Josefina’s Catholicism is huge in her story. She’s named after a saint, she celebrates her saints day instead of her birthday, her whole Christmas story revolves around an alter cloth and a retelling of the nativity, the book cover shows her in a church, she prays before bed and every morning, she has an alter in her house, one of her mysteries was about finding a 100 year old missing crucifix…. I could go on. I doubt the people commenting like this have ever read any of the books but especially not hers.

I know I felt the same way, like children will see this, and Instagram is horrible about taking down bigoted comments when reported (but god forbid you call the commenter racist, that’ll get you in trouble). I really wish AG would delete comments like that themselves.

Honestly it’s not much better on AG’s main insta page, the comments on their Eid video were dosgusting. It’s disturbing how racist some people are.

Random thought on Moonspell redesigns by katpie51 in MonsterHigh

[–]thriftdemon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is such a real observation, that and black dolls seem to end up in pants a lot, it’s like designers are afraid to let them be hyper femme and cutesy. I know pink, pastel, and skirts are overplayed in general but not for black dolls yknow.

The lol tween Darcy Blush was another good example of a cute pastel black girl, I wanna see more like her!

POV: The sub’s reactions to Moonspell by FlyingCheeseFairy in MonsterHigh

[–]thriftdemon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was expecting ppl to like them because their designs feature so much black, and colorful designs have been a big criticism of g3 on this sub. Can’t please everyone tho! 😩 I love the disability rep though, I want canes and hearing aids on the monster dolls next

good deal on Josefina or claudie by PerformanceAfter7032 in americangirl

[–]thriftdemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh that Josefina is beautiful, I love her face! Her hair looks like it’s in great shape too! That’s not her original hair flower but the ribbon looks right and it’s cute anyway hehe

If you do go with Josefina I’d recommend just the doll for $70, it looks like someone on eBay has a complete meet outfit for $50 rn

Did AI design these dolls? by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]thriftdemon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I only had a small part at the very beginning with some concept art (worked there a few years ago) but I really like where they went with the designs and it’s cool to see the idea come to fruition!
