It looks like the south American islander, she should axe the manager what he thinks?
|
|
I don't give a shit, I don't give a damn, what do you say about that?
|
|
here's a concept. Take the collar out of the playset. Your problem is solved.
|
|
But the toy looks really happy about the situation, so who are we to judge?
Maybe that shackled toy was from the S&M playset. |
|
That's not racist. It's historically accurate. Not exactly a wise move by the toy company but it's not racist.
|
|
My kids have that set. I asked the figurine if he felt exploited. He said no.
|
|
|
It's a toy and someone had to wear a collar and go in the dungeon
|
|
Probably designed and made in China, they don't give a fuck. |
|
|
If the toy was white they would be bitching about not enough black toy figures.

I guess holding out for that Trail of Tears Adventure Set is a waste of time then.

Its not racist its historic. Was 12 Years a Slave racist? They had people portraying slaves.
Someone thought there is a market for it. |

Are they going to sell them as sets? So you can play act with them running through the forestes? Since that's their natural place to come from?
Forestes, bitches. Forestes. |

Hahaha playmobil toys were like gold when I was a kid, I had a pirate ship too. I don't remember if it was racist or not though. ETA: just watched the video When the plastic thing snapped around the neck of that little minority toy...... <a href="http://s957.photobucket.com/user/762RUM/media/C669A943-7412-417A-8F7A-DB099FAB46C3_zpsjfypcbbb.gif.html" target="_blank">http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/762RUM/C669A943-7412-417A-8F7A-DB099FAB46C3_zpsjfypcbbb.gif</a> View Quote Playmobil was the shit. The cops actually came with little Glock pistols . |

Many pirates were black, the chances of them having a "slave" are virtually nil, they might have a prisoner, and most anyone who worked on a ship before sunblock would have a dark complexion by virtue of their sum exposure. That prisoner was tanned, not black, look at native Africans, they are BLACK not tanned, that figure is tanned. Maybe she could axe if that guy has a tan or not?

Toy Black slave = bad
Toy pirates (whose entire existence was literally predicated on kidnapping, thieving, rape, and murder) = AOK! |
|
Plymobile is made in Europe and probably lacks US sensitivities towards the subject.

The cops actually came with little Glock pistols . I found like a dozen sets at a garage sale nearly all complete with boxes from the late 80s early 90s. Mostly Pirate and Cowboys and Indians. I paid maybe $40 and $10 for a huge lego pirate ship. I sold everything for several hundred. I even went and got the missing lego pieces so I could get a better price, thought the box was damaged. |

Quoted: Plymobile is made in Europe and probably lacks US sensitivities towards the subject. View Quote Funny story, saw a Playmobile set during the height of Ferguson ect anti police stuff last year in the store. It was a police station set. The cops were militarized as fuckkkk. Had racks of those HK carbine things people make UMPs out of. I was like damn never had that as a kid |

Quoted: Probably designed and made in China, they don't give a fuck. View Quote Most likely designed and possibly even manufactured in Germany, I was buying Playmobil sets when I was a kid in the '70's. Had the cavalry fort, a Wells Fargo wagon, bunch of cavalry soldiers, some cowboys, and Indians. Later was given some of the space stuff when it started showing up in the US a few years later. Heck, for all I know, it may be in a box somewhere in my garage of stuff that came out of my dad's house. |

Lmao it took that bitch a weekend to put that pirate ship together

Would you want your kid playing with a death camp set? What about a toy where your crucify Christ? Considering it's Playmobil based on the ones I had growing up in America, looking back in hindsight the Death Camp set is not beyond the realm of possibility. They made airport security, and hazmat set. They don't shelter their children that's for sure. Sharia Law set should be darn interesting also. 8( |
