monkeypizzasonic Posted July 25, 2021 ...I thought everyone here was gonna be talking about the weird offputting Kabuki post*, not communist spies. * idk how he came up with "women walking around = watching netflix show with racy scenes** at dinnertime" ** also why would you put on a netflix show without looking at the rating/warnings first to see if there was any content you wouldn't want to be watching over dinner? But yeah, this is just getting stupid now. He could afford to do so much more cool stuff if he just let someone with thicker skin and without weird prejudices against other companies be in charge of day-to-day business stuff and stuck to designing/blogging/cultural outreach/making brand deals/whatever he does.

I went directly to that Twitter post. A person (presumably working at Mirai Inc.) told a commenter that as long as you don't join a "trash-talking forum" or scalp dolls (or sell to someone who does or is already banned...), you don't risk getting banned. That same person also said that dealers authorized to sell Smart Dolls must follow the ban list, which means Fabric, Friends, and Dolls is going along with this. Oh, and the way to find out if you're banned is to try and place a SmD order. If you get radio silence - congratulations! You've been banned! Police yourself, police your dealers, and now, police the people you plan to resell your doll to. Police other people planning to resell their SmDs. Watch what you say ANYWHERE online, because there's a doll company owner out there with narcissistic tendencies who's policing the f#$&ing internet, and he's watching you. And SmD dealers. And anyone you resell your doll to. ... This is some cult-adjacent behavior, and I'm DONE. This ban-by-proxy garbage is telling SmD fans to police who can or can't buy their dolls, as well as policing other SmD owners' listings of SmDs for sale. This is creating a tighter and tighter ring of SmD customers, and all others must be excluded, or you risk getting voted off of Mirai Inc. Island (tm). How on earth is anyone supposed to keep track of who is banned from the shop!?! I mean us random internet users. If the ban list isn't public then how can someone be blamed for unknowingly selling to someone on that list! Unless they want to stop all sales of anything Smart Doll. So no selling those pebbles you have duplicates of, or customised chaos heads, or spare parts/eyes to people who might use them. Which kinda defeats the point of those items in the first place. But hey, we're supposed to be cutting down on plastic waste... what better way than to let it sit unused and unloved in storage in a cardboard box! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care what your political views are or how you think anyone's actions in the hobby might support one thing or another in dealing with them.

monkeypizzasonic Posted July 25, 2021 (I think the political thing was more of a metaphor than an actual comment on anyone's views, but I'm not gonna argue over deleting it. There are other, less inflammatory things we can use as comparisons.) MOVING ON; can this be considered illegal/something he can get sued for in any way? Really surprised some disgruntled parents out there haven't gone all sue-happy because their kid's doll broke and DC had a fit when they tried to get it replaced or whatever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbotss Posted July 25, 2021 21 hours ago, davidd said: How do they define a "trash talking forum?" I would not consider DollDreaming, or even this topic within DollDreaming, to be a "trash-talking forum." It's a discussion topic on a discussion forum. Discussion, traditionally, means comparing experiences and talking over positives and negatives of a product. People who love Barbie still point out the flaws in various releases, or discuss what could be done better. Same with every doll on the planet! And again... how would they know? Does Smart Doll Store have spies everywhere? On eBay? On the forums? On FB and Twitter? Are they trying to sew discord and distrust among us? Which of us is the spy here at DollDreaming, collecting email addresses from our member bios and sending that info to Smart Doll? I suppose, if the information is publicly available, that would not technically be illegal. But it would be... nasty, mean, and petty! Most of the "trash talk" happens on Facebook. By all rights, then, Smart Doll Store should ban everybody who has ever used Facebook! Right? Or Twitter? Or Instagram? Or gmail? Seems like they'd be busy enough running the company and selling stuff and making dolls. How do they have time to police the entire World Wide Web? Trash talking in smartdollland refers to any discussion not worshipping/praising smartdoll products or shoe baby. Contrary to what you think, Facebook is the place where the least amount of criticism (I refuse to call it trash talk) happens, because most of the smartdoll groups are rigorously policed, and any posts that are not positive are immediately deleted by admins and the posters banned from smartdollland. In addition, it is easy for shoe baby to access personal info via facebook, so customers would tend to be more wary of what they post. As for how they know... the hardcore shoe baby worshippers are offered goodies to snitch on those who dare blaspheme. That's how some people get stuff that aren't released yet or at all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand Facebook group moderators wanting to keep their groups squeaky clean, considering what happened with one of them. (It was before my time, but I'm sure someone remembers better than me. Something about an offensive banner image, and then everyone getting booted and Danny having a huff - oh wait, it's probably why this thread is here haha.
