Those LEGO sets are pretty badass, even if they are mainly pink and baby blue.

>Thinking that feminist are of any threat at all

God forbid someone suggest little Suzie get the death star lego set instead of that shit.

The Lego factory is completely automated. Machines control everything. They don't even run the lights in it anymore because the robots don't have eyes to see.

BTW, they can, they just don't want to.

>>197603474

>>197603587
>triggered

Well...I mean...it's a valid point.

I've always thought of legos as largely asexual to begin with. Why DO we need "Girl" legos?

>>197604192
LEGO was selling like 90% to boys. Apparently the solution that some feminists suggest is to just put more female minifigs in the sets.

LEGO's solution was aggressive marketing and a pretty risky venture into girl specific LEGO sets.

>>197604538
With the kind of profits LEGO gets, it's not like they stand to go out of business.

>>197604192
Perhaps more boys started wanting the sets with transparent chainsaws and stuff. I know when i was younger I loved the Rock Raiders sets. At that point they could still be made into other stuff fairly easily though.

If the older sets were still available then the trouble with having new sets comprised of specific pieces, essential limited in building options, wouldn't be as severe. As it has been for a while, It's less about building and more playing with the set.

>>197604971
not NOW, anyway, but going out of business was very much a possibility for LEGO before they got hold of their now very lucrative licensing deals.

Why don't girls play with regular Legos? People say that girls don't get into STEM fields because they're not encouraged to, namely with engaging toys like Legos instead of dolls, but what is Lego supposed to do about it if they simply don't want regular Legos? What's wrong with getting their attention with something more girl-oriented?

>>197605861
if a word becomes common nomenclature, it loses its trademarks. e.g. Escalators used to be "Escalator moving stairs" The brand name escalator became a common term, and it is no longer a trademarked term.

>>197605861
Big companies are always specific about how they want people to refer to their stuff. There's even been a few of those for vidya floating around somewhere, but I can't remember which ones.

"Legos" sounds to me like saying "sands" for grains of sand.

>>197603115 (OP)

Wh are feminists so fucking retarded?
There are no Legos that work for girls and boys.

The majority of Boys and girls think different from eraly age on and they seperate more and more over the years.

What? Most of them do. Bricks are just bricks. It's only when you push specific "boyish" or "girly" themes on the sets by including specific props and presenting the product in a certain way that it becomes "for boys" or "for girls".

>>197607918
No, son, it's how language works. "Legos" may be common where you're from, but where I'm from, you sound like a retard from a land of retards.

These is nobody on this damn planet who could convince me that feminists are reasonable people. Nobody.

It's named LEGO, lego bricks or lego sets.
One lego, more lego. The only thing that's named LegOS is the firmware for Mindstorms.

>>197608093
If spasing out on the Internet is how people get their kicks where you're from, more power to you. However, nobody calls legos "LEGO bricks or toys", just as nobody says "I believe this image has been altered by Adobe Photoshop® image editing software" when he sees a picture of your mother's nigger-dick-stretched cunt because a) nobody cares to and b) it wouldn't be true.

Actually, everyone says "Lego bricks" here, because "Legos" isn't a thing. You can also use "Lego" as an uncountable noun: "let's play with Lego!" "Look at all that Lego" etc.

"Legos" sounds like something a simpleton would come up with.

Gee, maybe it's because the gender-neutral legos WEREN'T SELLING TO GIRLS. THAT'S WHY THEY MADE THE GIRL-ORIENTED LEGOS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The Lego company has stated several times that they do not want people to say "Legos".
Lego comes from "Leg godt", and by saying Legos you rape the heritage of this glorious invention.
Just say Lego instead of Legos you fucking imbecile.

>>197610210
I thought the problem was that Lego used to be gender neutral but the marketing shifted towards boys over time.

>Why can't they play with regular legos

because then it was 90% boys that wanted lego?

>Why can't they just play with regular Legos?

What's stopping you from getting them regular Lego sets instead of the girly sets?

>>197610653

Lego still makes gender neutral sets, in fact it's their biggest range. However, if girls aren't interested in them, it's hardly the fault of The Lego Company.
