random but one thing we love about american girl dolls is that they aren't super skinny. like how most other dolls like barbie dolls have an impossible body type but ag dolls just sort of feel Normal
#hard to explain? like idk dolls for children having super 'idealized' bodies doesnt feel great#because the point of the dolls is thats what a child will sort of aspire to be or want to be#like the whole point of the main barbie line is like. a figure for girls to look up to#so that figure being incredibly skinny and having a perfect face and all that feels. bad#but ag dolls feel much more like a companion#like as a kid we did look up to those girls! even when we were slightly older than them!#but they were ultimately attainable and felt more like a really cool friend#idk just been thinking about how ag had a very positive impact on us and barbie was always very#superficial i guess#and its sort of sad looking at ag now and seeing how... commercialized it feels? like it feels like theyre barbie-fying it idk#(obvs ag isnt a perfect company and is still a business but its def our favorite doll brand)#confluence.txt
