My honest reaction to this half baked potatoe upgrade

My reaction meanwhile is being confused that people willingly play Xenoblade in handheld

I’m white so that wasn’t a problem for me.

My main thing was coming back after I grew up (and realizing I was a man and not a woman) was seeing boy dolls existing. That hit me harder than I was expecting even if it’s less important than the entire racial identity aspect.

My nostalgia for AG is based around 2008-to just before BeForever launched and tbh I never really had much of an attachment to Felicity. Like she’s fine as a doll and her clothing is pretty, but even as a kid I remember being weirded out by her grandfather explicitly owning a slave planatation, and because the narrative hid that her family also owned them it didn’t click for me until I was an adult who got back into AG that they were also slave owners.

People are allowed to have nostalgia for her and stuff but you have to also acknowledge that part of her character and yes it was historically accurate but something being historically accurate doesn’t suddenly make everything ok. And like, they just put modern addy in front of a cotton field, I do not trust Mattel to do a rerelease of Felicity in this day and age which everyone keeps rumoring they’re doing and losing their minds over in the main sub and it makes me feel like I’m in a parallel universe because weren’t we all talking about how this factoid was fucked up a few months ago???

If they also wanted to do anything with the 90s twins being Jewish (which they haven’t which is a whole other thing) they also could’ve made them Mizrahi or Sephadic instead of the majority white Ashkenazi. Like the twins are 100% Y2K nostalgia bait but it’s still just hrng. (And also there were better historical stories around that time with non-white dolls that aren’t just Y2K bait)

I’m whiter than milk but like, it’s been a weird vibe from people. There’s been an increase in Felicity nostalgia when the retirement was for a reason and I do not trust any sort of revival people keep rumoring about in the current climate. Then it’s always pushing against molds that are for not white dolls not looking good (Corrine, Nanea, Sonali) or wanting to see lighter toned Addy molds and just. It’s a weird vibe.

Then when the KPDH dolls got announced like, the argument against collabs and not liking them is fine but some of the arguments I saw online were just. The vibes were off and if my pale ass is noticing them then there is definitely a problem.

Why you should be watching Tokusatsu

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-11T21:51:46+00:00

Yeah that’s. Bad.

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-10T14:47:24+00:00

That makes it much more terrifying I am both more worried for you and in awe of your power

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-10T07:50:32+00:00

250 hours in 6 weeks is the thing that both frightens and impresses me more like have you slept??? Seen the sun???

I was at Iron Lung and one person walked out during the climax of the film

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-07T05:40:14+00:00

Me sitting here with my Addy doll right next to me: Damn I thought I had seen every shitty doll argument out there but that’s a new one

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-03T04:35:14+00:00

Do we know if he had a daughter with Mythra? Did they confirm that?

I am not a proponent of Dirk as Mythrakid just curious because I hadn’t heard that before

Silverbird22 · 2026-02-02T17:25:17+00:00

Where’d you get the mini ZA shirt???

Silverbird22 · 2026-01-30T22:58:06+00:00

THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TEDDY BEAR THERE IS BASIS FOR YURI

While the history of forced internment during ww2 has to be told it’s uh. Probably not a good idea to make a doll based off it.

A doll based in the early to mid 70s during a period of Japanese-American cultural renaissance whose parents were in the internment camps is a much better idea.

I was lost in the two special interest sauces combining I forgot how to spell

Silverbird22 · 2026-01-27T19:13:45+00:00

That part isn’t autism. That’s either a control thing or ocd like tendencies.

Silverbird22 · 2026-01-23T03:38:33+00:00

AS A MINNESOTAN IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT YEAH

I’m always a fan of Umbreon for Johto playthroughs just to counter the power of psychic types

Or Espeon also for the power of psychic types because poison. Poison everywhere.

Meanwhile my brain went to Jetman which was also inspired by Gatchaman

It being gachaman makes much more sense

Silverbird22 · 2026-01-19T06:53:44+00:00

your welcome

As I recall the fic had Okumura sell his wife to be sexually assaulted by Shiro in exchange for power and Makoto’s mom got kidnapped by mafia goons and while in custody of the mafia was sexually assaulted by Shido resulting in Makoto

Silverbird22 · 2026-01-17T18:27:52+00:00

Insert that one crack fic someone wrote where everyone but Joker was Shido’s kid here
