      There’s something disturbing about the thought of children raised on Fisher-Price military toys growing up to be in the military, going off and murdering poor brown kids who are also playing with Fisher-Price toys

      Reminds me of that time a Pewdiepie fan committed a mass shooting and was saying ‘subscribe to Pewdiepie’, and I was wondering if one of the children he shot might also have been a Pewdiepie fan (which didn’t feel impossible given Pewdiepie has a gigantic fanbase)

        Ya gotta get ‘em hooked on murder early, or they’re gonna grow up with all sorts of twisted thoughts about not pushing the genocide button.

    Q: What happens to your commitment to child safety?

    Fisher-Price has, for nearly a century, ensured that no toy contained a small part that could be swallowed by a child under three years of age. We are pleased to report that our autonomous weapons systems do not contain small parts.
