Hey guys let’s take a potentially cool nostalgic topic and talk about rape instead
To be clear I never said let's stop talking about toys and start talking about rape instead. Hell, I even included my favorite toy in the same post. All I said was that this was the exact prompt we used to start our workshops ... and everyone lost their damn minds.

While I love that Melon is actually thinking about the topic and not just dismissing it, this is exactly why I didn't want to try and explain things without doing a whole workshop. The idea is 100% not to say "boys shouldn't play with nerf guns because they'll rape" or anything like that.

All the workshop was about was looking at the toys we grew up with, because they reflect our society's gender roles. It's not about nerf guns are bad, it's about "why don't people give girls the cool stuff (like nerf guns) that they give to boys?" (And even then we never actually said that, it was just most people's natural reaction when they saw the boy toys on one side and the girl toys on the other.) At the end we did throw in some statistics about rape which (in the context of the workshop) naturally connected to the gender roles discussion, but even then it was only about offering facts to let people make up their own minds.

The takeaway was never to make anyone believe anything, especially not that nerf guns are bad: it was just intended to make you think about gender roles (and maybe, if we were lucky, whether they're good or not).

But as I said in my very first post, it was not my intent to bring up any of this unless the thread went to RnF; I just had people ask questions so I answered. And in a attempt to refocus the thread, here's my second favorite nostalgic toy (or at least one of them, I think I owned every one of the 80's Robin Hood Lego sets):

Oh man I had the exact same Lego playset! Still do! I was hooked on the fighting Lego men - those hats are awesome, with a removable feather wow! Lego sharks and gold coins also precious material

Great taste in toys Loramin
