Reacting To YOUR Unpopular Fashion Doll Opinions!!

[@yaboyharv]

Playing with dolls didn't give me body issues. The adults in my childhood who wouldn't stop commenting on my body gave me body issues.

[@emmakayisnotok7322]

THIS ^^^

[@polly_nah]

100%, I think it's easy for the adults to blame toys rather than examine their own toxic behaviour... And now we have such a wonderful variety of body types (at least compared to when I was a kid in the 90s lol) as well as types of dolls with all the various hobbies and careers they can have, etc. Or even dolls who are not even human at all 😅 like that's something that's interesting to a kid, not the waist size lol

[@memorian8472]

This so much!! I remember even being confused when adults would fight and debate on TV about what dolls were teaching girls bad body image and being confused cause I legit never thought about my own body when I played with my dolls. It was adults, teachers, and relatives that were the ones that gave my body issues.

[@khazermashkes2316]

as a person who tends to have stronger interest in BJDs over fashion dolls… there is a VERY classist undertone to the gatekeeping. like there is no other reason for such a high degree of hostility against people who can’t afford $600 OOAKs. a ton of overlap there with the “no handmade, top brands only” toxic lolita fashion communities

To me, people saying that dolls give children body dysmorphia falls into the same realm as people saying that video games cause violent behavior, it's just people trying to find a scapegoat instead of unpacking actual societal problems that lead to such issues

[@kais.dollhouse]

as a child development professional, i very VERY much disagree that fashion dolls are always bad for kids. i definitely think fashion dolls should be getting more inclusive of body types (and they are! love that) but it’s really the caregivers who control what body image lessons are being learned from toys like barbies. they open up so much opportunity for dramatic play, developing empathy, learning about the world and themselves. i love being able to connect with my students about our love for the same thing!

[@blondbraid7986]

Yes, I couldn't agree more. Also, as someone who's actually worked in a daycare, kids are smart enough to tell the difference between a tiny plastic doll and a real human being, and kids too young to understand the difference are also too young to have enough self-awareness to worry about what others will think of their looks. I think it's just caregivers who want to absolve themselves from actually examining their own behavior around kids and what kind of role models they are.

[@mooncat4376]

Is it just me, but when I developed self-image issues as a kid, it was never bc of the dolls I played with. For me, it was a combination of media and seeing people who looked different from me get validation for their beauty irl. So yeah, I never really got the idea that dolls are a primary source of things like body dymorphia. Don't most kids use their imagination when playing? Then again, I can't speak for other people😅

[@indigomad]

As someone who has this condition and played with fashion dolls as a kid, I can tell you that they are misunderstanding what body dysmorphic disorder is. BDD is a serious, debilitating disorder and the causes are more complicated than playing with fashion dolls. I will say though, as a kid I felt bad that most of my barbies were all the same - white, blonde, and blue-eyed. I was a brunette brown-eyed girl and it made me sad that beautiful, perfect barbie didn’t look at all like me. I remember my mom going out and buying barbies with much more diversity, along with ones that looked more like me, and it really enhanced my enjoyment of barbie dolls as well as showing me that beauty does not have to follow an incredibly restrictive ideal

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

My Barbie’s lived in a world that occasionally had them throwing beach parties in the sewer play set with the ninja turtles. Like their legs were freakishly long. Never did I feel I was in the real world when playing with fashion dolls.

It's like they go "okay we'll include these dolls.... but over there." Can they be involved in the fantasy? Why can they be in the princess or mermaid lines? Can they get pretty fashion packs where you can change them into a ball gown??

[@irenei4736]

I never undestood the vitriol adults have always had towards Dolls bodies. I grew up fat and everything around me made sure i knew i was morally weak and ugly and unappealing for It, cartoons and magazines and movies and adults. Never has a Doll make me think about my weight or the fact that i wasn't blonde and pretty. I even thougt for some time that Barbie had a huge butt because She coudnt fit the pants of another slightly smaller Doll and at the time if you weren't as skinny as possible you were fat, i lerned from One of those stupid "Is Barbie giving your child anorexia?!?!?!" Articles that She was the Ideal body tipe. The narrative that a Doll could do that , not the comments of real people Is so stupid. today children even have the privilege of different body tipes in Dolls and media in general.

[@KimberRose16]

Me neither. I’ve always been bigger but I never thought anything about it with my dolls. I hated when people used to ask me how I felt about it when stuff like that started being brought up in the 2000s and early 2010s.

After getting used to seeing the new Barbies, the old ones look very weird to me now, and the exaggeration of her body is a lot more apparent.

[@vanveleca]

the Winx Club gaslighting segment had me rolling 😂

[@NoiseDay]

As a diehard Novi Stars fan, I do think we overhype them. They have nearly no articulation and the first one I bought was freaking fused at the thighs, so only her head and shoulders could move. That is not posable or player friendly. But their big alien heads and their glittery inset eyes (first time I'd ever seen them) are so gorgeous and exactly what I love (namely, aliens) and who the heck else is making dolls that look like this?? NOBODY! That being said, they are still, well... fashion doll quality (before fashion doll quality shot up in more recent years).

[@strayiggytv]

I would be so hype if they got rebooted with more articulation! Like that's a dream line for me if it ever comes to pass!

[@maximillianlylat1589]

This, i loved the doll line but that lack of articulation really brought them down. I like to pose my collectables its why i cant do high dollar figures that break the minute you touch them

[@tvguts]

Totally agree. I have two (Tilly and Una) and they are GORGEOUS but they are not posable at all. Plus Tilly has a big TV embedded in her chest which means she can't even wear shirts! They're great little display pieces and the gimmicks are fun, but I understand why they didn't catch on with kids.

[@kittymae335]

I love aliens and I want all the novi stars, though I still have only one so far; I too think they’re not quite classifiable as fashion dolls but that doesn’t make me love them less even though I am mainly a fashion doll collector

[@grandmasgopnik9642]

I know I always wanted to collect them because they are kind of super cool but they are on the small side and lack articulation. I do like them tho and wish they had been around longer 😢

[@victoria_is]

I’ve honestly always been confused by the whole “doll give girls body dysmorphia thing” cause out of all of the things that gave me an eating disorder and body dysmorphia dolls were not one of them. This is not to invalidate any one who has had those feelings by any means but I’m getting the impression this concern has been blown out of proportion by the general public but that’s just me

[@thisbeem2714]

I wonder if the dolls are affecting mama's body dysmorphia and therefore she is projecting. It is my opinion that, it isn't the doll"a body types that we should be worried about so much as a lack of diversity in certain doll lines.

[@daonedaonly942]

This is a great nuanced take. Doll bodies do seem to affect kids body image issues, however parents and media play a much stronger role that does not seem to be taken seriously (obviously its much easier to blame others than yourself when you're a parent).

[@NoName-dx1no]

Honestly I think it’s celebrities or families that would affect the body image more because with family well their family so their opinion about how you look or your body would tend to hold more weight, like moms skipping meals and saying they look fat in front of their kids would make kids question their looks more than an inanimate doll. And with celebrities well they’re human like you, and the media tends to have celebrities be the role model that girls should be and look like and every way, even including their alleged diets. With dolls well they’re anything the kids want to be and most kids know a doll and them can’t be compared because ones plastic and ones a living breathing human, even as a fat child the thing I wanted to emulate from Barbie was her fashion style, life especially having many great careers,the love of pink, or being a princess and mermaid. I think most moms would project onto the doll especially with moms having self image issues being so common throughout the world, being sort of jealous of the body and the fashion style forgetting that they could be like “Barbie” too if they simply just dressed how they really wanted and be confident

Thank GOD we're talking about the insane MH pricing shenanigans.

I wasn't playing with my G1 monster high dolls and thinking " why aren't I skinny and green like Frankie 😢" I was thinking"these dolls are so cool lol they have big feet"

[@snailart14]

I think it's a slippery slope though because the monster high dolls are obviously REALLY cartoony, I mean, I ain't ever gonna grow wings or horns or have purple skin. I think this is still more of an issue with Barbie dolls. I wish the more diverse dolls had better or higher quality builds though.

[@roxassora2706]

That and they're in their boxes which makes the value go up. Still bullshit.

[@grandmasgopnik9642]

I like both styles. I think going more realistic in body styles can still be cartoony I’m honestly just more here for the more different body types. I hope they’re more different. It seems they have just gone for the trend/current female body ideal in my mind. I just really like character casts that when you line them up they are very different in silhouette. Currently they have just leaned more into a slight pear shaped body. I love that body shape in my bjds but you know. Representing more body types would add to a more interesting cast/doll line and bring that realism people look for while maintaining style.

[@DhaniNMarie]

Another underrated opinion: For the Disney princess/Frozen/Encanto dolls, they should've made the dolls of the tough/girl boss/fighter characters (looking at you, Luisa, Merida, Mulan, Moana, and Raya) more like action figure/doll hybrids like the DC superhero girls dolls.

[@Theravingranter]

I think they did that with Raya and Luisa and with Moana, they all had unique body molds. However this doesn’t make sense with Mulan and Merida as even though they are “girl bosses” they aren’t muscular. Mulan is certainly fit and has had some action figure type dolls but that really hinders the whole aspect of them being dolls. If they have molded on clothing they look plasticy and can’t move dynamically which someone like Mulan would have to. For Mulan a made-to-move body type and more casual clothing would be best instead of always representing her with her matchmaker outfit. If they do have her come with that have it have that feature where you can use water to wipe it off and have it come with her warrior and civilian clothes. Also make her hair able to be cut but it can grow long if you want it to (this is a feature they used to use in some older dolls). For Merida I would say she should stay much the same just less glitter, smaller eyes, defined freckles and always come with a bow and arrow even if it’s a budget doll. She could also benefit from more movable arms but it’s not a big thing.

An interesting insight into the BJD community; even if there are collectors with their noses up in the air, I think the fashion doll customization community has had amazing effects on the western BJD culture as a whole. I started collecting them around the 2011 2012 mark, and when I was starting out I felt there was actual stigma against doll collectors who crafted everything themselves for their BJDs, especially if they were starting out or didn't have professional skills yet. I heard the term "hillbilly dolls" thrown around a couple of times in relation to that. But that perspective was shifting already when I was fresh in the hobby, especially since Monster High doll customisation was steadily gaining traction, so I didn't really experience it much. I figured that this is a nice viewpoint to share that I don't really see discussed, not even within the BJD community. I realise I'm late to the party, but I still wanted to share it.

Dysmorphia- I played the sh- out of Bratz as a kid and I never once wanted to look like them (lmao I'm ftm). Also, MAJOR point to be made regarding dolls and body image, bringing it back to the person complaining about crossplay between lines. I had both Bratz and Barbie and they do not share clothes very well. One could argue that this made me more accepting of different body types. Some people have bigger hips like Barbie. Some people have shorter torsos like Bratz. And these people cannot share clothes and have them look good and fit right. Bringing awareness to the true toxic source- the fast fashion industry that treats every item like one size fits all- will help decrease body dysmorphia.

My unpopular opinion is that even though we have more representation of ethnicities in fashion dolls, they still have a long way to go with representing disabilities. The only disabled fashion dolls on the market are Barbie fashionistas ( kinda limited in fashions and play sets), Lottie dolls (all of them look like nine year olds and most of them are white), and Frankie from mind high ( personally I love). I few like the gap in disability rep in dolls is far too steep. Plus most dolls don’t look fashionable or trendy or cute! Give us disabled dolls that still look cool! Rant over.

[@MushroomMayhem]

I literally started binging Jem last night lol. Also, I collect fashion dolls AND BJDs. Unfortunately, the obnoxious BJD fans are the very loud minority. Most collectors are pretty nice, and there's a ton of us (myself included) that are chronically ill and it's an easy hobby to find joy and companionship in. My hot take though: Smartdolls are insanely overated, overpriced, and all their face sculpts look exactly the same.

I feel bad saying this about an artist…but SAME. Bruh that’s a big anime doll I can figure that out. The only good ones I have seen are ones that’s have been highly customized by artists. Plus some of the “inclusive” lines such as mastectomy sculpt came out with was … strange. As someone who does customize dolls with medical conditions I can say it has been added as a strange add on and not as a very realized idea. I use it as a way to cope with the patients and lives of people I have seen dealing with chronic Illnesses as a healthcare provider. I don’t think you need to be in that position to do this idea and I think the idea of dolls with mastectomies and insulin pumps are great! It’s just a bit odd the way they have been implemented I suppose? I work mainly with cancer patients and while it is highly stylized something about big anime tiddy next to a perfectly tidy anime scar saying “mastectomy” feels weird when some take part of the breast, whole breast, some of the muscular tissue some have partial implants it all depends and usually require multiple jp drains post op so they have multiple scars from the procedure. These patients go through a lot and while I think a stylization shouldn’t be discouraged I don’t know. This one hit me weird 😅. TLDR; dunno why not a fan of the smart dolls. They hit me weird.

Another thing on the high school doll subject- when I was younger a lot of the movies I consumed were high school movies, and that media almost made me feel like life was basically going to be over after I graduated high school, and nothing was going to be fun after that point!

BJD collector here! Yeah, a few people in the hobby are absolutely terrible, especially on a certain Tumblr blog. Those people sometimes spoil the hobby for beginners and the amount of times I've seen said blog bully beginner sculpters and faceup artists is extremely disheartening. Like I'm sculpting a bjd but I'm scared to post it on Instagram because I don't want to deal with the negatively and bullying. Like obviously all hobbies have bad apples (side eyeing the MH Fandom here), but you just have to remember that a hobby is meant to make YOU happy, no one else.

[@novembercrust]

Regarding the completionism comment, I definitely think when collecting is your hobby it is important to be extremely mindful about what you are consuming for both your mental and financial health (and that's not even touching on environmental and consumeristic impacts or ethics). I also have observed the comments where people seem miserable trying to be completionists with their collection, and that reminds me of the clinical definition of addiction, where its a compulsion and you're no longer doing it for the enjoyment. I get sad for them but also a little frustrated, I think there's a stereotype of a collector as exhibiting this behavior and I don't like exemplifying it for the trolls to latch on to. And to not point fingers, I for sure for myself, while not strict a completionist or anything, don't go out and buy every doll I like. It would be financially irresponsible, it would take up too much space, and I would probably start to feel bad and guilty and the fun would go out of it. And I definitely can get obsessive just searching for dolls on the used market, and that alone as made me feel weird and anxious so I dial back on that. All in all, just be thoughtful, responsible collector. And frankly, impulse shopping is something the whole world should be more self reflective about no matter what the item is.

[@dolliegurl4607]

Watching your video as I write this- the only issue I would have in "playing" with different doll lines (like RH and Barbie) is that I find the bigger heads means they are harder to lean or balance. As a kid, Barbie was married to G.I. Joe and their kids were some kiddles and the Sunshine family lived next door and visited often. I don't think kids care. I haven't purchased a pink Laguna doll, I like the pink one better but there is a certain charm the 1st wave dolls have. But I would get her if I had a chance to, I just haven't bought ANY of the new MH dolls. BJD? They are nice, but my preference is for dolls that aren't so..fragile. I feel like dolls are meant to be played with and BJD dolls seem like they are more for display only. EAH- I don't collect them and came late to the game with these. I think they're quite lovely though. Bratz- they're cool except for their shoes/feet. Lose Barbie's shoe and she goes barefoot. Lose a Bratz shoe and she had an amputation. MTM bodies- yay they pose, boo they look ugly and are often a different color or fade to a different color. And the ankle joint makes their feet unstable. Boy dolls- not into any of them. Ken is NOT essential for Barbie to have a great adventure. I have a few boy dolls, but unless he's crossdressing, he's not much fun. Lol

I collect video game merch mostly because that’s my core interest, but as I become an adult and embrace my queerness, the fashion dolls I used to scoff at have become much more charming and interesting to me.

I love your channel a lot, I’ve learned a lot! You have a soothing voice and your humor delivery has more of a subtle punch because of it. I don’t think I’d be nearly as excited to see Monster High dolls or Bratz, or the others you cover if I didn’t find your channel.

I’m a 38 year old woman with two kids who just couldn’t resist series 2 of Rainbow High (my first doll was a WB Poppy I found at Goodwill for $10 brand spanking new in the box). Now my kids know they have their dolls and I have mine, but they can still come into my office and play with my dolls with me. And I get a little choked up thinking about it sometimes. I never missed my Barbies when I gave them to my younger sister, but dolls are now giving me joy again. And I’m just so happy that they do that for so many people.

4:58 I think that they meant play together in the same universe.

I also LOVE Bratz dolls due to nostalgia as I have so many amazing memories of playing with them with my sister, but I digress! Anyway, even though I’m not a collector I just wanted to say I absolutely adore your channel and the content you create. It’s so nice to learn about the community from the outside looking in, and also about the history of Barbie and other dolls in your other videos. Your content is just so relaxing and I guess wholesome? I don’t feel like that’s the right word, but the way you articulate yourself and speak about your opinions is great because you are firm in how you feel but not over the top, loud, or judgmental about anything. I know I’m gonna get something well informed when I put on a video! Idk if you’ve talked about it before or are comfortable, but you’ve mentioned a lot your mom buying you Barbie’s as a kid, I would be interested to know your experience of growing up as a “boy” that liked Barbie’s. Was your mom reluctant in buying them for you? Did she not care? How parents handle this is always an interesting topic for me! I would love to know more if you’d ever like to do a video about it!
