But no. They took the "Pink no for boys" tactic. And said it like we are fools for asking. It's the same mentality that made Cartoon Network cancel Young Justice. This line is aims squarely at boys. GIRLZ NUT ALOUD! GIRLZ BAD!

Exactly. There's nothing inherently wrong with the color change and if kids really did like it better, fine. But, the fact that instead it was the result of this sexist mindset is what makes it so problematic, at least to me.
