Most people seem to agree that Lego and TLG as a company suck now. And while there are some major points normies and MOCers mostly agree on, normies tend to hate on the wrong things about modern Lego. Like, I often hear normies complain about specialized pieces in Lego sets. Which is pretty weird because, while the system has improved a lot over the years with a lot of technical elements making more complex and detailed builds possible, modern Lego sets rarely use unique and specialized pieces anymore. And when they do they're mostly just minifig accessories. It was the 90s, the 2000s and maybe even the early 2010s when Lego went crazy with specialized elements. It's like normies think anything that isn't a basic brick is a specialized element. They'd call a basic Technic liftarm or a rounded System slope "specialized elements". The other thing is that they think now you can only build what you can see on the box art without any space left for customization and creativity. Which might be sort of the case with some of those really cheap and small sets, but adult normies tend to buy those large and expensive ones with a shitton of pieces, so I don't really understand why they think this is the case. Also, I think the existence of Lego Classic and Lego Creator (with those 3in1 sets) proves both of these points wrong. But I imagine most normies are unaware of the existence of these themes, because they aren't actually interested in Lego, they are only interested in the Lego version of Popular License™ which they only build once then display on a self until they get bored with it.
