Whingey responses to good intentions

[BedraggledBlitz]

Every attempt to do some amount of good seems to be ripped apart. I feel like people would be happier with nothing happening because "something" will never be enough.

For example...

Facebook post from a company launching dolls with "normal" body shape.

Reaction: Do you have dolls with hearing aids? Why are there more female dolls vs male? Etc

Iceland selling toy orangutan with proceeds going to charity

Response: are they made with wasteful materials? Why can't kids just have toys from charity shops? Why not just donate to the charity without buying a toy?

Urgh. Talk about glass half empty.

I don't want it or need it,but if I can't .have it no one else should either type people.

Sometimes it's accurate and understandable though like the dolls example. If you pitch something as normal you should try to cover the range races,body types,disabilities and all. Let's face it "perfect" dolls aren't hard to find. Try finding an affordable , varied range that a kid with a disability can relate to.

Virtue signalling! Yes that's exactly what it is.

Agree about the dolls. But the example I saw was just a small company trying to make a doll that didn't have huge tits etc and suddenly they were expected to make every variant of humankind.

How much take-up would there be of dolls with disabilities, diverse races etc? Would they be popular enough to make a profit for the shops and manufacturers? There's no point offering something for sale if no one wants it.

But how do they know no one wants it if no one is making it and marketing it?
There are a few places where you can get some but they are small,not widely advertised and quite expensive, and as such not as accessible.

Well RebelWitchFace there's a business opportunity for you! A gap in the market! If the big manufacturers don't want to risk it, maybe this is your chance to put your money where your mouth is! You could make a fortune!

But how do they know no one wants it if no one is making it and marketing it?
