Thread: Do you think “Brats dolls” are appropriate for little girls?

Aderleth23: Thee Hand!: I was actually talking about things like the PATRIOT Act, Randy Weaver, David Koresh, and Dawn Welsh, just a vague pissed off rant of mine and how Americans seem to be blind to our freedoms being taken away for false security. But that's been my point all along, if no one wanted the dolls, the manufacturer would not make them, so obviously people want them, and although it's sick, it shouldn't be wrong....

Aderleth23: Nobody's talking about banning the dolls (or at least I'm not, and I don't think the guy you're responding to is either). No one is, yet he keeps insisting we are.

Aderleth23: Devil's Food:   Aderleth23: Devil's Food:   Aderleth23: Thee Hand!: "I think it's sick that you draw horse testicles and masturbate to it, but I damn well support your right to do so!" That's about right. Although, really, who doesn't want to masturbate to drawings of horse testicles? Awkward silence. You know you've got a thing for horse testicles. But I can't draw! That's like...

Aquila: These are the role models for girls. Sorry my daughter chooses role models that are actually living beings.

Aderleth23: I'm all for slender, pretty, and well dressed (which, depending on the context, sometimes means slutty outfits), but these are traits best developed by adult women with well established senses of self worth, and lots of confidence. Shoving such body image issues down the throats of impressionable little girls is probably a really bad idea. I think you're right. There is a reason why we have Age of Consent laws all around...

Thee Hand!: call me cassandra: I think this ignores the whole marketing aspect--the age-specific targeting that goes on constantly--on television, in schools, fast food, school supplise such as pens, pencils, binders, clothing, music. These things are no longer just a toy. It's a package. Television, movies, concerts, cds, dvds. It's very difficult to avoid not just the Bratz, but Hannah Montana, High School Musical, all of these...

Thee Hand!: The One who is greatly underestimated: Thee Hand!: call me cassandra: Thee Hand!: Oh, I'm well informed. Here's the thing, no one is forcing you to buy the dolls. It's the business owner's decision, they want to sell the dolls, so they should be able to. Obviously these dolls are profiting, or they would not sell them. Here's what it comes down to... If I buy a business, I should hold the right to do...

Ashley*The Original USP Attention Whore*: No, most of clothing marketed for little girls isn't appropriate for little girls either. I recently started potty training my daughter, they had bikini style underpants in her size....... she is not yet 2 years old Wtf???
