This is a great tip: If you really need to do gender marketing to raise profit, don’t make boring toys that suck, make the cool toys you have more appealing and relatable to girls.
Mora badass girl ninjas, more girls in your advertising, just don’t ignore that girls/women are people and not a marketing stereotypeThis comic implying guys can’t like cafes and horses or…?
I mean they should make a separate toy line cause who knows, instead of an assumption of it trying to appeal to girls, you get boys interested too? Just like not every girl likes cafe, horses, and shopping, there are boys not interested in scifi or adventure themed toys. I think while they are unfortunately falling into a gendered market, they are trying to work their way out of it. Legos always made themed toys in each collection. So, how is a cafe, shopping, and horses themed one any different.
By putting a ponytail on it, are you not adding gender to an inanimate figure that never had a gender to begin with? Like no one made astronaut “astronautess" as the astronaut never had a gender?
I dont understand what theyre complaining about. She complains about the supposedly gendered lego set. I say supposed because we only got a random dude saying theyre for girls. And then she solves the problem by just picking something else. Like whats the problem?

And y’know, like…I dunno. I feel like this reinforces gender stereotypes. Like, obviously if you’re a girl and you like lego you MUST hate all the “traditional” girly stuff. Tbh, I like the fact that a “girls” line gives more options.
Tl;dr: I want to get behind the spirit of this, but it feels like it’s…er…
Just let people enjoy want they want regardless of what “stereotypes” you think it advances, because…you are ironically reinforcing stereotypes…
…just because you don’t like Lego Friends doesn’t mean there isn’t a market for it. I’d rather have literally any Lego set but that but my younger cousin has no issue with them and I’ve seen her build them.
Can you imagine thinking your experience with Lego products lines was universal I mean honestly what kind of entitlement

TIL inside NASA’s Juno probe, it has a plaque dedicated to Galileo with writing in his own hand, and 3 Lego mini figures (Galileo, the Roman god Jupiter, and his sister and wife, the goddess Juno) specially made by the Lego Company using aluminum.
