Good points. I’m not entirely bothered with the current state of affairs re: lego variety and uniformity. I think both people who enjoy building from scratch and those who enjoy sets can be satisfied with the current Lego offerings.
What I intensely dislike is people putting down other people just because they enjoy a _toy_ (something meant to elicit sharing and enjoyment) in a different way than theirs.
- richardw 5y agoWhy do you intensely dislike words on a website? I have an opinion about a toy, I’m not intensely disliking people who use it differently. I said nothing about those people. When she’s older, we might be those people. Play the Lego blocks, not the man.
- elteto 5y agoGood question. It’s because it relates to previous, real life experiences when people have tried to gatekeep things from me, or passed judgement on me for doing something “different” when the subject at hand was completely inconsequential, like whether I play with lego sets or not.
- richardw 5y agoSorry, didn’t mean to do that. I was honestly self-mocking in how it needs to be done how I did it, obviously the innovation allows so many more ways to play. Another friend’s wife buys the more complicated sets and admits they’re actually for her, not for her kids. All good, they’ll grow into it :)
- elteto 5y agoHey, this was a very good conversation by Internet standards :) Thanks for trying to understand where I was coming from. I should have done the same perhaps, I totally missed the self deprecation in your original comment. Text is such a poor substitute for real life conversations... but on the other hand we never would have interacted if it wasn't for this "text". Sometimes I feel so ambivalent about the Internet...
