Dont understand the gendered lighting? Man everything from the late 80s to the 2010s had gendered lighting, color and separation.
Does no one remember Toys-R-Us literally being divided in gender? You can still tell its lasting inpact if you ever walk near the kids section a walmart, as any girls section is immediately nothing but pink.
Even to this day people still heavily insist on gender stereotypes in the LGBTQ community to the point where androgyny is back as a counter culture movement. As if it was just the oppressed heterosexual christians that love this shit. Eveyone does.
Now give me my RGB bathtub so i can make it green and bubbly like a cauldron.
I worked a season at Toys-R-Us when i was younger and the divide pissed me off. The toys i stocked in the ‘boys’ toys were of every variety. Science kits, legos, wrestling, sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, castles, foam weapons, nerf, tech decks and the tiny bmx equivalents, fucking Spawn figures, Hot Wheels, kinetic sand! And for the ‘girls’ section, pick a doll, adult woman or baby, the other six pink isles are literally just barbie, nothing is less than $50 because these are all actually very specific collectors items for gay boomers.
