dye. These shirts are $25 and the bags are $20, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Youth Pride Inc., a non-profit organization for LGBTQ+ youth in Rhode Island.

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.

Thank you both for your wonderful comments.

Please take that bigotry and nonsense somewhere else. It is not welcome here.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. 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.

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. 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.

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

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.

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 **** parent and guide your child instead of leaving it to media.

Ah, the good ole "but u a bigot" deflection for anyone who is slightly against this stuff... in a world of sticks and stones not breaking bones that is still about the weakest word anyone could use to defend their stance.

The point alot of the people are above making on the "bigot" side is pretty clear, I see from the other side wether you call it woke/democrat/lgbqtiazy+ that you just "love who you love" with "Love" all to often representing a sexual relationship and not just love like a parent should have for a child or like someone's love for their favorite song. When I hear the "love who you love" thing I'm all to often reminded that yes, there are people out there who want to love little kids/animals/men/women even if the love isn't returned. Does this "love who you love" extend to that? Should I keep trying to get into Taylor Swift's house because I want to "love" her?

When you call the other side a bigot its like saying "you haven't tried it yet though, don't knock it if you haven't tried it." To many of these people its almost the same as saying "You havent tried murder, or bank robbery, or any other (insert horrible crime) so don't knock it"

As someone once quoted the Simpson's on this, they said "I haven't tried dying yet either but I'm pretty sure it sucks"

LOL this is gonna be better than the ROTF backlash with Skids and Mudflap.

Continue arguments!

Interesting you say this when only one person has actually called others a bigot...

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. 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.

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. 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.

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

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.

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 **** parent and guide your child instead of leaving it to media.

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.

You hear how stupid you sound yeah?


No, I don't hear how stupid we sound. All I see are well-articulated points from those opposed to promoting woke LGBTQ&%$#@?!=+++ agendas to CHILDREN.

What I find stupid is that those who DO PROMOTE marketing sexuality to children simply quote the well-articulated points and reply with "You Biggot, you stoopid, you no parent good, and me OFFENDED!" That's just lazy.

Sir this is a toy forum, not your weekly revival get-together.

OooOooooooo scary rainbows gonna turn the kids gay!! As if that’s how it works. There’s not a single, utter thing wrong with these (honestly cool as hell) shirts. The only thing there is is misplaced religious handwringing.

Y’all really think Optimus Prime would be anti-gay? Something something Freedom is the right of all sentient beings?
