Trolls doll recalled over controversial design

[@ladyofrillwater]

"They're not going to automatically think of a sexual act" isn't that what grooming is? Taking advantage of someone's lack of experience to twist their perceptions of a normal reaction or relationship?
Just because an untraumatized child doesn't recognize an issue doesn't mean there isn't one...

[@ANTICAPITALIST_]

What a bold comment grooming does happen because I have gotten groomed on a popular website

[@mommyoh5681]

It's not about a kid seeing the button and thinking inappropriate things it's about normalizing touching between legs and if it does happen it will make the kids think it's ok. It's a grooming toy.

[@QuranAmbience]

Your comment make more sense than this "expert" in the news
👏🌸

[@MrDoyleSmith]

Absolutely agree

[@jamiehatcher9785]

Exactly the sounds mk it seem lik she's enjoying it that can send mix messages. If someone not familiar with how the toy works see a kid stick a finger between the toys legs it can off lik there being sexually abused in acting it out on there toy! It's disturbing that a toy company couldn't see how the placement of that button combined with the sounds she makes is not appropriate is mind boggling

[@samfit808]

That “expert” is SUCH a liar to say this will not cause problems with children. It’s teaching them to LITERALLY touch those places and de-sensitize them to doing that and trying to say that’s a normal thing to do.

[@manda506]

Right! Kids mimic what they do with toys! Blame the adults around the child, how about we just don't put buttons where children know are private parts! That's disgusting on so many levels. What kind of "expert" would okay that kind of thing for children?

[@random6033]

Apparently the point of that button was that so she makes sound when seated, but idk how nobody realized. For real, who tf allowed it to be sold? They're absolute idiots.

[@kathreana1562]

​@@random6033Really?! It's for sitting? NO!

[@yeeeehaaawbuddy]

Yep, this is how stupid they think adults are. So, if I went around with a doll and spread it's legs and touched it there and made "feel good" sounds for the doll, while entertaining children, and those kids' parents found out, depending on the town, I could get in some serious trouble. So the question is: "How is Hasbro going to learn a lesson here?". This isn't a "oh well some parents feel this is inappropriate..." No, this is COMPLETELY inappropriate. It's not a feeling. Think of how many pedophiles would like to use this doll to "teach" kids ...stuff.

[@redrum4139]

Makes you wonder.. Was it released for these pedos to keep before the others were pulled off the shelves? I mean, they purposely put the button there.

What this doll does is make a child think that having their private parts pushed there is OK. If it's OK for my doll, it's must be OK for me. So let's say someone with bad intentions gets this doll for their child, and now everything about this doll says it is OK. It SHOULD be recalled, it should NEVER EVER have made it to the shelves.

My cousin had this doll and when I visited her house I was playing with her and I found the troll doll, I was like "awwwh that's a cute doll" but then when I looked under it there was a button and I'm like "what's that? A off button or something?" And then I pressed it and it made the noises like "oh" and "wee!" And *giggle* and I was thinking "uhhh....ok?...they shouldive put it on her back or something" and then I showed it to my aunt and uncle just in case, they suddenly freaked out and threw away the doll. My mom asked "WHAT HAPPENED?!" and i explained to her "THEY'RE FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THERES A BUTTON ON THE DOLLS PRIVATE THAT MAKES ENJOYING NOISES" then my mom was just silent in shock, she looked really sad and I felt bad for her. She explained to me of why it's bad and I'm glad I found out about this type of doll because my cousin is only 5 and I don't want her to learn that touching personal spaces is good. I hope they remove the dolls from the shelves in every store.

[@CuteKittenMia]

[@FloridaGirlJessica]

Dreamworks?? Really 😡 You can say whatever you want, your child’s gonna go off what they learn and experience from toys games and friends also. So putting it there between legs that makes noises is completely inappropriate

[@thebruceisloose7595]

The messed up thing is they have the nerve to call concerned mothers and parents like me conspiracy theorist for something that was put on a doll that's disgusting.. the real questions that are being ignored are who were the people or persons
that designed this button on this toy and who were the people that gave the okay for this to be put into production and be sold. I'm sorry but you can't tell me that they didn't know that they didn't know what they were doing when they placed the button there and making it do the sounds it did the process of Designing and developing toys involves. boardroom meetings full of people talking about the toy and it's functions and what not. That whole room of people had to have a combined IQ of 2 if they didn't realize what they were doing by placing that button where it was. And this so-called specialist they found to defend is just as scumbag as them.

[@Soni_Pabla]

[@bcturk9107]

This may not trigger thoughts for a child that hasn’t been abused BUT if the child is inappropriately touched there AFTER having played with the doll, they may think it is okay and “fun” based on the dolls responses. Additionally, this could lead to offenders using this doll to show a child that it is okay to be touched there. This expert must be getting commissions to speak on Dreamworks behalf. There are too many other places to put a button and no reason for those sounds.

I’m gonna paraphrase a comment I saw on another video related to this so hopefully it gets out there and that child “specialist” can understand where her many years of schooling failed her.... “I showed my boyfriend the toy and he said that a little boy (or any child) will see that and automatically think *𝚘𝚑 𝚒𝚏 𝚒 𝚝𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚎’𝚕𝚕 𝚐𝚒𝚐𝚐𝚕𝚎* and tada. You just normalized touching someone else’s private parts. Yes children are innocent, no they won’t automatically think anything sexual because they don’t think of things like that at a young age, but if you get them normalized enough, touching down there between the dolls legs is nothing more than just being tickled on the belly. And that’s a well known tool used by many sexual predators.

On the same basis as teaching a child "private parts" and "no touch"..., no toy should ever be developed making a contrary action to those lessons. Children live in the moment and someone using a toy that makes happy sounds when they are pressed there....can be a gateway to exploitation. As parents, never let down your guard. Look at all toys, games, apps, tv shows ... anything your child see's or touches should be critiqued whether it supports your values or not.

[@leeleeturn]

Naturally, I was skeptical that a toy manufacturer worth billions would risk everything in order to make a sneaky sex toy for little girls, which would sooner or later inevitably be discovered by their adults. So, I looked into this supposed conspiracy further. This is not a "button" between her legs, it is a sensor to detect when the doll is placed in a sitting position. A motion sensor, in other words. This doll is part of the so-called World Tour series based on a movie by the same name, which includes other poppies like Branch and Poppy, and Poppin Poppy. These dolls do all kinds of things so it doesn't surprise me at all that they have one that makes noises when put into a sitting position. It's the only explanation that makes any real, actual sense. Whoever designed the doll in the first place did make a mistake by putting the sensor there in a place where it's purpose could be misconstrued. Y'all need to think before you let yourself be taken in by claims like this. That's exactly how those QAnon people suckered people in in the first place is misconstruing and misrepresenting common things that have innocent explanations. Now the leaders and starters of that so-called movement are sitting pretty off the proceeds of their the their patreon and PayPal accounts. They don't even have to work anymore because their followers support them.

it makes noises when it's actually being pressed! not by just putting it in a sitting position and 2nd, why those kind of noise? gasp? i would rather choose the parents side than the company's side because they earn billions which mean that they can pay people to check their every products before putting it out there. 3rd, If you were right, Hasbro would have explained it themselves just the way you said it. so it only sound like your explanation is like "gaslighting" the public to be honest.

[@leeleeturn]

​​​@@persona5305 I don't watch the actual cartoons so I don't know what the troll children in the cartoons are doing when they sit down. Maybe this toy series has a swing that it sits on, and the troll goes wee as it swings? Or maybe it sits it on a horse and it goes wee? I don't know. I work in a large department store with a toy department, and the creativity in building these toys is amazing. But who in the world would design and build a so-called sexual grooming toy for children? Who would approve it, who would approve the millions to design it, build it and manufacturer it? Do y'all know anything about large-scale manufacturing and what all is involved? I'm only going by what makes sense here, and y'alls explanation is nonsensical.
