Every Christmas there's a thread about someone's kid not getting the bratz dolls they ask for because they are "inappropriate". Sure they're a little ugly and their heads are far too big for their bodies, but am I missing something?

Is Barbie inappropriate too? unsure.gif

I don't get it. DD has a couple, she has barbies too, all my older girls did too. Is it just cause they are skinny with big boobs (sending the wrong message type thing?).

I think the problem with giving Bratz dolls to your impressionable young daughter is that she ends up like this.....

Seriously I don't have a problem with them. People have been debating it for years, but I don't see them as any better or worse3 than any other doll. In fact I like their sporty image and the fact that they promote being an individual, they're multi-cultural, and they don't care how others 'expect' them to be (half of this is going on the movie)

Barbie is boring, and the 300 or so we have here all look the same!

Highly sexualised doll, that focuses on appearance above all else. Much like barbie, however most Bratz dolls I have seen put Barbie to shame. I've seen them referred to as s*ut dolls before.

I don't think Barbie is appropriate either.

LOL.

I don't understand that mindset though. Kids don't think like that. Only adults over analyse things to death.

DD has had bratz for a few years and has never expressed an interest in being a tramp. Tounge1.gif

Well, seeing as their other unofficial name is "Sl*tz"...?

I think that is why so many people have a problem with them.

I personally have not and won't buy them for my DD's but the older ones have been given them in the past. I let them have them but did not actively encourage them to add to their collection lol.
