When I Was Little I Didnt Want To Play With Makeup And Nail Polish. People Brushed It Off Because I Was

When I was little I didn’t want to play with makeup and nail polish. People brushed it off because I was a bit of a tomboyish child and “it’s just a phase”.

Turns out it was actually due to autism and sensory issues.

Why is there no Veronica van Vamp skullector doll?

I feel like we are missing an opportunity here.

Last year one of these guys was bothering my friend, who is black, queer and has ADHD. I swear to god we spent the entire year asking for our coordinator to do something about it and all we got were excuses.

She would say is that he is autistic, lonely and needs friends to guide him. I was there with my undiagnosed autistic ass wanting to punch her.

My friend had evidence of the guy being racist and homophobic towards him, plus at least 10 girls had witnessed him being creepy towards them.

Yet my friend only managed to get a good response after talking to one of the few black coordinators. The guy didn’t even get that much of a punishment, they only moved him to another classroom.

Like I dont get how white autistic people get so many passes to be racist jackasses because ~*they just dont understand*~ and we have to hold their hands through understanding why saying slurs or dressing up as a nazi (ive seen this one first hand) is wrong but the minute a brown autistic person says "hey dont be racist" were accused of being ableist and get met with harassment like where is the patience for brown people on the spectrum answer quickly 🎤⏰

STOLITZ ANTIS TRY TO NOT POST ON THE MAIN TAGS CHALLENGE

Explaining the issue people have with Venus hair:

I would like to note that:

I’m half black (racially ambiguous) and have a loose Afro (something between 3c and 4a). The lack of Afro hair representation is an issue that affects me directly, but not as much as darker skin folks.

I’m not a G3 hater, this post is made due to disappointment. I like G3, but it’s not perfect and some aspects could really be improved.

Starting with a hot take, Venus having straight hair, in a vacuum, isn’t an issue. The real issue lies in the context, of all the female dolls in G3 she was the only one allowed to have textured hair.

The protagonist of this generation is black and has Afro hair in the show, but she is barely allowed to have it in her dolls.

Catty Noir who is black coded also wasn’t allowed to have textured hair in her debut, only a few braids.

G3 clearly has racist/texturists tendencies when it comes to their black characters, which is such a bummer for a generation that prides itself on inclusivity. Black folks deserve proper hair representation. Our hair has been called ugly, unsanitary, (bombril if you are brazillian), for ages and the lack of representation contributes to that idea.

I was born in the 2000s, fairly recently, yet I still had almost no dolls with hair like mine growing up. The only doll I ever owned with hair like mine was a Howleen Wolf doll. And it’s not like G1 had a lot of dolls with Afro hair either, she was one of the few exceptions.

When G3 came out I was hopeful we would get more amazing dolls with different hair textures. It breaks my heart seeing them miss the mark so badly.

Straight haired Venus isn’t the issue, it’s a symptom.
