No need to apologize. I see your point about my post seeming the same...
  
No, no. I’m saying that the scene “reminds me of some of the Abu Graib pictures”, and that I find the scene disturbing. Not as disturbing as the Abu Graib pictures, but disturbing nonetheless.

I’m not sure what accusations you’re claiming I’m throwing about. I find the scene disturbing, and I don’t think its a helpful scene, or that it adds anything to the set. It’s not something I would feel comfortable allowing children to see. I’m not calling for a ban, or a recall, I’m just presenting my view.

Your view is that children shouldn’t see the box a children’s toy comes in. It does imply a change. In general, when I present my view to someone that they are disturbing me, I don’t just want them to be aware of the disturbance, I am implying that they stop disturbing me.
  
Right. I’m not seeing the point here. Please see the “reminds me of” bit above again.

I do see that point. Everyone has the right to express their opinion but you should be aware how people will react to issues you present in doing so. Saying a toy reminds you of a horrible political military controversy is not the same thing as saying I didn’t like this toy because it was hard to build. It may not have been meant as a serious implication, but it can be taken so.
  
Best regards
