Yes it would. I would be offended.Jacob C. wrote:I never quite understood why Lego will not make military sets......I don't think it would offend anyone??
Of course that I would be offended would never be a reason for them to do or to refrain from anything. At least they still stand to their silly colour decision despite me being offended by it.... (different story).
But LEGO is a toy-company that in their self-conception is educational. And they don't want to teach children that war is any good. Nor do they even want to teach children that war is anything they (the children) should think of at all. War should never be part of children's lives, be it in reality (God forbid!) or be it in their plays. That's why LEGO doesn't produce war toys that resemble contemporary war weaponry.
Fighting knights, however, with swords and lances are from times that are gone long enough to be not related to any war that's on TV right now (Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Israel, ... ).
