reminded of lego friends again and struck with how dumb the discourse is. "lego was already for everyone, girls didn't need stupid malls or houses" but you don't hear complaints about batman sets. or teenage mutant ninja turtles. lego ninjago. lego star wars. fire trucks and helicopters and tanks all get to be gender neutral. no, hating overt femininity is not as progressive as we're thinking it is.

#not to say i dont like any of these other things #but as a kid i love feminine stuff! and i loved lego friends #i loved making a whole fucking town for my chsracters to wander though i could build sets invent new shops at the mall make new houses #what other doll lets you build your own dollhouse?? lets you take it apart abd customize it easily??#im sorry the pink in the blue isle ruined your mood but it made my week as a kid #and dont even get me started on lego elves they were the coolest shit to me #if you already liked lego before lego friends thats awesome more power to you #but lego was already going for gender neutral with a lot of their sets. lego friends didnt have to be suddenly the only thing u played with #it was expanding the range of what you could do. you could build fire trucks or batmans batcave or you could build a shopping mall #vent #rant post
