Some people are talking about how they don't think this is a pride doll, because it doesn't scream pride. A pride doll literally just has to be LGBT+ to be "considered a pride doll" There's plenty of dolls like that, I live the uniqueness of this doll and how you have to know the story behind her to know she's a "pride doll"

[@radiationprince]

The doll isn't even LGBT+ tho. She just said she was adopted by a gay couple. That's it. Obviously it doesn't have to "scream pride" to be about pride, but thats not why ppl are saying this. It's because it just feels like she wanted to make a monster doll then slapped an lgbt positive backstory onto her after the fact. It feels like hollow performative allyship. That's why people are pointing it out.

[@Dolllynx]

Thank you Flashflood! For me, Pride month is about acceptance and equality and she being called a monster, sewn together from different human parts and still able to find love and love herself is a good representation for me personally. I did not give her an exlicit sexual orientation because I did not find that important. Since she's fighting for equality I thought it was already obvious that she's also LGBT+, my bad. It's totally fine if people wished for something different as a representation for pride month. This is just mine and the way I feel about it.

[@ThatBoyLevente]

can i just say. pride isnt just about lgbtqia+. its about equality, and being proud of who you are. the lgbtqia's just adopted the day as their own. i hate when people dont understand this. its a month of passion, and being proud. not if your gay or not. Theres gay pride, and normal pride.

[@vedamerrell6620]

I feel like this doll is the true reprisentation of the fight for equlity. On the outside she looks very creepy, and disturbing, but when you hear her story, and feel her kindness, you start to relize that she dizerves as much as you and I. That is what makes me love this doll because it makes you feel something, and I wish one day that my dolls will be like that, more than a decoration sitting on a shelf. Also sorry for my spelling. :[

[@tracycompagnari6955]

The deep symbolism you created in this doll is so amazing yet a little spooky

[@saml8802]

I think this doll is a great portrayal of what many LGBTQ+ kids go through. Kelani was made by her "parent" with a certain purpose in mind and when she rebelled against that she was forced to leave in order to be herself. But out in the world people scorned her because of her differences (something she has no control over, and can't change) and she faced the same circumstances many that many LGBTQ+ kids who run away from home face (threat of violence, homelessness etc). IDK I understand what people are saying about it not being overtly pride-themed but for me, I can see the parallels that dollynx drew from real life in a more literal sense.

[@CaraRowen]

I can also see the parallels, and that's only adding the offense.

[@Formoka]

Love this! Idk if you’d care, but I tend to wait a while before hitting the notification bell on the KZbinrs I watch.

[@Cassies_Critter_Circus]

I love this doll and the blm inclusion but I wish they had added some more pride elements like rainbow hair or somthing like that.....

[@pillbugheart]

I think it was a super amazing representation of pride. Pride isn't about flashy things, its about fighting for human rights. I feel like something like rainbow hair is just taking pride at a surface level, only seeing the flashy rainbows and sparkles. Imo, having a doll that doesn't focus on the flashy features or glitter and unicorns is really good, because it represents the fight that pride is really about. The rainbows are an added bonus tho

[@Dolllynx]

@@pillbugheart Thank you for that explanation, I totally agree with you!

[@Dolllynx]

I tried to incule the rainbow with the rainbow vinyl in the heart on her shirt. It's a little subtle tho, I agree xD

[@echoki]

i would love a show with this type of character design.

[@dawnthegoblin]

While I love this doll it's kind of insensitive to give a dark-skinned doll blue eyes due to its negative "magical poc" trope. eye color is directly linked to skin tone via melanin. While it's not impossible it's super unlikely. I'm not saying change it, but be aware of it in the future when choosing eye types. Again, it's an amazing doll and I love it.

[@electraheart7745]

Yo. I can’t help but think the same thing when I see the dark skinned dolls with light blue or gray eyes I think green is more common than the former. I’m American and not white so I tend to overanalyze anything about race but in my experience a lot European doll artists don’t see this is a con. I’m not surprised honestly.

[@blemmchan]

That coffee colour on the other eye is so pretty. Maybe it’s cause it caught the light easier than the others? I dunno but it’s so pretty anyway.

[@hollowolfpup9958]

While I do agree with some comments that, there really isn't a lot of LGBT+ inspiration to this doll, there is so much I love about it. The backstory is sweet and cute, the inclusion of different skin tones and races is important in anything pride related, and the general vibe of found family in the story is just. It's very good. I was a bit iffy earlier on in the video, but I think you've really outdone yourself on this one!
