He was stealing his sister's toys and fucking with them in ways that scared her. Lad isn't innocent.

True but that doesn't mean he deserves the insane trauma the toys put him through

I feel like this is like the natural world, no he didn’t deserve it, but the toys were also just defending themselves

He seems to be doing pretty well in the third movie.

All we saw was that he was a garbage man now and likes music. Just because someone went through something crazy doesn't mean they will never work a day in their life lol

Because the movie already heightens the toys to being alive the punishment is probably more representative of the emotions and desires of vengeance his sister had.

If he did the shit he did on a puppy, y'all would be saying he's a future serial killer.

If I did the things i do in video games IRL you would be saying I should be in jail.

If my mother had balls she'd be my father

If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a bicycle

[...] she'd be a bike*.
Apparently, the usage of "bike" is important in that joke, because it's a British slang for "slut".

Good to know but I'm sure they're about the same because the intention is "people ride her"

Then again slang is slang

I know I'm being pedantic, but that's the word used in the video and that's the slang term, specifically "bike", probably because it sounds more punchy.

Nice bike

To be even more pedantic, the guy is Italian and that is relevant to the character. In Italy we say "if my grandmother had wheels she would be a wheelbarrow". He pauses a moment before saying the joke, probably because he didn't remember the word wheelbarrow and went for bike instead.

I took apart my toys and made new toys out of them all the time when I was a kid and several decades later, I appear to be a normal member of society without having committed a single murder.

My friend's sister took a permanent marker and wrote her name and drew a stick figure on his G.I. Joe Terror Drome toy (one of the most expensive in the line at the time). No one hoped she would be haunted by Cobra action figures for her crime.

Bro grew up to be a useful member of society in the recycling and garbage recollection department

I enjoyed that part of the story. I like to imagine he picks items out of the trash that could be reused in his projects.

He even enjoys his work, it's one of the most thankless ones. we see he enjoys music while working.

Since he learned that inanimate objects are alive. What job would he go for? Bro isn't fucked up and working a crappy job. He is trying to save the toys he finds

Nah Sid was a little shit. Hopefully he gets therapy for the toy stuff and they home in on why he's an asshole.

He's doing alright now, got a steady job, seems happy, gets to work outdoors and express himself

He m80'd them and melted them down.

And?

Those are supposed to be inanimate objects. You know how many toys a kid destroys out of their curiosity and experimenting?

AFAIK he loves his dog and it loves him back (that's a win in my book), and he hasn't done anything bad to a single living thing (beside messing with his sister, but who wasn't messing with their siblings when little?).

To him, the toys were just as inanimate and lifeless as the M80s. To take it a step further, if the M80s were also sentient he still wouldn't know.

Also the 4th movie shows that something is alive if it's considered a toy/played with. So Sid did consider his creations toys that he played with.

Justice for Sid, but burn whatever English teacher failed this meme maker.
