I'm just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.
sensible chuckle

The red circle is for people who cannot see.

Thanks for the red circle. I nearly didn't notice that comment.

Omg does Lenny have a community for unnecessary red circles?

Just searched and didn't find any. Want to create one together? Haha

Just searched and didn't find any.

If only there was a red circle to help us find it!

What actually happened is far far worse.

She was the first American Girl doll who could hear, and they’ve gone and made her deaf.

Poor thing.

Ah that's the neat part, rest of them are spy dolls made by nsa

Not the fake realdoll i got from the guy in the van in the parking lot of caltex maddington. That turned out to just be a dead chick.

can someone tell me where in the picture i’m supposed to be looking

First look at slightly above center and read 2 lines in a centered window 80% of image width. Then aim for 95% down, 95% left and read a line 85% of image width.

Always happy to help the visually impaired appear normal in public!

Could you add a flashing arrow pointing to where I should look. One for each step that is. Thanks

Also, why had that American girl been holding the doll captive?

Wow, finally, a doll for me!

That’s mean. HoH children will love the representation. They have very few relatable characters in media.

I'm waiting for the first blind one

Remember when some cheap company sold a bunch of bald, unfinished Bratz dolls and tried to claim they were going through chemotherapy?

Deestan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That sounds amazing but I can't find that by searching for it. Do you have a link?

Well it’s nice to know that their new haunted doll cannot hear us. Unless of course we sign, or otherwise use our hands in an exaggerated manner while speaking.

ivanafterall@kbin.social · 7 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I suspect the doll with hearing loss knows sign language.

SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Shit I need to go apologize to my haunted doll.

NessD@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Because you are haunted?

SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y

WAIT, I’M HAUNTED?

What was the title trying to say? I'm trying to read it from a different point but no results.

halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y

The doll has a little hearing aid.

BossDj@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y

Short answer is all American Girl dolls come with backstories and related gear. They also publish books with the dolls as the main characters

I don't really understand your question, but hopefully something here will clarify: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/31/business/2020-american-girl-of-the-year-trnd/index.html

I didn't expect a doll to be characterized as having hearing loss, so nothing was adding up.

I’m presuming American Girl is a company, and not an UnSub

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Nah, just a random young female American who likes improsoning toys 🤷

She has a brother named Sid, evidently..

The thumbnail looks like a toy Sids sister would have actually
