Fair play - assuming he's not following a load of other far right racists accounts and engaging with them, I'm more than happy to believe him and accept his apology.

LOL. It's moments like this that we need Prince Phillip.

"Empowering women"

"Say no to gender discrimination"

"End the patriarchy"

Lego is anti LGBTQIA+ and promotes the idea there are only two genders according to the Science Museum 🤔

"Alongside a display of Lego bricks, it states the public believe that: “The top of the brick with sticking out pins is male, the bottom of the brick with holes to receive the pins is female, and the process of the two sides being put together is called mating”."

As outright lies go, that's pretty funny.

All sorts of connectors (not just lego) have always been described as male and female, I dont really see what the problem is there. Nobody is 'mating' Lego.

I've played with a lot of Lego, as a kid and as a Dad, and can safely say that neither I, nor anyone I know, has ever thought of putting the blue brick on top of the yellow brick to make a larger structure as 'mating'. I genuinely feel sad for people who come up with this stuff and are actually being serious.

Don't all lego pieces have a top & bottom?

Pieces having a top and bottom doesn’t equate to anyone thinking of them or referring to them as male and female

If anything, with them having both the "key" and the "lock", front and back on the same piece, Lego are actually promoting homosexualism, aren't they? Won't someone think of our children?

That's a much more plausible - but equally batshit - theory than it being anti trans. But not woke enough for whichever lunatic wrote the study.

When we are finished with this topic can we discuss Lego Zoo and spend a minute thinking about the captive animals.

Also, does anyone know when a similar study will be done on Magnetic Tiles. For me this is the new Lego.

Me and the grandson build unfeasibly large towers with them and then along comes Destructo Boy (other grandson) who knocks them down with an evil glint in his eye and cackles like a demented witch.

I'd just always assumed that Lego was short for Leg over due to the obvious sexual connotations

I just read the article.
I genuinely assumed that it was gonna be an opinion piece moaning about woke Lego.
Even I didn’t think that the mental wing of the alphabet movement would actually be this mental.

I haven't read the article because I was smart enough to suspect it would be a bit mental and I would just sigh and groan my way through it.

Many thanks to CEB for saving me the time and trouble.

How do you always manage to misunderstand this?
The article isn’t mental, the activist group behind the exhibition is mental

Misunderstanding is the rock on which many a good gag was constructed.
