Has anyone seen the videos going around with LOL dolls, I've just watched one and can't believe it.

If you put them in cold water, lingerie appears. One doll even had a devil tail tattoo on her lower back.

Why would they include this on little girl toys

So a bit more searching... Story covered by a number of outlets.

Snopes has it as "mostly true" with the "mostly" because it's only "some" dolls and apparently the kinky BDSM-ness of the outfit is in the eyes of the beholder Hmm

DD has 4, I just tested them this morning, none of them have hidden images on them. Not sure if it’s a specific style that only do it

Good question about whether the pic was faked up with magic marker.

The link to the mix.net was the first one which came up on an internet search - but I have to say it doesn't look like the most reputable source ever. A bit Sunday Sport from the looks of it. So the pic may be a fake and all the real ones do is reveal stripy socks.

On the other hand the Hasbro troll doll does appear to have been real.

Just realised my post might need explanation - the pizza slice is a reference to "Pizzagate" which is a bizarre American conspiracy theory about child trafficking. The conspiracy theorists have created an association between pizza references and child porn.

@Kantastic there's no such thing as 'child porn'. It's indecent images of children.

I suppose most good conspiracy theories mix in a grain of truth. And then there's hyperbole, trolls and bad faith political shit stirrers.

We have some colour change ones - not water ones but temperature ones and they don’t have this inappropriate lingerie on - they just get “gloves” or stripy tights.

Motherofmonsters · 14/08/2020 13:20

Goosefoot - I sometimes think there's a middle ground somewhere better unreal and conspiracy theory. I guess there's a bit of truth somewhere and then it gets exaggerated into a full conspiracy

Mydarlingsleepthief did you look at the pics? BDSM style underwear.

ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble · 14/08/2020 12:53

TBH it is an interesting discussion and it has it's merits. Mainly because even without the colour change the names and outfits of some of the dolls are quite inappropriate to begin with.

And some of the colour changes are definitely inappropriate and just no need. It's just not a conspiracy or something "hidden" if that makes sense.

Goosefoot · 14/08/2020 12:51

Yeah, the colour change is like those Barbies (or other dolls? my memory fails me) years ago where you could put them in water and their make-up would appear.

Stuff like this makes me feel a little cray though, I see all these people going on on FB about not believing conspiracy theories, and then you see all this weird shit that is real and absolutely sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Motherofmonsters · 14/08/2020 12:49

Ah sorry must be the colour change ones then

I think the confusion comes because some of the dolls are designed to colour change . It's not a secret and they are advertised as such. The fact that what they colour change to is completely inappropriate is a different issue, but this makes it sound like it's a hidden thing .

Scroll to about one minute in to see examples or watch the beginning too to understand what doll does what.

OhHolyJesus · 14/08/2020 12:36

So is this a weird paedophilia related thing of people who work at the factory to make the dolls and they only do it on certain batches, or US ones have them and Uk/EU don't or something like that? I'm so confused. Who are the manufacturers?

Motherofmonsters · 14/08/2020 12:35

I believe its real but some people.have said there's dont so it might be different batches.

The outrage is because it's 'adult sexy underwear' not children's

My stepdaughter has LOL dolls. I checked hers. They don't do this.

Is this real or is someone using magic markers?

Mydarlingsleepthief · 14/08/2020 12:28

My dd’s have been obsessed with LOLS for years and they see this as just part of the colour changing aspect of the dolls.

Do we really need to demonise everything looking for signs to be outraged by? It’s just a toy!

ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble · 14/08/2020 12:24

Is this on all the dolls or just the ones advertised as changing colour in either hot or cold water?

2beautifulbabs · 14/08/2020 12:03

Awful stuff I won't be buying any for my DS or DD they will be band.
What is so wrong why is society forcing children to grow up so quickly this has been going on for years little girls being gifted make up sets clothing getting more and more revelling for children etc the list is endless

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 14/08/2020 11:52

Advise not searching 'save our kids' hashtag. A weird and disturbing rabbit hole, looks like made up conspiracy mixed in with possible fact.

googybob · 14/08/2020 11:47

Aye, that's creepy as fuck.

Definitely the style of the underwear & the fact it's a secret. Super creepy

TheGreatWave · 14/08/2020 11:37

Oh my goodness, that is absolutely shocking. Thankfully my 8year old has never been bothered by them, I am even more thankful then I was before.

SerenityNowwwww · 14/08/2020 11:17

Oh I seee!

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 14/08/2020 11:11

I don't get the pizza thing and I'm too scared to Google...

Kantastic · 14/08/2020 11:08
Shock

I saw the reference to a "pizza symbol" and I clicked on that thinking "this must be weird conspiracy theorist hysteria"

But no. That little girl doll has a drawing of a pizza slice on her back when you dip it in water. And the others have lingerie.

What the actual fucking FUCK!?

What toy company makes these? The world is getting so surreal, I can't quite process this.
