"Homosexual lifestyle, which is a death style." Why do anti-gay people always make being gay sound hella rad?
as if it was a trend or something u decide to do smh crazy ppl
Fr when I heard that I was like "Damn. That's metal af"
LMAO
@@auggiemain Exactly. Like, that's supposed to stop people from being openly gay?
I have no idea where evangelicals got that term, honestly. I've heard "culture of death" a lot growing up
Why do I think it’s so cute that Bratz just decided two of their characters were dating after like 16 years. Me with my OCs
That's a mood
Lmao.
Me randomly: They’re agender now,they came out to me while I was drawing them.
@@ArtisanAsteroid They actually are both trans and nonbinary now. Nevra's outfit comes with a nonbinary and intersex pin and Roxxi comes with a transgender one. I think that's really cool.
Also me with my OCs: *looks at them* You two would be cute together!
Gacha kids: *sees a gay or lesbian* (gasp) you can't exist! that's impossible!
me: who said my OCs couldn't exist?
the fact that there's a doll line called "Rainbow High" and yet (so far) there isn't a canonically lgbtq character is kinda funny, but also really sad
#letBellaandJadekiss2k22
aiden’s def gay but he doesn’t have a doll
I really was hoping they'd be a lot more blatant about having a queer main character or relationship, but I think MGA is just trying to play it as safe as possible which is super lame
and the fact that MGA, the ones to step Roxxi and Nevra out of the closet, still chicken out on doing so with their other brand called RAINBOW High 🤦
@@manifestations7758 I never said that it did, and I don't think anyone sensible believes that, but I'm sorry you misunderstood. I only brought this up because there is no denying that rainbows are a major symbol of the LGBTQ+, so I just thought that a doll line with a rainbow motif would be a great opportunity to introduce more queer fashion dolls. Again, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and I hope this clears things up! :D
i like to think that we got confirmation about neighthan rot being gay in the MH "gaga for ghouls" music video! though he's not even part of the main boo crew, draculaura helped him up from a dark corner and suddenly he turned even more rainbow and glittery when he stood up. like come on, he's already a rainbow unicorn and had a transformation in a video referencing lady gaga! that was definitely a gay moment 🏳🌈
Yup
I'm not part of the LGBTQ community and I hope what I'm about to say isn't considered offensive because I don't mean it that way. But when I read your comment I wasn't happy. Not because you want him to be gay but because you have to take something not explicitly stated as confirmation of him being gay. When I read your comment I thought about how I would feel if I had to look for confirmation that a doll was considered a woman or considered black and that thought hurt. You shouldn't have to search for confirmation, it should just be confirmed. I hate the argument that dolls are for kids and that's why we don't have gay or lesbuan dolls because that makes no sense to me. Kids understand better than adults that everyone deserves respect and representation.
@@mtblaho you didn't offend me and but I kinda see what your saying
@@sweetnsournugget2609 thank you for your response. I'm glad I didn't offend you and that you understand what I was trying to say. I just don't understand why it's so hard for doll companies to just make a doll that is explicitly stated to belong to the LGBTQ community. I didn't like how JK Rowling waited until after the books were written to say that Dumbledore was gay. Why couldn't she just write that explicitly in the text so that no one had to wonder? Anyway thank you for understanding.
Garrett did say he was meant to be LGBT
I wonder if something could be said for the barbie movies with serious sapphic energies. I'd consider Diamond Castle, Starlight Adventure, and Big City Big Dreams to be the gayest barbie movies. Big City Big Dreams especially had some intentional or not implications with the dual barbies but also some serious coding with the character of Rafa, who is basically a gay stereotype who says 'fabulous' and legit says that the only label he cares about is designer. i also love Rafa
I have no idea who Rafa is, but that label line you mentioned made me weirdly emotional
Definitely agree with Diamond Castle and Big City, Big Dreams! Kinda surprised about Starlight Adventure though, I almost never see people ship the girls together in that one, usually I see people refer to Mariposa and the Fairy Princess instead
Not mentioning the Princess and the Pauper, with the double wedding (with boys standing heavily to the side, oops-) and the eternal legend that is Preminger is criminal.
... You're forgiven, through. Diamond Castle is absolutely the one at the top.
I think you'd like AreTheyGay's video on Barbie! The movies are talked about a lot
When I was a child I used to think that Liana and Alexa were like my moms (who are lesbians by the way) 🤭
I actually cried when I saw the new Bratz dolls because I never thought I’d see such of an unabashedly accepting interpretation of LGBT in a line I collect. In the past twenty years, so much has changed, and it’s made me so happy to see the progress. We’re not there yet, but these little steps, milestones, mean the world to me.
I am so happy with all these changes 💕 God bless 💓
why you crying
@@pritea4869 Why is your pfp so ugly? 😍
@@pastelprincce idk sweetie
Any child familiar with Snow White story would catch on pretty quickly what happened with Apple and Darling, Ever After High was very... bad at diversity, but I still love that writers made Apple and Darling literally canon
@~Darling Edits~#Roadto100 It was literally true love's kiss between Snow White's daughter and Prince Charming's daughter. It fulfills the story Apple so desperately wants.
See I was an Apple/Raven shipper and I never felt like Apple and Darling had a substantial relationship so I read the kiss platonic/related to the destiny magic rather than hinting at feeling between them
in regards to clawdeens male love interest (raythe), i think its important to note that after the welcome to monster high film, he basically isnt mentioned again. so i simply pretend that clawdeen did not have a boyfriend
he actually does appear in the Ghoul Squad series! But yeah there is 0 romance even hinted at in that series for any of the girls
We can all just pretend the 2016 reboot never happened, that's better for everyone lmao
@@TBCaine oh yeah he does, i lowkey forgot lmao
I like to think that her relationship with him was before she realized she was attracted to woman, and that’s why he doesn’t appear much in the later Monster High reboot series
He was just her cover up I bet
Being old now, there were no LGBTQ+ representatives in my doll world... Didn't stop me making Ariel and Esmerelda smooch, though.
I love the idea of Clawdeen being a lesbian, but I always personally thought she might be asexual.
I really related to her as a kid since she was one of the first fashion dolls I had seen at the time not being depicted as "boy crazy." I later realized I was ace and after that slowly started headcanoning her to be ace as well.
She could still be asexual and lesbian !
@@Trevorblckwll True! I like that idea!
hell yeah i love when aces and lesbians can relate over the same things :)
I mean i'm axesual and lesbian so I kinda love the idea of her being both :D
Agreed. She might even be biromantic too. She said in her profile her favorite activity was flirting with boys. And she liked Thad and Raythe, two boys. She was very much bi-erased by the fandom.
I want to comment about the LOL Cool Lev doll. He actually is a trans male doll. This is shown by the tran flag colors, the fact his pronouns are on the jacket & a more clear tell is the fact that when stripped he is in underwear instead of being 'anatomically' correct like the other bois. My spouse actually found an article about this, sadly they don't remember where they saw it now. My spouse wanted me to tell you thank you. They had wanted a Creatable World doll, but kept forgetting to buy one. Seeing this video made them check into them & get it finally.
I hope they have like more noticeable pride lol's and omg's but I didn't notice that good find
Rocker Boi is also wearing underwear.
UPS has a trademark on that specific color brown for postal service uniforms. It's really interesting actually, it's similar to Tiffany's Blue trademark.
Barbie pink too
@@phoenixfritzinger9185 yes! Rainbow High should give us a UPS brown doll 🤣
The idea of having a trademark on a color is so wild to me lol
@@TheSlipperyNUwUdle Yeah sounds like a stupid marketing ploy.
@@ExtremeWreck Basically, it's so that other companies can't try to trick consumers into thinking they're using a product from the company associated with that colour.
“You gave me something nobody else ever did, sincere *friendship*”
The overuse of the word ‘friend’ seems a little suspicious ☠️
“they seem to be very good friends”
I feel like Kiyomi Haunterly is the most blatantly gay MH character it’s really hard to see her interest in Draculaura as anything other than a crush
The neutral doll are perfect, I used to play with cosmetics because my parents hadn't money to buy me and I just imagined what and how they would look like. Using 3 dolls you could have 9 characters easily
I agree 100%! I wish I had them growing up because creating storylines and characters were my absolute favorite things to do and those dolls would have made it so easy to come up with characters
There is adult art doll, Rebel 001 by Tom of Finland. I think it is important to mention as Tom of Finland has had a massive cultural influence in the gay scene in Finland and US. In current day, there is a lot of Tom of Finland merch in Finland just casually being carried like tote bags or ginger vodka labels. It is one of Finland's most important LGBT influences, along with Moomin.
Yep! ToF is very much a strong, widely seen and known icon
monster highs new generation is already so progressive! they made frankie non binary, and its assummed that them and cleo get together!!
The main girls from Barbie in the Diamond castle definitely count. They had male love interests in that movie and neither of the girls showed any amount of interest in them the whole movie. Also it opens with them literally living in an idealic cottage core house together
The UPS uniform thing being commonly used in “adult” scenarios doesn’t surprise me at all. Lol even now I see a lot of parodies that involve mailmen
Lol
I immediately thought of the "I've got a package" bit from Legally Blonde, LOL
I'm gay, I love fashion dolls, and I think I deserve them or at least the ability to have some cute boy dolls to represent myself. Come on, companies, gimme boy dolls I can glam up in rainbows!!!
idk if this is helpful but you can customise dolls or sew clothes for them if you want :) it does take practice and stuff but its possible, you can look at videos by dollightful, moonlight jewel, and more for ideas :) (also dollightful's dolls are generally very colourful
I agree that doll companies need more boy dolls
i wish there were fabulous male dolls, with long hair and pretty faces and shit, like come onnnn
Oh yes,i miss that
@@earthwormlen36and gays!
forgot to mention all the barbies I was making kiss each other long before I knew I was attracted to women
My current favorite LGBT doll is the barbie mermaid boy that I stole from Walmart and painted top surgery scars on. But I think I need to expand my collection... through legal means, of course.
LMAOOOOOO what a slay to be honest
I love that.
Lmao what
YES KIMBER AND STORMER!!!! I grew up watching this show when I heard you bring up Jem. I legit said, "Oh yeah, Kimber and Stormer were gay weren't they?". AT AGE MAYBE 7 I WAS LIKE "Awww, they seem cute!".
Ikr
14:20 the “sure I can” was easily the best part about this video
Happy Pride month everyone, proud to be LGBTQ 🏳️⚧️🏳🌈🌈💕
how are sailor moon/magical girls fans not gay /j
@@catenigma6352 💀
@@Captainamericaswifereal help what does this mean
@@catenigma6352 skull? Oh It just means laughing lol. If that's what your taking about. Same as 😭 in some contexts also means laughing
Omg thanks sailor moon
The gender neutral one being canceled made me really sad... made me happy to see a doll like me who flip flops styles and wears wigs for a femme looks and yeah :( Wish another one will be made someday without the political air around it
now we know cleo and frankie are into eachother, and frankie is nonbinary. big win! wish we could have lesbian clawdeen official now
Apparently the show bible was leaked a week ago and clawdeen was described as gay !! cleo was also called specifically pan, so i think that gay for clawdeen here specifically means homosexual- lesbian!
So is it just me or does the Billy doll look weird? Like his head is just a little too small for his head or his neck is super thick. I can't put my finger on it, but something about him just looks off.
To answer your question, my favorite LGBT doll is Kala, whom I own. I like to pair her with my Dayna Treasura Jones (from the Shriekwrecked line) doll.
Billy also has a GIANT dong.
I appreciate this so much, I wasn't raised with much exposure to much as a kid, just due to the lack of resources where I grew up, so getting to learn about all these different doll lines makes me love them even more! I love that Mattel had a doll line that was pretty much gender fluid. It bothers me that people say it's pushing "sexuality" on kids, because Ken has been around for how long? That's pushing heterosexuality on kids.
I think the Darling and Apple kiss scene wasn't actually romantic itself. Darling was just trying to save Apple via mouth to mouth. However I think it WAS the true love for their stories.
yes! Just like in other versions of the fairytale, a true loves kisses magic might've not been the solution to get snow white to wake up. Only the love interest were able to get make them wake up, no matter how.
I'm glad to find someone with the same train of thought
The way that whole kiss was handled was really odd. Darling and Apple were barely friends and Apple woke up thinking Daring kissed her. Clearly the two weren't in love (at least... not yet). The universe just decided this was their destinies. Its long since been established the EAH characters get stuck in arranged marriages with people they don't feel romantic love for. So this relationship feels a lot like "I'm kissing her because its my job."
All well at least they actually kissed. Unlike Korrasami.
Shadi Petosky (one of the writers for dragon games) actually confirmed when asked that she intended Apple and Darling to be true loves, saying that every kid’s show she’s written is super gay lmao
But I agree with you that Darling didn’t actually intend to KISS kiss Apple in the moment. It just doesn’t change the fact that they’re meant to eventually become true loves!
I really wanted Apple and Raven to end up together in EAH. It was my OTP. Darling hadn’t had any really close scenes with Apple where as Apple and Raven hold hands and talk about how important they are to each other and mention loving each other.
Darling and Apple were "robbed". When everyone thought they would get some couple development, EAH was cancelled. Still, i think Raven could be bi. She likes Dexter but i think she might also be into girls.
@@StarSparkleofficial I really would of loved if Darling and Apple got together honestly.
@@StarSparkleofficial to this day i dont know why eah was canceled
Cuz Disney sued them for copying descendants even though that movie was made after that. When in reality the problem was the other way round
It's easy to see Apple having a one sidded love for Raven but Raven herself seem see Apple as a friend at best.
The owl house was everything to me I still hate Disney for canceling and shortening this wonderful show
This is just my opinion but in the Rainbow High world I like to believe that Kia Hart is part of the LGBTQ+ community mainly because her rainbow heels. Not confirmed that she is part of the LGBTQ+ community but I would like to think it’s a small hint that she is part of it or supports it, especially she’s all about love and bringing people together.
We need support our children and stop making them feel dirty or out of place
5:20 why is billy’s neck so T H I C K😭
6:03 “Apparently UPS uniforms were like, highly fetishized around this time,”
What
Yeah the clips from Jem are giving me Sappho and her Friend vibes lol
on Monster High: I've also seen a very prevalent headcanon that Deuce Gorgon is trans! this stems from the fact that gorgons as a species have male counterparts, but the male counterparts do NOT have snakes for hair. Deuce does have snakes for hair, leading many fans to believe he was AFAB
also on the topic of mh g3 Frankie is nonbinary but I don't think that was known by the time this video was released lol
wait I actually love this
Bring back gay Bob. Whole line. Totally rufus
They don't have dolls, and depending on how much they end up featured in the show, maybe never will, but the most recent Barbie show (It Takes Two) introduced some kids with two dads!
Darling and Apple Charming-White would've slapped
Ahhh I want the brats two pack!! They are so cute and compliment each other perfectly. There are also a bunch of tiny little pride details like Roxy’s lesbian socks!!
Another great video. Creatable World was totally groundbreaking and likely will be realized and highly sought after dolls sometime in the future. Happy Pride. 🌈❤️
its funny and sad how these companies will hide behind excuses like "it's not the right time" or "these characters are already established" when bratz proved they can do literally whatever they want. Hopefully other companies see that and understand that the comfort of bigots is less important than the hopeful feeling a child gets seeing a doll that represents them.
Another great video essay, you're getting really good at these!
Great video. You mention only going over characters that are made as fashion dolls rather than preexisting characters cuz that would be so many.
But I'd like to mention the fashion dolls made for magical girl shows, specifically precure! So many of them are canonically gay and have such lovely dolls.
Macaron and Chocolat are the pinnacle of the gay rights movement!
Just found your channel and binge watching! They are cheering me up so much thank you
another great video as always! love playing these during my breaks this finals week 💗 i think some of the barbie fashionistas can also read lgbt, especially with the introduction of the modified 'original' sculpt with a smaller bust and thicker ribcage. i read someone on the barbie subreddit identify with that body as a transperson and i think it's wonderful 💖
When I was a kid I loved monster high dolls but I didn’t keep up with the actual stories or canon. My kid self decided that Rochelle and Abby were a couple so to this day I still think of the dolls as being gay even if it doesn’t necessarily make any sense for the actual characters.
I love ur videos so much! So glad u uploaded🥰
when i first came into my queer identity i was obsessed with darling and apple. it meant so much to me to see a wlw couple in a franchise i was familiar with as a kid.
I got into your content this year and its clear how much care and time you put into each video. 💙
So excited! Love watching these deep dive videos while I cook!
Great overview! A couple of these were new to me! Happy Pride!
You forgot BMR1959 Ken with the green hair, makeup, and nail polish. Very gay.
the pride bratz dolls look so good!!
Ikr!!
I loved the Mattel Creatable World dolls the moment I saw them advertised online and I started collecting them once they hit brick-and-mortar retail [ i.e.: Target ] which was shortly before Covid swept the country and the planet and the world effectively went into lock down. Once restrictions began to lift a few months later I went back to buy more of the dolls and their accessories only to find they had lapsed into clearance status which was bittersweet as they were gong away and yet were deeply discounted as well. I do wonder if they ever caught on with actual children as was Mattel's intended goal or if simply they were loved and collected by adult collectors such as ourselves.
as always your video is perfect!! i would love to know your thoughts on roxxi & nevra’s outfits and accessories. i love that they have so many bits and pieces, it gives me myscene accessory vibes!
Happy Pride Month!
I'd like to add another two gay characters from Integrity Toys. In 2018 they released Laird Drake, a guy from 1950s (as wel as the rest of the characters in East 59th series). There was a line in his story that explicitly said he's into men. Unfortunately it was the only release of that character BUT in 2021 Integrity Toys released Augustus "Gus" Blake, the second male doll in this line. Now allow me to cite the official description from the website: "Swayed by his perfectly polished demeanor, Laird fell hard for Gus and things grew quickly. Not only did the pair become fast friends and passionate lovers, but they would also eventually co-found the East 59th Agency, and the rest, as they say, is history!" Since Gus has been released twice already I hope there will be some kind of couple set in the future!
And I think it's also worth mentioning that Mattel has released some dolls that (despite not being referred to as LGBT) shift binary gender presentation. BMR1959 Ken doll with neon green hair and makeup it the first who comes into mind (I know that any person can wear makeup and nails but it's first male doll with these in Mattel lineup). There's also a Barbie Fashionista 128 who has pretty much gender neutral look and also new body type. It's not explicitly said what identity this doll may represent but it's defitinitely open to interpretations!
(Sorry for mistakes, English is not my first language)
You did good. happy pride month to you too!
fashionista 168 also has a different body type that makes me think they might be trans 😋
I LOVE the green haired doll! I've been working on a drag outfit for him, and I headcannon him as the brother of one of my lesbian Barbies.
I adore your content, please never stop :)
I’m a little hit or miss on the whole “story” aspect of dolls. There’s certainly nothing wrong with having diverse characters in every shape and form, especially in children’s media, since exposing kids to that kind of stuff only makes for better, more caring people, that’s just not the way I played as a kid.
I wasn’t into Barbies, I was more a dollhouse kinda girl, but our dolls often had names and identities too, if not as fleshed out. All sorts of toys came with names and histories, including my toy horses. Grand Champions for the win!
But I could not have cared less about any of that. I threw all of that out the window to create my own characters and stories, which is the essence of imaginative play, at least in my mind.
100%
I was a bit of both. Sometimes I liked a doll or toy BECAUSE of the story. Otherwise...they became whatever I wanted them to be.
isn't monster high coming back with adult collector dolls too? they need to make a pride clawdeen doll and give her a girlfriend like bratz 😭
You put a lot of research and knowledge into your videos, and I enjoy them, thank you!! :-D
this video is amazing. i didn't know about so many of these dolls. i'm not a doll person and never was, but i love this. thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I was a huge fan of Jem back in the day and was over the moin excited when those comics came out. I also love Monster High and Ever After High, I really wished they had both last longer. Never got to collect all the dolls I wanted from those lines either.
Wanted to shout out one doll I am aware of (because I love her), which is Pullip Assa from 2005. She comes in a mechanics jumpsuit decorated in little 'patches' and pins and a very rainbow sweatband headband with a pin that explicitly says 'Queer' (she also comes with a metal toolset which is very cute.). Now, it's hard to say if the company explicitly intended for Assa to be a gay doll as the company that made her, Jun Planning, was Japanese, and it the patches came across as random 'American' things (her other pin is a star with the American Flag in it), or representative of American youth culture in a way they saw it - her 'theme' in the marketing is about music. But a rainbow headband that has a button which says 'queer' tells me, she was probably meant to be a lesbian doll. I have the stock outfit on a different Pullip so my personal headcannon for her is that she is and has a crush on one of the other Pullips I have.
idk why but seeing the jem section made me tear up. the girls stay winning
i was sitting here wondering when g3 monster highs frankie would be mentioned before remembering when this was posted lol
bratz making nevra specifically bi makes me so happy :,)
This was such a good video, loved it a lot!!
I've never heard of the Jem comic before but I am definitely checking it out! Wow!
Thanks for yet another great video!
Fantastic vid! Happy June to u ! 💖
MGA still leaving these tiny crumbs of Jella for us to pick up. It would be nice if they gave us more 🥲
I'm definitely grabbing that Bratz set, hoping "the right time" is now for MH too. 🏳🌈🏳⚧🌈
🖤
Just love your videos and narration style so much. It’s very cathartic and I completely enjoy your research And perspective. I’m an ally always! Happy Pride Month Darling!🥰🫶🏽
Rainbow high had made a post I think last pride where they had all the main dolls with pride flags and the one I remember specifically off the top of my head was sky who had a trans flag (of course that's who I remember because I'm trans, a trans men tho) but anyway, I was surprised this wasn't mentioned in the video? Am I tripping XD I'll go back through their insta at some point but I remember this very well because I spread it around to all my LGBTQIA+ friends and freaked out about it.
Anyhow I'm new to this channel but I absolutely love it! Getting back into doll collecting and I adore hearing all the history with dolls and things I haven't heard or known. 💕
ok but my favorite it Darling Charming and Apple White. Justice for ever after high
We were robbed of their couple potential 😭
I wanted to see Apple come to terms with her story not being 'perfect', and growing open to the idea that her 'prince' Charming didn't have to be a boy. Darling, I'm pretty sure everyone thought was queer starting when she saved Ginger. I need to rewatch the series - I adored it so much!
I second that. Bring back EAH, Mattel!
Love this video, what are your pronouns? I was talking about your videos with some friends and I was using they/them for you. I just wanted to double check.
Any pronouns!
Fun fact about LOL's newest holiday doll for 2021 bares a striking resemblance to an outfit and hairstyle Trixie Mattel wore in UNHHHH. It was the "Make Loneliness Work For You." great vid as always
Ohh no!!!! I am down a rabbit hole of dolls! You are the one I will binge MWahahaha! ( Thank you so much for the videos!)
Integrity also released several RuPaul dolls. I was so happy to see that Fisher Price has a RuPaul set recently. Great video.
Build-A-Bear also got a RuPaul's set recently as well!
6:45 the red hat on the one just makes his head look really flat which is kinda funny
There is also Laird Drake from
IT’s east 59th collection I remember reading in his description he “prefers the company of older men” or something
Liek that.
Love the video!! I feel like the Tom of Finland doll would’ve fit in the category of the Billy doll, since they came out around the same time. I really appreciate the timeline of lgbtq+ dolls, it really helps shows that they deserve to exist in the world, and that the creators themselves have the right to create something that relates to them as well!
13:06 As someone who is Aromantic, I find it annoying that often times if a character isn't depicted in a relationship that they are just assumed gay.
I loved Creatable World and have several of them. It’s awesome having so many clothes and accessories that can be customized to any type of character. I wish Mattel would include more fashion choices in Barbie and Monster High.
Cant believe you’d show me creatable world dolls only to rip them from me like this WHYYY
I Never knew id be on the verge of tears from a fucking LOL doll. Jesus. Didn’t know I’d get so emotional over something so simple.
Such a great video!!
idk if this counts bc it might have been confirmed a little bit after the equestria girls doll line died, but one of the short writers confirmed that sunset shimmer is bisexual!!
(and so is king sombra from fim but my king has no merch 😔)
Also don't forget She-Ra was created as an action + fashion doll in 1984, and thanks to the reboot by DreamWorks and Netflix, she is now considered to be canonically lesbian, similar to the retroactive canonization for Kimber and Stormer. That reboot was outstanding in that many of the characters were reimagined as queer, even some of those in a straight relationship.
Uh... about that... The idea of She-Ra (and some of the other characters, such as Catra, Spinerella, and Netossa) being a lesbian is actually part of the DreamWorks series canon, not the original series canon according to series creator, Noelle Stevenson. If there is something I'm missing, let me know.
American girl just rereleased Molly right in time for pride month. Coincidence?!?!
Growing up all my Barbies were gay, I remember being annoyed when my mum got me a ken!
I would like to add another character to the Integrity list! Although it was never confirmed by IT the Fashion Royalty character Luchia Z. was constantly very vague in her storycards, but many collectors considered her being a trans woman, even if IT never confirmed nor denied it she went through a headsculpt change that added more androgynous and even masculine lines to her face, many fans considered that as being IT embracing the theories. I love both Luchia’s headscupts and consider her the first but unofficial IT trans character. Btw I found your channel a couple months ago and I basically ate up every video ever since, I love the way you research and the themes you choose, and your voice is very relaxing as well ☺️ congratulations!
Jem and the holograms was awesome
The way i looked at the thumbnail and said to myself "Lesbian, Gay, Bratz and trans"
unrelated to the vid but your mascot is so so cute
Great video! An honorable mention would be Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken from 2010.
I'm a grown woman who loves dolls
And this is a neat topic please keep making these videos
not confirmed either but the Sanrio x Mattel collab featured My Melody and Kuromi dolls
