Hi, hi. Love the video of your dolls dressed for Spring. Tighten Crissa yourself. I thought it was difficult. The KZfaq videos are great. In looking at your video. I bought one of your dolls😊 Thanks! I began collecting AGD's in June 2023. Most were bought second hand. I've only sent one to the doll hospital. I love what they did. I have a 26 that nose is scuffed, not bad. Will probably send her to the hospital. 😊

I totally agree with you. Just stay in the concept and love for these dolls. Young and old are doll lovers. My Mother-in-law has a doll she got at garage sale. She dresses her all up in all kinds of outfits depending on the season. She has tubs full of clothes for her doll, she is 83. Her doll is not an AG doll. There are guys who post videos of their collections. There is no politics or gender references. My daughter and I (and I say I) love these dolls. I have sewn bedding, built a cardboard fireplace, printed photo shoots, and have a stocking with each girls name on them with a toy inside....19 of them. By the way first timer!!!!

the injection of politics into the community has always acted as a barrier to entry for me. it's just extremely divisive... very assuming as well, everyone believing they hold the 'correct' opinion and should be echoed. I feel like those who intertwine their politics with their hobby should have an understanding that pushing political agendas, no matter what the beliefs are, is *not* the intent of the broader community and keep those things to their close friends. It's kind of a case of 'knowing your audience'. Like, we're all coming together to enjoy dolls. point blank period. it feels like a bait-and-switch of sorts to insist everyone partake in political discourse/activism when that is literally not why anyone is here lol. for many, hobbies in general are a calming escape from the harsh real world. why do some people insist on bringing such grim topics into such a lighthearted outlet? it's beyond me. to each their own, but people should keep it to themselves... i could go on! also... I just joined AGIG and i don't even know what's going on but there's 'drama' about people 'copying' each other's photos? so i'd say that's a problem...people are very protective over their expression of the hobby. when some people see others doing something similarly to them, they get very defensive. i didn't expect this if i'm honest! the dolls are all mass produced and everyone is influenced by the same real-life trends. of course, people will have similar dolls, clothes, outfits, photo angles, editing styles. it's not a unique intellectual property to dress a doll a certain way or change their wig or sew trendy clothing for dolls, etc... but people wanna act like it is. whack! lol

This yes I shared the post of somone saying we all need to get along on it and I got blocked by that person and the girl that was copying for sharing my views on it nothing wrong just posting the facts , news flash copying has been around for years and years it’s nothing new , same girl that was copying was the same girl screaming about somone re posted her ig pic to Pinterest and did not tag her … people have been re posting things from ig and tumbler to Pinterest for decades. If you buy from ag your going to own the same items like sorrry not sorry you did not make this doll you bought it from ag

My take to is and people got mad for it but unless your making money off it or American girl or other brands are paying you to post a photo no one is copying you . People again have coped others for years it’s not just since 2020 and it’s all a comp to those big accounts because they think there all famous influencers unless ur making money or you photo is watermarked don’t make pointless drama and then have ur friends dm the person that your copyed it’s not going to solve a thing and just make you look like a attention seeker

@@amysmuggleworld agreed! it's such a niche space, very few people make any type of earnings from AG content. it's honestly a bit laughable to make a fuss over someone 'copying' when the stakes are getting at most a few hundred likes or some follows. and let's be real, even those who do make some money are usually making very little... not worth coming after someone imo. also, it's commonplace for something that's popular to become a replicated format. like on youtube, someone out there made the first 'reaction' video, 'glow up vlog', etc. is someone else copying for using the same format? not really. same thing is true for our small doll community, but egos can sometimes be bigger than the space itself! i don't know literally any details on the current drama or who is involved and frankly i don't want to!

Politics tend to be one of the main reasons I don't see myself ever trying to participate with the community. Another is really extreme negativity. For instance, I get that people are still upset over the Kaya face sculpt drama but I enjoy the boy dolls and I don't wanna hear about how me or my dolls are terrible because of it. And I don't wanna get an earful about J.K. Rowling every time there's a store update. I'd rather enjoy AG for what it is and have fun.

I've seen a lot of people in the community try to get pity after they've put themselves into a poor financial situation and really that's not the buyers problem.

I am not really in the community anymore because I don't really collect now but one big reason for that is I hate the community. There is many reasons but one thing I hate is fans changing their minds about something because it 'wasn't the way they want it' so then spending all their time not accepting it or hating on it. Take Gabriela for example, People begged for years and years for a doll with a disablity/ and or/ a dark skinned GOTY doll. AG listened to that and gave us Gabriela who had both, but no-one liked her as she wasn't what they had wanted so they didn't buy her and hated on her from day one. I get it, she was a redressed #46 and we all know she was changed last minute as it was supposed to be Tenney (or so I have heard) but all it did was tell American Girl people were not going to buy their dark skinned GOTY dolls with a disablity and not to listen to their fans because when they do they are just going to bash it and decide they don't like it anyway. There are still people who pretend Gabriela doesn't exist, and that is honestly sad. People apparently don't like Evette now for not been dark enough, but I guarantee if she was darker people would complain about that too.

This tho exactly they all scream ag is racist then they make dolls of color and no one but agigers buy them because kids are not interested unless it’s a character doll and there all mad the dolls not selling well or the ones that they all say the hate the most you see those dolls bought all over agig. And I think people forgot ag is for kids 8 and up not adults 21 and up we have are truly me dolls of color they have many just be happy with truly me dolls if a goty dose not sell well there not going to make more that’s how any company works

That's the thing! Gabriela wasn't unique obviously as she is a #46 but people who had #61 bought Blaire without complaint or people who had Julie bought Kira without complaint, I know in this case the dolls are not exactly the same but they are close enough in my eyes to compare to and no-one ever complained about them, but because Gabriela wasn't the doll they had thought she would be like they were like 'I don't want her'. AG have tried to be more unique but no-one likes the dolls when they do, think of Addy or Kaya, they never sell well and they couldn't be more unique. Addy is my favourite AG of all time but her hair is to much work apprently .....even though that is something people say they wanted to be more realistic @@amysmuggleworld

Something that has caused me to distance myself from the community is how difference of opinion is no longer accepted. People will put this information in their bios, stating their religion, their health diagnosis, their gender identity, their political stances, the music they listen to, etc. Like what? It implies that if you don't accept these things or share in it, you aren't accepted here. I've been in this community for ten years. Back in the 2014 era, it was just about a mutual love for liking dolls and respecting each other for having the courage to be your true self. We used to help each other deal with the judgement that comes with being an adult that likes dolls. Now, people act like the doll collecting is normal. Which is great and all, but as someone who gets judged by everyone in my life for it, it makes me feel so alone. I used to have friends in the community who shared in my struggles, but they've since left the community. Every single one of them. And while I still get joy from making content, it's missing that magic. I've since been apart of one group chat, and it was all about sharing your own posts and getting the most likes. People are missing the point of the doll community! In the ten years I've been on agig I've never surpassed 300 followers, but you won't catch me crying over it. I get wanting that creativity to be recognized, but if you're looking for fame in the doll community, you're in the wrong place. I hate that I have to avoid certain accounts based on their bios. I won't share my personal beliefs on anything, because that's an extremely dangerous thing to do thanks to toxic cancel culture. I'm just here to share my love for dolls, I don't need anyone to come for me. But I have seriously considered leaving agig at times. That usually happens when I try to start a conversation with someone and it turns bad because they want to know what my certain beliefs are and I don't care to share, so they assume the worst.

I agree with pretty much all you said in this video! It's so annoying whenever bigger creators act like you don't exist just because of your subscriber count but they respond to other bigger creators. I also agree that nothing rude or controversial should be said on these doll accounts, like were here because we want to hear about dolls, not politics, not anything else. The AG community is supposed to help you get away from the real world. That's why I don't like to post anything political or controversial on my account, it starts a ton of useless drama that doesn't help anyone. Thanks for making this video!
