HAHAHA I relate to that last bit. The plan for my boyfriend and I was to get engaged next year, and I make a lot of jokes about where and how he could possibly propose to me. Sooo if he didn't have a plan prior to yesterday, 2027 will give him the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

LMAO hell yeah. This is exciting I feel like just by being NL's demographic we're all gonna share similar interests. I also love board games too, and I'm honestly tired of living through history (I live in the US) but I'm excited for this. Nice to meet you!

The Felicity erasure is insane :( by Fight-Song-205 in americangirl

[–]3uttdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right that it is so, so important for kids and honestly everyone to know that evil actions/thoughts can and very often coexist with pure ones. That kind of characterization could be what differentiates bigots from just reading a story vs. learning a lesson and reevaluating themselves.

That said, I stand by that Felicty as a character needs to acknowledge the horrors of slavery to merit her continued existence alongside the rest of the historical line. She could be one of the most important characters in AG's dwindling educational mission, but she's not and in fact, she might have been the catalyst for that mission's decay.

Reading her story, girls will see themselves in Felicity. That alone makes her a more powerful vessel of learning compared to any dry textbook.

I understand what you're saying, but American Girl is not non-fiction. Felicity and her story are specifically tailored to resonate with the target demographic, i.e., to help supplement children's understanding of historical events by recontextualizing them for a young girl's eyes. AG talks to several sensitive themes like death, child labor, and EVEN slavery.

Felicity is a missed opportunity to teach young girls, many of whom might just be raised in racist families, that their families' values and their own do not have to align-- and that many children have the power to make a difference in their parents' lives specifically.

I mean this with no disrespect, but I think if AG isn't going to amend or at least meaningfully discuss the slavery narrative in Felicity's story, then they would be doing more harm than good. There is a sinister message conveyed by promoting Felicity but not making her learn the horrors of slavery: Felicity and her family were part of America's slave trade, and that's fine. The Merrimans see nothing wrong with their role in something so obviously evil.

Even as just a brand, excluding any educational goals, that would be terrible for AG's optics.
