See!
Using electricity is superstraight now.
Some Lego sets are definitely problematically gendered, but complaints about the bricks themselves are probably rage bait.
that’s exactly what’s happening here i bet
sigh but what have the male-female connecting bricks done for the Palestinians?
The bricks haven’t denounced Hamas yet
“There’s trouble in Lego Gaza! Construct your tunnels to secure the safety of it’s people!”
common Terf Island L tbh
Common Stürmergraph L.
This isn’t even a lego thing. This is also the standard for naming things like power sockets and piping iirc.
actual LGBT rights plzWe should switch to using 凸／凹 because
- they’re descriptive (convex/concave)
- their meanings are clear from their form
- they’re fun to say in Japanese: deko(mi) and heko(mi), respectively, and if you stick them together you get the cute dekoboko which means “bumpy” or “uneven”.
There’s a joke about the notorious M-M cable (aka the suicide cable) that I’m too lazy to make.
M-M in audio is crucial though, hooks my car to my Bluetooth
Low voltage DC male-to-male isn’t a problem, though. It’s the sparky voltages that will do you in.
Hooray the “Master/Slave” “black list/white list” style technical writing drama has finally hit the toy sector.
imo lego has non-binary aura
Hang on. The whole design of the standard Lego brick is that it has holes on one side and nubs on the other. Legos aren’t male or female, they’re both.
Maybe this article is misunderstanding a critique of the language we use to describe parts fitting together, not the parts themselves.
Feds write this crap so they can get people to think all the stupid lies 4chan says about lgbt people are true, don’t they?
It’s literally just an example of how language reinforces heteronormativity, but of course they wouldn’t explain that in simple terms.
wouldn’t that mean most blocks are intersex or whatever the social version of dual gendered is, because almost all blocks have parts that insert and parts that receive?
I am struggling to entertain the comparisons.
damn tourists that know nothing about creative lego-ing

Did you make that board? If so I like what you did with it.
just the best example I could find, but I used to be quite the lego freak in a past life
Only thing I know is my male Legos love being pegged.
And also doing the pegging, and also doing both at the same time in a thousand-brick orgy
Sooner or later someone is going to
“see, being gay isn’t natural!” Like they do to some random verse in the Bible. We are rapidly headed towards a stupidity singularity.Guess I’ll just implement some illegal building techniques. Be gay do crime.
I’m sure that’s a good representation of the argument made by the museum and not misconstrued in any way.
There’s a pussy, dicks, and asshole joke in there.
