More to the point people argue these genderised versions of lego are bad, and that lego shouldn't sell them, deciding to not sell a product because of that and not consumer demand is an example of how a company can decide for its consumers.
- amag 12y agoI don't see why the genderised versions are bad. My daughter is all for pink and princesses, something we have never (knowingly) encouraged. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't build legos at all if it weren't for the pink pieces, and the princesses! Now she builds and has learned that she enjoys the actual building process, not just playing with the creation afterwards. To me this is far more important than the way the minifigures look or whether or not it promotes gender stereotypes. Gender stereotypes are much more likely picked up from how ones parents behave than from toys. If it weren't for Lego Friends I'm pretty confident she would be playing with Barbies instead and that is worse in regards to all the bad things that can be said about Lego Friends, never mind the fact that Barbies lack the creative outlet that is the very foundation of Lego. I'm pretty confident if it weren't for the Lego Friends series, there would be a lot of girls never learning that they enjoy the building process. Which would be a great shame. If girls learn building legos can be fun, then they might learn that CS can be fun as well :).
