McDonalds thinks Adventure Time is just for boys

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

McDonalds has made a huge mistake. The fast-food chain just revealed its new Adventure Time Happy Meal line, which conveniently cut out all the female characters. But don't worry girls, McDonald's also has some Paul Frank crap that's pink because Adventure Time is for boys, apparently.

McDonalds has been making gender-centric Happy Meal toys forever, but this time they've gone too far. On January 17th the burger juggernaut will be gifting Adventure Time toys with each Happy Meal purchase. And as you can see from the toys available, all the girl characters were deemed unworthy of a toy (or any mention at all). Where is Lumpy Space Princess, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Tree Trunks, and more importantly WHERE IS PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM?

This is terrible. And, quite honestly, an affront to the very thing that Adventure Time represents. This is a show that had no problem gender swapping the main characters, and did it with panache. The food franchise has offered up a lot of pink Paul Frank merchandise (like a journal) as the girl option. No, thanks. We demand a Fiona and Cake collectable.

Man, you are on a McDonalds kick today. Did you channel-stumble on 'Mac and Me' at 3 in the morning?

Ah...to live in a world where the only problem to complain about is cheap McDonalds toys.

I don't eat at McDonald's anymore although I do find this ridiculous, it's also hardly only a problem with McDonald's. It's a cultural issue that goes through a lot more than cheap fast food toys.

I've never watched that show and from a glance I can see why they think its just for boys.

 

[Teelie]

I've seen it a few times and it has female characters and it can appeal to girls but I don't watch it enough to say one way or another how much it would be interesting to girls.

If your daughter would rather have the Adventure Time toys, then just order the boy one instead of the girl one. Don't be caged in by McDonald's tyrannical sex dividing!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Those Adventure Time toys are the best ones I've seen from that place in years.

Two episodes gender swapped the entire cast. There's an in show reason, but it was just the staff having fun.
