The internet decided to clap back at this guy that really tried to come for Lego for showing an adult man playing with Legos in a tweet. Here are some of our favorite responses
This Guy Got Karma Bombed By The Internet After Making Fun Of A Man Playing With Legos
Lego uploaded this post where they showed a man making a Lego Imperial Probe Droid. Which might we add looks super cool. We've always wanted a Lego R2-D2 and it's on our Christmas list this year
It was all fun and games until ABField decided to join in.
"What's with the sudden trend of grown men playing with children's toys? Do these "men" also make space-shippy sounds when playing with then??
#ManChild
@TheLaurenChen is this attractive?"
In a bafflingly boring take on life, he decided to call out men who play with Legos and questioned why people would think they're attractive. He also decided to put the word "men" in quotes which just screams toxic masculinity.
He also bafflingly decided to tag a right-wing YouTuber and Blaze TV host Lauren Chen because he definitely needed validation on this manly opinion.
After receiving a few responses regarding his very un popular opinion, he decided to double down on his very narrow take on masculinity.
"What fascinating responses from North American adults. Quite educational.
My god, if a study ever comes out that men using a pacifier reduces stress... we are huge trouble.."
#Men #EndofMen"
He also speculated that this is the end of men.
Me: looks at patriarchy. Looks at tweet. Does not compute.
To no one's surprise, these tweets did not go down well and the people responded.
This guy pointed out the history of men actually playing with model trains to which he said, "It's a time-honored manly tradition."
"I mean no one ever used to do this "making pointless toys" thing before"
added another user sharing pictures of model trains and ships in bottles.
User Kye brought up a great point.
"Sudden trend? Do we live on the same planet? Grown men have been part of legos target audience for a very long time. A lot of lego models are way to complicated for children and made specifically for adults. Men were probably always interested in lego."
"I make space shippy sounds and I'm proud. Quit hating on us kings just because we didn't forget what fun feels like."
Jeremy came clean, so now so can we. We too like to make space-shippy sounds when making Lego. Fun is fun ABField. We highly recommend it.
Assan Chop brought this bad*ss evidence with him.
"Here are the four directors of the Godzilla/Kong movies. Playing with toys at a red carpet premiere of Godzilla Vs Kong. Happier and more successful than you'll ever be.
Now excuse me, I have to make parts for the SpaceX rocket then play Friday the 13th all night."
"Real men don’t shy from making spaceshippy noises whenever they please. Be brave"
You tell 'em Solomon.
"Just so you know. The way you try to cry out to someone for validation makes you sound like more of a baby than hobbyists who have actual enjoyment in their lives."
and someone finally called out the weird tagging of Lauren Chen in the post.
"I assure you it's a perfectly fine hobby many of us have. You're really caught up in the whole stoic machoman persona."
At this point, we invite ABField to a Lego building sesh so he can loosen up and find joy.
"Bro I hope she sees this bro"
I mean he might just be shooting his shot when the internet just piled on him.
Someone finally asked what he actually did consider "manly".
"Please provide your list of acceptable leisure activities that meet with your approval."
Only to receive this depressing answer.
"Changing the oil in the car. Upgrading the RAM in the family computer. Doing the laundry. Reading. Writing. Making chilli or soup so there's food for everyone for the week. Home repair. Playing soccer/rugby/football/hockey.
Basically, anything that is fun and also is useful."
Have you seen the prices on Lego? What kid can afford that?
