Also, they've sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.

Come at me!

Our advertising policy requires us to call them "generic Danish interlocking children's building set" men. 😆

But yeah, agree. I think they were better when they were just generic yellow humanoids with smiley faces and assorted wigs/hats.

I don't think as I child I ever ascribed them a gender of their own; they were always the player character in the world's I'd build. e.g. if I was playing with them, they were boys and they were girls when my sister was playing with them.

FWIW, one of the best parts of the Foosball Table set (21337) is the shear number of wigs and faces it comes with so you can totally customize your players. It comes with 22 "generic Danish interlocking children's building set" men and 44 unique wigs/heads. It's pretty cool imo

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
