    I don't understand why this has turned into a sociological debate, when Hasbro clearly stated that they don't intend to have Political messages/support on toys (Politicians... not political correctness ideologies).

    Completely different concepts people.

    One concept is about a Politician or their party (as in, the people you vote for)... the other concept is about social ideology and political correctness (as in, concepts in general society, that may or may not be policies by politicians) Sometimes they can be related, like when a Politician advocates or opposes an ideological cause (like gay rights), but in the case of this Jazz toy, they are not related - MAGA was a general Trump slogan (not advocating/opposing a specific policy or ideology), and this toy gives people the impression that Hasbro supports Trump or the Republicans.

    So maybe we should at least leave the unresolvable ideological debates, to topics that it actually relates to (which it doesn't on this Jazz toy), as it will never have people agreeing to opposing opinions (as seen here with just a handful of people)... which spoils topics like these for being off-topic.

    That's not the "political" Hasbro were referring to. They are stating that they don't intentionally support a political party with their toys... not the word "political" as in "ideology".

    I totally missed the news about the expected running change actually happening (posted on May 31st), but those Jazz toys are now showing up in American stores as part of the third wave.
    So if you are a fan of Jazz, or just want one without the four letters, the Terrorcon wave will have the (very minor) variant toy with them.

    I think this conversation needs to take place. It's been brewing for sometime and it was bound to come up on the boards sooner or later.
