davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2022

[davidd]

Even on doll & figure forums?  That surprises me a little because at least the doll forums I look at have always been a nice happy place away from the madness.

There's been a lot of friction on one of the Action Figure forums. One of the members has gone in to "easily triggered mode" and has been lodging complaints with Admin about other members. So far one member has had their account deleted in response. Admin seems to be going out of their way to placate the whiner. 

Same person has an account on another action figure forum, and tried to get some sh***t started, but the Admin there will have none of it, thank goodness.

One of the other doll forums has become largely a hate-fest against the Smart Doll company and its owner. One of the recently announced Smart Doll costumes has a red and dark grey color scheme with a red stripe on one arm. The Instagram Hordes immediately pounced, calling it a "Nazi uniform" and ex-pressing outrage over the insensitivity. It didn't look "Nazi" to me, but the viciousness became so intense that the Smart Doll account, which was once a thriving "community" by Instagram standards, has now turned off comments. Members of one particular doll forum have had a long-running topic for complaints and grumbling about Smart Dolls, but they kicked it in to high gear over the "Nazi" stuff. Now they're off on a tangent on "child safe," and, swear-to-god, a full-on adult forum member is whining because she pinched her finger in a Smart Doll joint and she thinks they should have safety warnings. It's a ffffkkknnnggg vinyl doll! It's not a fffkkknnnggg combine harvester or wood chipper! Deal with it!

Okay, anyway...
