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’m just trying to understand because I’m always being accused of saying hateful things whenever i stand up for others. I found Denny’s fb page and this is what he wrote:
“Someone shared this website and so I went there and read it. It accuses American Girl of being racist because they don’t give enough attention to the black dolls. It also accuses them of being transphobes because they sell Harry Potter stuff and the author J.K Rowling is falsely accused of being transphobe because she stood up for women! So I commented about it, shared my perspective, stood up for AG and JKR and guess what happened? They deleted ALL my comments, blocked me, and accused me of bein…
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.
