You can take thousands if not millions of products in use today, directly created by and for the military in multiple nations and make this argument. Does that mean we stop using them? That we disconnect from every service or tech provider that provides tech or services to a military?
Is the argument that the Boeing association will make Children / Adults more violence prone because of the relationship of this Craft? What about Nasa and the space race, fueled by the Cold War? What about Jurassic Park where we are perpetuating an un healthy understanding of science... Star Wars where the exact goal is to defeat the empire with Blasters, Light Sabers, and other destructive means.... Everyone and anyone can make any argument as to why every one of these things is bad. Kids need to play, toys allow them to work through emotions. Proper parenting can easily address this if it's really a concern.
It's plastic toys, designed to foster excitement and respect for engineering. It's a cop of out for Woke Culture and it's yet another example of extreme views alienating not only the right, but those of use that are realists on the left.
Let's get ahead of all this and just stop using the internet and all the luxuries of modern life because most are related to empirialistic behaviors and benefactors of military might and conquest.
That sounds like a good argument for not drawing the line at the more extreme end. But that's not where Lego drew the line. A different toy company might decide to not produce anything related to violence, and yet a different toy company may decide to abandon using the internet and all the luxuries of modern life for the reasons you specify.
But that's not what Lego did. You said you have to draw a line, and they drew a line to the left of military vehicles and to the right of Star Wars and allowing themselves to use the internet.
I grew up playing with a lot of realistic toy guns and WWII era tanks. I hardly ever see kids play with that. I don't think Lego is the only company who decided not to make war vehicles, and I think many toy companies made this decision long, long time ago.
