>>10912331If you want another example of sovlful Lego's edginess, pic related is a page from an early 1991 UK Lego catalogue.
It depicts that year's firefighting rescue boat putting out a large fire on a oil rig.
Two and half years prior in July 1988 the Piper Alpha oil rig blew up 120 miles off the coast of the UK.
167 men died via burning and drowning making it the deadliest oil rig disaster in history.
That means that Lego's designers heard about the disaster, immediately designed a set based off the boats that tried to quell the fire, then had it photographed in what is essentially an official Lego recreation of the disaster (including workers falling to their deaths),
and it was specifically used for the UK catalogue. Some of the children of the 167 dead probably saw this image back then.
Now The Lego Group puts wheelchairs in space and makes sets celebrating homos.
