Is the magic 8 ball rude?

Answer 1

First of all, different people have different perceptions and definitions of what "rude" is. What you may personally see as rude, might not be seen as rude by most of everyone else.

Second of all, there are many manufacturers of magic 8 balls. Not all of them are the same. Some are child friendly, some are original and some have been designed for adults.

Your answer is both yes and no. It depends on your personal perception of what's "rude" and where you buy the 8 ball from. If you buy it from an adult entertainment shop, for example, yes it will be "rude". If you buy it from a children's toy shop, it won't be.
