fun story but totally untrue.
what the guide actually points out is that people refer to bricks as
male and female, an example of how language reinforces the normality of hetereosexuality (which i agree is the norm)
it doesnt criticise lego in any way but why spoil a fun story with facts?

It literally is the norm. The norm is the position or status of 51% or more of >the population on any given issue.
Heterosexuality is undeniably the norm in the human species (or any species >that reproduces sexually, for that matter). No amount of virtue-signaling or >rainbow flags will change that.

I stopped going to our science Museum when they had some sort of exhibit opening party and they dressed a black woman in a Santa Claus wig to greet people at the door as da Vinci. The head of the museum told the local fish wrap that the museum felt it was important to teach visitors that science wasn’t done by white men.

Here's the article, although it's been updated since Loesch commented on
it.
Science Museum in 'bonkers' LGBT Lego warning
Institution's Seeing Things Queerly tour claims people think the toy
bricks are 'gendered' and reinforces idea 'heterosexuality is the norm'
by Craig Simpson
Arts Editor
The Telegraph
06 February 2025 12:20pm GMT https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/06/lego-can-be-anti-lgbt-says-science-museum/
The first line of the article
Lego can be anti-LGBT, the Science Museum has said.
Yeah, that's LITERALLY criticizing Lego.
Here's paragraph 2.
A self-guided museum tour on "stories of queer communities,
experiences and identities" includes a display of Lego bricks
alongside a guide stating the plastic blocks may reinforce the
idea that heterosexuality "is the norm".
That's literally a criticism of how the pieces are designed to fit
together, therefore normalizing heterosexuality.
In a later paragraph,
No source is provided for the alleged view that people consider
Lego to be gendered, or that sticking bricks together is called
"mating".
None of this is about the use of gendered words in language. It's
literally about the design of the toy and the action of fitting them together, and that the curator made shit up.
You got this very wrong. Your criticism is off base, and you ruined my
day by making me defend Ubi.
This is an example of applying heteronormative language to topics
unrelated to gender, sex and reproduction. It illustrates how heteronormativity (the idea that heterosexuality and the male/female
gender binary are the norm and everything that falls outside is unusual)
. . .
I also wonder when it was exactly that Italians (i.e., DaVinci) stopped being >considered ethnic minorities in America and started being "white men".

That's literally true. Heterosexuality *is* the norm. They're arguing here >that something that's true shouldn't be true.

How is moviePig, self-proclaimed language expert, unaware that "gender" refers to a hell of a lot more than sexual characteristics and
reproduction? Plumbing terms are all gendered. Those four holes in the top-back of the kitchen sink that plumbing fixtures fit through are
called "cockholes". Access to a sewer or an underground vault is through
a "manhole". Electrical connections are male -- plug -- and female --
jack or port.
If Lego was intended to impose hetero-normative beliefs upon children
(not a concept at the time), then donn't tell moviePig that most pieces
are hermaphroditic: Plug on one side, jack on the other.
What does that teach the young'uns about sexuality?
Also, if Lego pieces aren't allowed to couple, where does moviePig
believe that replacement Lego pieces come from?

It's the "norm" in the sense of "usual, typical, or standard" -- and,
afaics, what's being demonstrated here is how pervasive that 'norm' is.
What *isn't* explicitly addressed is how 'norm' often becomes "normal".

LOL! It's important that we lie about who did science.

Thati's only Sicilians. Many Northern Italians are blonde and blue-eyed.

I know. Neopolitans are pale.
But BTR1701 is correct that Italians were looked down upon for decades.
Hell, even the Irish looked down upon them.
The idea that ALL white people ever were the American elite has always
been absurd.
