Seriously, the hand-wringing over something like this is just sheer whacking off by people whose lives are so cushy they don't actually have anything legitimate to complain about.

Yeah at first I thought about how I had a toy army knife growing up, then realized that's a very American toy to have lmao. I do think though that making this a big deal is just adding to its popularity. Kids only think it's cooler since their parents are freaking out.

There are other versions with no pins required. But I found the pin ones hold up better in pla.

Remember, kids, if someone shows up to school with a paper knife, run, hide, fight in that order.

Instructions unclear. Who am I supposed to fight while I'm hiding?

Lmao I’ve only seen this toy in Korean memes where people print them super sized and instead of the blade it has a phone holder. I had no idea it was supposed to be a knife blade.

That is to say, the Korean youth already has the ridicule of this story covered.

Our daughter has two of them, but one of them has a blinking led which is so annoying in the car OMG I hate it.

For the uninitiated it's literally made of paper.

The article says

The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot, is made of fluorescent materials and available in different colours.

Is there more to it than that?

Well, that makes them like the edge of a freezie pop. Those are dangerous.

I don't think plastic would cut so well as it does in the article's video, but maybe it's not the only schematic.

Looks like the toy is plastic, but you can print and make ones out of paper (or cardstock?)

Seems about as violent as foam noodle swords?

Enough paper cuts and a human can bleed out. They have a right to be concerned. Should go back to hitting each other with sticks and rocks they find outside like I used to do as a kid.

When I was kid clackers were a fad with kids. The fad faded, which was good because clackers were annoying. I predict this fad will fade too. https://missoulian.com/clackers-original-1970s-ball-toy/youtube_6caea5e8-96bf-11e5-adaa-7b74afdb8914.html

I got very little respect for the culture of south korea.

Looks like they are consumerists to their core.
