The value of these Leftist money sink's is not in the sales of products. They know it won't sell.
The value is that their ESG scores go up, and they can get heightened capital investment to as we dip into a recession and sales go down across the board.
They think they are buying into a good scam; but it's a deal with the devil. When shit goes down, Lego can be forced to shutter by their investors; and may become the equivalent of a financial husk for large investors to cycle money in and out of.
“We have always been focused on ensuring that LEGO play was for all children, but within the recent years we have focused more on putting systematic processes into place to ensure LEGO products and marketing be as inclusive as possible,” said Julia Goldin, Chief Product and Marketing Officer Lego Group, in a statement to USA TODAY.
It’s always women pushing this crap
A global survey commissioned by the Lego Group in October 2021 found that attitudes regarding children’s activities and future goals continue to be unequal and constrained by gender biases, prompting the company to announce the production of gender-neutral toys.
We have to social engineer kids because they actually act according to inherent biological development!
But girls expressed this stronger than boys. For example, 82% of girls agreed that girls can play football and boys can practice ballet, compared to 71% of boys. And 42% of girls said they worry about being made fun of for playing with a toy typically associated for the other gender, compared to 71% of boys — a fear often shared by parents.
Righttt because women totally “play football”! Imagine paying for this survey that doesn’t actually help sell toys.
“Girls are more likely to consider a wider range of jobs versus boys,” Madeline Di Nonno, president and CEO of the Geena Davis Institute, told USA TODAY. “The girls are ready, we just have to get out of the way
As always it’s about propping up women in spite of men.
“We measure and report on the progress on the share of women globally and set annual targets for share of women at Director level and above, i.e women in executive positions.”
It also states, “Diversity is the visible and invisible dimensions that make each of us unique. We want our organization to reflect the diversity of the world we operate in and seek to inspire. Currently we focus on gender, ethnicity, LGBTQIA+ communities and people with disabilities.”
Feminism created the troon cult, remember that everytime you see Riley Gaines crying about strong men while also propping feminism.

There's a very simple reason for this: Maleness is superior.
When a girl plays with boys toys, it's a sign of a superior quality.
When a boy plays with girl's, toys, it's a sign of an inferior quality.
That's far too reductionist. All kid's toys are shit-tier quality, because kid's don't even know what they are really looking at.
Little Girls are groomed from very early age that they should defy any sort of gender conformity whenever possible in order to defeat boys.
Little Boys are groomed from a very early age to understand they are innately inferior and only belong in specific places, away from women and girls, where they can do the least harm.
Then there is the actual biological drivers operating underneath where boys want to protect their extremely limited social status which could be damaged by femininity (which fits in with the intentional self-segregation narrative from society). Similarly, girls will be pre-disposed to engage in feminine social signaling, but have no restrictions preventing them from engaging with masculine signals, and may also be rewarded for doing so. That way, when they simply give up on masculine symbols or behaviors, there is no loss to their social status at all.
Then, after ALL of that, there is the Feminist narrative that masculinity is innately powerful. And, as such, to redistribute power from men to women, men must be equitably disempowered and feminized; and women must attach themselves to masculine power to be empowered.
This is the very nature of the insane title of that movie: "The Woman King". The Feminist dialectic presumes that all power is monopolized among men, therefore seizing the term king (rather than identifying a person as a strong queen) is necessary.
Well, you've convinced me. Only the highest quality product come from Lego. What idiot would buy something as unreliable as a car? I know for a fact that legos are far more sophisticated than my automatic transmission. That's why, when I was 4, I bought my first micrometer. You know, to make sure the legos were up to specs. You certainly wouldn't need that for your spark plugs.
You jest, but yes, the literal square does indeed have tight tolerances. If the tolerances were not tight, the small differences would add up over course of successive block connections and bricks would eventually cease to line up closely enough to fit together properly.
Little boys are groomed from a very early age to understand they are innately inferior and only belong in specific places, away from women and girls, where they can do the least harm.
By who? Until society admits it, we're getting nowhere.
By their teachers, by their parents, by television, by their friends, by social media, by traditional media, by punditry, by entertainment, by infotainment.
Seriously, how would you of all people not notice this? This is like that time you though Spain wasn't as bad as the US in regards to Feminism. Pro Tip: Amber Herd moved there.

Reparations for men are 100% necessary to consider any form of truce.
The Lego Dreamzzz line, produced by the toy giant, will debut with several new models, including a Pegasus horse, a bunny with blue and pink stripes named Bunchu, and a “nightmare shark ship.”
The new ‘gender inclusive’ characters will also be featured in a new television show premiering on May 15.
I guarantee whoever came up with that name is a pedophile. Guarantee it.
Gay commies religion requires them to use social power to suppress the expression of natural hierarchies and promote their inversion. That is pretty much their whole thing.
Now if only I could figure out how to express that in a bumper sticker-worth slogan maybe we could wake up some normies.
Better yet, how about they make stuff that's affordable and have them actually played with kids for the first time in decades?
Because nobody is buying special sets for their kids, that's for the adults. The kids get the cheap 5$ one with 10 pieces or a used bucket with a turd in it.
“Girls are more likely to consider a wider range of jobs versus boys,” Madeline Di Nonno, president and CEO of the Geena Davis Institute, told USA TODAY. “The girls are ready, we just have to get out of the way.”
These children, particularly the girls, are being told they can be anything, especially things that they traditionally have not been, not by well meaning but misguided parents who love them and want them to succeed, but by corporations that know that a malleable consumer is a mindlessly consuming consumer, by a society that believes an amorphous human is a human that can be willingly shaped at will into whatever they want, and by elites that have learned that groups that self oppress and fight each other are groups that cannot unite and fight against them.
What child would eat their vegetables when they know they can cry to a sinisterly permissive society for cake?
and by elites that have learned that groups that self oppress and fight each other are groups that cannot unite and fight against them.
I wouldn't unite with them to fight an alien invasion, let alone a shadowy "elite".
Just saying, the excuses for feminism are getting absolutely ridiculous. Michael Bloomberg proved you can't buy support with his ridiculous Presidential run. People have to want what you're selling to begin with.
There is no "elite" making women feminist. Being a nepotistic, insular cult is their base nature. Some can rise above it, the majority do not.
Feminism was started by wealthy white women to personally amass more power to which they believed they were entitled. Were they not elites? Is that not the way that someone who believes themself to be better than others acts?
And if, as you say, women are a "nepotistic, insular cult" then a hands off "let them do as they wish and prevent others from restraining them" permissive attitude would allow women to become feminists correct?
So if I am trying to keep myself at the top of a social hierarchy, I allow those below me to act however they want as long as they do not act against me, shield them from the consequences of their actions, and then direct them against people who could threaten me and therefore themselves. I'll take "BLM x Feminism" for $500, Imp1.
And I am not trying to excuse feminism for what it is. Far from it. Feminism is an obviously selfish ideology that now claims to improve the lives of everyone, not just followers, while only really improving those at the top of the hierarchy and passing the scraps to those below.
When people say elite, they mean the likes of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
I don't buy it. All the money in the world can't force you to be a piece of shit. You choose to. The enemy really is your fellow normie, not the rich person who poured cash into it. Ask Michael Bloomberg, you cannot force a political movement with cash.
I allow those below me to act however they want as long as they do not act against me, shield them from the consequences of their actions, and then direct them against people who could threaten me and therefore themselves. I'll take "BLM x Feminism" for $500, Imp1.
Exactly. Women will flare up any conflict to keep themselves at the top of the pile.
Which was why it was so much harder to overcharge stupid people with that version. Once they learned they can charge $40 for 15-20 pieces if they slap Star Wars on it, this was just an inevitability.
"Gender-neutral" just means "take away everything masculine and boyish, feminize the rest (except the women), and throw bright pastel colors everywhere."
Who knew Legos even had a gender. I'm kind of amazed people still buy them with all bricks out in circulation. My GF brought home a 27 gallon storage bin that was overflowing with legos that she bought for $20 at a yard sale.
...
And yes. I made an amazing fort in my living room. Then a throne. They went to the basement for a while but now I'm thinking about making a floor to ceiling tower.
Well... Upside is this should bring the costs of new sets down, if you're a collector. Demand will drop. They'll prob stop renewing certain licenses / properties so they can focus on tranny fluid. That's one of the main reasons LEGO prices climbed so fast, all of the licenses they were renting.
I just see this going the way of Rose Tico and Rey action figures. As in getting dusty on the shelves, and ending up in a dollar store dent and damaged bin.
LEGO already did a study on what boys/girls play with years ago. They were the ones that discovered the differences. Boys become the action figure they are playing with. If they are playing with Superman, or Spiderman, the action figure does Superman and Spiderman stuff.
Girls project their personality onto the action figure. So if they play with Batman or Superman, all of a sudden those characters are having a tea party and conspiring against some uglier figure.
Boys don't want feminine toys. Because they don't usually want to have feminine fantasies. That's why at least in media, comic books, it's all gone to shit so fast. Feminist writers have classic characters sitting around in coffee shops gossiping and there's just less masculinity and action. Boys check out. They are over in manga now where characters are still beating the shit out of each other and stories are still like WWE promos.
The best strategy for Lego would be to make apolitical models that feature military themes, this is doing the exact opposite and will bite them in the ass.
Stereotypes? Lego is liked by ALL kids and it was girls themselves that WANTED pink stuff while boys liked the more mechanical stuff.
This is just going to end up another leftist money sink.

I'm not referring to the quality of the toys, I'm referring the quality of the human being playing with them.
Either way:
Lego is literally precision engineered to tolerances smaller than many parts of your car.
"the literal square has tight tolerances"
Well, you've convinced me. Only the highest quality product come from Lego. What idiot would buy something as unreliable as a car?

Who indeed....
So, gender neutral means feminize boys.
What they mean is that they're going to push the boys out of the way.
Reparations for men are 100% necessary to consider any form of truce.

Forget that. Remember "Dear Colleague".
They're playing games, they're going to push a "bi-partisan reform" by putting women's sports trash and woman-led campus rape courts together.
I guarantee whoever came up with that name is a pedophile. Guarantee it.
Wouldn't doubt it at this point.
Sounds more like 50 year old ad exec trying to come up with something kids will like. Using Z instead of S is such dated youth-speak.
How about they just make stuff that's cool, and let kids pick out the sets they want?
Gay commies religion requires them to use social power to suppress the expression of natural hierarchies and promote their inversion. That is pretty much their whole thing.
Now if only I could figure out how to express that in a bumper sticker-worth slogan maybe we could wake up some normies.
How about you try actually contributing instead of shitting up the thread?
How about you try not being a fucking simp for once?

Because free choice is inherently inequitable.

OG Lego was always "for everyone". It was just a pile of bricks from a box or bin and your own imagination.
Which was why it was so much harder to overcharge stupid people with that version. Once they learned they can charge $40 for 15-20 pieces if they slap Star Wars on it, this was just an inevitability.
What in the ever-loving heck is that pastel demon
Oh good, another building block of my childhood being destroyed in real time.
That thing in the image is not 'gender neutral'.
It however is a confusing mess to look at.
"Gender-neutral" just means "take away everything masculine and boyish, feminize the rest (except the women), and throw bright pastel colors everywhere."
Who knew Legos even had a gender. I'm kind of amazed people still buy them with all bricks out in circulation. My GF brought home a 27 gallon storage bin that was overflowing with legos that she bought for $20 at a yard sale.

All this just to crash the population growth and to destabilize social cohesion. Nice.

I'm sure this will go just as well as the last time they experimented with troonery via the Vidyo line.
Spoiler Alert: Vidiyo was a total bomb.
I know I as a young boy liked masculine type things (and still do) eg action and stuff of that ilk, same for everyone I know lol

Rumors of an IPO soon.
