To your point about these ads not looking far off from your own kids’ rooms, this ad campaign got me thinking about similarities to other dolls and toys popular on the market. For example, Monster High and Shadow High dolls have some similar motifs, they are styled with punk and goth looks. I’d argue they’re a step up from previous dolls, their bodies aren’t too thin and their clothes are more stylish than sexy. While the purple Balenciaga bear is a bit more BDSM, I really don’t see the white one as too problematic— I could see it sold alongside these aforementioned dolls, and (had it not been for this debacle) not cause any controversy.
