>>122094448Fucking unbelievable how long it has been this way. I want to say since 2010 at least.
When I was a kid, literally every boy wanted that Optimus Prime action figure, or Goku, or Batman, or He-Man. Adult male characters they idolized in some way or another, and for over at least a decade, this important aspect of the development of all young boys has been taken away, and companies are convinced kids will not watch cartoons or buy toys containing adult male characters. It's just not true
