I just was alerted about some hateful comments on my post about American Girl and their treatment of dolls of color. I just removed the comments, but I can't believe I have to tell people this again: Please don't be racist, rude towards other religions or transphobic on a DOLL BLOG.
This isn't the first time I've had to say something like this, and I do admit the AG fandom has gotten ugly sometimes. I even remember coming out of the closet because of homophobia that was running rampant on AGIG. But this is supposed to be the place away from all of that hatred, where we can discuss American Girl - the good and the bad - without resorting to flat-out
discrimination.
It's 2024. If you feel like commenting something rude towards other people on my page, go read an American Girl book. Probably Chrissa's. I don't think she would condone this behavior.
I remember I used to see a comment that asked about SEA/EA heritage in POC/DOC and I found that a little offensive to me personally whoever wrote that question…
I am so sorry that happened! Reading the comments, that guy seems to be some sort of creep and predator and probably does the things he mentioned or worse! I would not trust him to be left alone with children, especially little girls! I would hate to see what he would do to them! He might have hurt his kids as well. Maybe still does. He seems messed up... I am so sick and tired of people hating on others who are different then they are! People like them really tick me off!😡
Sydney, again, I want to thank you for creating this safe space and working hard to keep it safe. I support you and everything you stand for, and I know there are many others on this blog that do, as well. Just wanted to say that.
Redrockcrafts2, this was supposed to be a response to your heart emoji, but it popped up somewhere else. Somewhere you wrote thanking me for clarifying what happened, but I can’t find it, so I will simply tell you here that you’re most welcome, thank you for the heart emoji, its very sweet, and thank you for your forgiveness and understanding.
Okay, so this is unrelated. Today is the release for the mystery comic Julie and the Blue Guitar. I just checked the American Girl website, and it has been backordered. I wonder why. It is still available on Amazon. You can even take a preview on the Major Spoilers website. The illustrations look like Anime characters and drawings. This is something to cheer us up after what happened earlier today with those mean comments.
