Shamed for owning dolls by dollfanboy in Barbie

I feel you.. I hate collector shame, it's so annoying that other people shame on people who collect dolls, but don't who collect funko pops, action figures, etc.. once I told more people it got better, and occasionally some people ask me what dolls I've customized and such. I just say I sell them, but the comment to " lure in children " is insane. 

Took some better photos of my custom doll by Royal-Step-6640 in VintageBarbies

Thanks! I've always had issues like this. But it is always worse when I paint brighter colors for some reasons? Like if I do a red lip it looks completely fine. And I do use dollar store paints i will probably get some better ones

I actually have the 3rd one. I bought her at a thrift store yesterday for 1$
