Is Lego Sexist?
- playingalong 4y ago> It’s extremely rare that you hear a bad word said about them Well, not directly a piece of critique, but Lego is a symbol for consumerism culture to me.
- superchroma 4y agoDoes anyone really accept the premise that making all the stormtrooper figures women (currently faceless and thus genderless) in a Lego Star Wars set is a real kind of progress and not just a cop out? No mention about transgender stormtroopers either. What's the ideal ratio of female to trans figures, anyway? Is 50/50 (or 33/33/33, etc.) gender representation in Lego sets real progress, anyway?
- h2odragon 4y agoSeeing as how lego figures have no sexual characteristics, and "gender is a social construct": aren't the ratios quoted solely the author's blame? You can't ask the plastic what it identifies as, you're assigning gender by your own prejudice.
- veltas 4y agoWhy should there be an equal number of male and female Lego figures?
