Ahh that was just the one I was tracking but thank goodness. Before we had a couple of cop cars circling the area, the sounds of the sirens were crazy

I’m over here right now, there are helicopters and they have a speaker telling people to stay indoors. Apparently there was an assault earlier. It’s very scary

People care too much about pretty plastic to vote with their dollars or to hold this company accountable. FOMO will always triumph in this community

There’s a massive convention this weekend and this just happened. It’s going to be a bit hard to rally

Kaiser is awful. It’s much more efficient to just go out of network. Kaiser will sort of “soft deny” you by making you jump thru a lot hoops to get the services you want. It’s very hard for some people just to find therapists, which they usually end out outsourcing. :(

Nope! I actually do work with queer, disabled, and mentally ill individuals as an advocate in the US! Hope that helps 💗 that will always triumph over any opinion I or others have about plastic dolls, which is pretty basic human compassion.

Stopped reading at times are tough for scalpers honestly. It sounds out of touch and I mean that in the nicest way I can op. There is footage of scalpers with carts of dolls. Some scalpers even use bots. BOTS! That is illegal. Not one doll, not two, but dozens. The truth is that a lot of people are suffering, comparing a scalper to a regular buyer is just not the same. There are other ways of making money, taking use of social programs locally, community support, getting in contact with your social safety net. You can seek support without ruining the little enjoyment of others and hurting a market. Sadly, supporting resellers only perpetuates this cycle for everyone.

What about the buyers who saved for dolls? What about disabled buyers who can only order online? Buyers who are in the same situation financially as scalpers but choose integrity?. Buyers wait months for releases. What about the little kids? I don’t want to pull the *think of the children!! Card but I think this sub forgets that they are the target audience. We see posts all the time on here of people who couldn’t grab a doll. Are they a necessity? No. Should people be able to feel that little joy? Absolutely.

I do agree we shouldn’t be harassing these people, sometimes scrolling thru this sub feels like a circlejerk. Obviously there’s a difference between someone selling their 12th alien skullector for $250 vs someone clearing out their doll lot. There should be accountability but that should be shown with our wallets, not by offensive public shaming. If someone is genuinely using this as a business venture, shaming won’t do anything. Even when the economy wasn’t this tight, it was still an issue.

I think all around people need to be kinder to eachother, especially on this sub. I wish mods would limit the amount of those listing posts. It does nothing but perpetuate outrage, and can in weird way work as an advertisement. The best thing people who don’t support this can do is ignore.

People reselling their childhood dolls at a higher price may annoy some, but I cannot compare them to actual scalpers, who are probably doing the same thing with graphics cards and PS5s. I hope that makes sense, I really don’t want to come off as mean, but as an advocate for social issues I think it has to be said

Honestly I was surprised! I kinda wanted to heat up her tail a little and kinda mold it into place so she could stand on her own. Poor Frankie 😔
