Personally, I find it very interesting how capitalism intersects with woke politics. Despite countless crossroads and contradictions, they somehow coexist, interweaving and overlapping to create a strange pradoxical thatchwork.
It's at these unstable convergences in the fabric of modern woke culture that we begin to see how it frays. First Lego is bad because they introduce a stereotypically feminine toy line clearly marketed at girls... and then it's a hit.
Now suddenly we're divided... On one hand, it's great that more young girls are getting interested in technical, abstract and enginous thought-provoking toys, but on the other hand... is that really what it is that's interesting them?
Lego is just as woke as any other modern company, complete with pride sets and diversity quotas, but they've appeared to publicly ackowledge the differences between males and females, and for the most part they seem to get a free pass.
I wonder why... Is it because Lego was widely considered boy toys, and this is seen as a "move over, it's our turn" kinda thing, sort of like the Women in S.T.E.M. movement, or is this something else? One thing is clear.
At the end of the day, Lego is out here to make money. They do a pretty good job of paying tribute to the woke police, and have managed to stay under the radar. In recent years they've even cancelled several Lego cop sets
as some sort of a stance against police brutality. This was around the same time they were hypocritically breaking their "no themes based on violent first person shooters" pledge with the Overwatch line. One of countless broken "vows".
