Wow. Cry me a river CulturalMeek. I reacted to you using my post as an intro to your soapbox screed which has nothing to do with my post.
If you weren’t busy using this post as your own personal soapbox you’d realise it’s about marketing. Like it or not, graphics and marketing are two subjects I happen to know a fair bit about. You seem to infer from your comment that all discussions everywhere must relate specifically to the images and information included in the post. That’s idiotic bunkum. We’re talking about this product and marketing. Bob-forbid anyone actually discuss the topic… I mean - who has time to actually click on anything these days? (Clearly not you).
Oh wow, ex post facto you discover there’s a blue version of the bow? Dollars to donuts it’s still in a pink/purple package, hon. PS, since you’re clearly not aware of this: boxes and packaging are marketing. I agree that it’s probably a good idea to stick girls on the boxes, but by making them cute girly boxes with girls giggling instead of being badasses you’re simply perpetuating stereotypes (the thing you’re supposedly against).
My original post was intended to say: “is this actually progressive marketing?” Then I tore you a new one by talking about the actual subject and the actual post and you’re upset that I’m not happy to be the butt of your strawman comparisons.
I reiterate:
‘Marketing that contains exclusively boys is gender neutral! Marketing that contains exclusively girls is gendered!’
Now if you could just point to where I said that, I’d really appreciate it.
I await your next poorly conceived response.
