>>8382495The XIX century is calling. They want their stereotypes back.
>>8382470You are actually right.
The Rebelle line was doomed from start because Hasbro marketing drones actually believed
>>8382495 - not realizing that, for more than half a century (you'd believe they'd have noticed by now...) women's fashion is "dress as a woman, or dress as a man and call it «unisex»", while man's fashion has been "dress as a man, or be called faggot". Proof: fucking look down the street and count "women in pants" vs "men in skirts" (and no, Scotland totally doesn't count).
They made great effort to do a pink colored line to "atract girls", and with that didn't atract more girls (which are not adverse tio use "boy's blasters") yet made a line that many boys (and worse, many boy's PARENTS) didn't want.
The money spent on that, if they wanted to sell more blasters to the femenine public, would have been better invested in marketing Nerf as an inclusive hobby. But they fucked.
TL;DR: Hasbro made a poor marketing choice! More news at 11!
