I was really afraid when I saw this blow up. My first thought was people would just "forgive" GoldieBlox: after all, don't we all dream of a free world devoid and licensing and teaching girls they are just as powerful as boys?
But for once, I'm seeing a different trend. People really do care for Yauch's last will as an artist. And people don't think girl empowerment, though noble, should be used to trample respect and other values we hold dear as human beings.
So for once, more people are speaking with moderated words. We see both sides of the arguments, there's less "line-in-the-sand" declarations,... Maybe we could try again next time we get in a gender-related debate :)
- malandrew 13y agoI was of a split opinion. I think the girl empowerment thing was great, but I also respect his wish not to have his work used commercially. At the end of the day, it's fair use, but unethical, but all they need to do be be ethical and respect his last wishes is remove the obvious references to their product at the end when the TV is turned on and the product name is aired. They should just edit out that short part.
