Let me get this straight: You’re upset that I made a comment about the image in the article this thread references?
You posted a negative comment about pink on a thread where the only image was a girl shooting a purple bow with pink accents. I posted a link to a blue bow with pink accents to show that colorful items with pink accents weren’t unusual. And hey, this toyline also contains a blue bow with pink accents.
You did not mention boxes or packages, just marketing in general.
I then specified that I’d prefer if they made a wide range of colors in boxes with both boys and girls on them, but that making a bunch of different colored stuff and putting girls on SOME boxes was better than putting girls on NO boxes, and boys on ALL boxes where a person appears. Thus, you see, I was willing to accept an imperfect solution.
Nerf used to have only pictures of boys on their boxes. Now they have both boys and girls, in an imperfect way. For the past few years, nerf marketing has contained almost entirely boys. Now it also includes girls.
If your original post was not intended to establish that you thought this line which incorporates girls, pink, and purple into a line that predominantly featured boys, orange and blue was “the opposite of progressive,” then maybe you should spend a little more time composing your posts, Perhaps say “by the way, I’m not here to comment on the image or substance of the article, I’m expecting you to click in my link and make this thread about me, rather than discussing the image or topic of the blog itself.”
