I convinced one of the largest toy companies,

世界數一數二的玩具製造商，Hasbro

When this whole shebang happened, he was four.

He was always getting ingredients out of the fridge

他總是把所有材料從冰箱中拿出

and mixing them into these, needless to say,

特別是給一個希望成為廚師的孩子

有什麼比玩具烤箱組更棒的呢？

I mean, we all had those when we were little.

But then, he started to realize something.

In the commercials and on the boxes for the Easy Bake Oven,

Hasbro marketed them specifically to girls.

was they would only feature girls on the boxes or in the commercials,

在廣告及包裝盒上只放女孩的照片

and there would be flowery prints all over the ovens,

而玩具烤箱表面也用了許多印花圖案

and it would be in bright pink and purple.

顏色設計上用了亮眼的粉紅色及紫色

Very gender-specific colors to females, right?

這樣的包裝似乎在傳遞著這樣的訊息

He thought that he wasn't supposed to want to be a chef.

他覺得他不應該想要成為一名廚師

Or so, the message that Hasbro was sending.

"God, I wish there was a way I could change this,

「天啊！我真希望自己可以改變這一切

that I could have my voice heard by Hasbro,

that I had learned about a few months prior

Change.org is an online petition-sharing platform,

and share it across all these social media networks,

through YouTube, through Reddit, through Tumblr,

along with a YouTube video that I added to the petition,

in featuring boys in the commercials and on the boxes,

讓男孩也出現在他們的廣告及包裝盒上

and most of all creating them in less gender-specific colors.

國內新聞媒體和雜誌社都找上我

I had 46,000 signatures on this petition.

It was like "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

What I didn't realize at the time, however,

I could change something that, even as a kid,

雖然只是個孩子，我也有能力改變事物

I want to let you know that it's not going to be easy,

People online, and sometimes even in real life,

because what's better revenge than displaying their idiocy?

還有什麼會比把他們的愚昧公諸於世更好的復仇

"Disgusting liberal moms making their son's gay."

他說 : 「噁心的自由主義媽媽會把兒子養成同性戀」

"People always need something to 'female dog' about."
