See!
I’m sure that’s a good representation of the argument made by the museum and not misconstrued in any way.
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.
Guess I’ll just implement some illegal building techniques. Be gay do crime.
Only thing I know is my male Legos love being pegged.
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
It’s literally just an example of how language reinforces heteronormativity, but of course they wouldn’t explain that in simple terms.
Some Lego sets can definitely be considered problematically gendered, but complaints about the bricks themselves seem like rage bait.
that’s exactly what’s happening here i bet
sigh but what have the male-female connecting bricks done for the Palestinians?
common Terf Island L tbh
Common Stürmergraph L.
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?
Hooray the “Master/Slave” “black list/white list” style technical writing drama has finally hit the toy sector.
imo lego has non-binary aura
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
There’s a pussy, dicks, and asshole joke in there.
Each nub still needs to go in a hole. I think they’re looking for some kind of physics defying solution for two holes or nubs to stick together. Maybe one that doesn’t have holes or nubs and is just meant to sit alone.
You can also put the edge of a flat between the nubs of another block. There are so many variations beyond hole-to-nub if you just try for a few minutes.
The picture needs a “Become Ungovernable” caption.
lego
It doesn’t even make sense by their own logic, all bricks fit into each other so all of them are intersex lol
Some of their weird ones can only be inserted into receiver pieces
