Wait, what about the pieces with nubs on both sides???

Hooray the "Master/Slave" "black list/white list" style technical writing drama has finally hit the toy sector.
-
This isn't even a lego thing. This is also the standard for naming things like power sockets and piping iirc.
actual LGBT rights plz-
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

Low voltage DC male-to-male isn't a problem, though. It's the sparky voltages that will do you in.

We 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".

imo lego has non-binary aura

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?
-
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.
-
It's literally just an example of how language reinforces heteronormativity, but of course they wouldn't explain that in simple terms.
-
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

Only thing I know is my male Legos love being pegged.
-
And also doing the pegging, and also doing both at the same time in a thousand-brick orgy

There's a pussy, dicks, and asshole joke in there.
-
Guess I'll just implement some illegal building techniques. Be gay do crime.
-
I'm sure that's a good representation of the argument made by the museum and not misconstrued in any way.
-
Using electricity is superstraight now.
-
Sooner or later someone is going to
"see, being gay isn't natural!" Like they do to some random verse in the Bible. We are rapidly headed towards a stupidity singularity.
-
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.

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
