Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.
Come at me!
Yeah, this one definitely deserves to be unpopular. They’ve always been minifigs, they’ll always be minifigs, you don’t mess with perfection.
I feel like this would be a popular opinion amongst the Lemmy general demographic but then some psychopath below proved the opposite to be true.
I find the use of “Legos” more triggering, the plural is Lego ffs.
No, that is equally abhorrent. It is a brand name, you don’t add anything to pluralise.
I don’t rememeber ‘men’ being prominent in the packaging and we just called the people ‘legos’ like the rest of the sets. So i’m half with you on them being kegos and not minifigs, but all of the people in the sets are just legos.
Yeah, but you have to be able to say the difference between Lego blocks (yes blocks, be happy I’m capitalizing Lego) and Lego men.
As long as no one is allowed to say “Pokemons”, I agree with that compromise.
This is exactly the kind of post this community is for. You’re couldn’t be more wrong, take my upvotes you incorrect bastard!
Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?
I don’t understand the question. There are girl Lego Men and boy Lego Men.
Sure, that’s true, but using Lego boys and Lego girls and just Lego people in general works too and is simpler, right?
I’m sure explaining that “Man is more like human in this case and not a gender or sex” is fun sometimes but ideas are evolving with more people and eventually it will just look too much like “Man is dogwhistle for subjugating women under men by calling them men”.
Is this bad connotation that more people will see over time worth holding onto the word Man as meaning everybody when we could just evolve our usage of language?
