This guy sounds like the worst boss ever to work for, a man who just wants robots to fulfill his goals. That is besides his terrible product that I remember my kid sister begging, screaming, and crying for in a shop until my (broke) dad finally broke down and bought her one. Disgusting!

Working for a guy like that can be the best career move you'll ever make. He's a bastard, sure, but he's a bastard that built a billion-dollar business. There are many paths to mastery, but learning directly from one is among the quicker ones.

So something kids want is a terrible product?

The argument that if someone wants it, it must be good is clearly not a viable one.

Hyperbolic Examples: So something drug addicts want is a terrible product? So something murderers want is a terrible product?

I would say that it is a terrible product because it promotes a self image that is over sexualized to young children.
