Any doll brand that tries to appeal to the christian soccer moms that call their dolls "demonic sluts" or "child hookers" are missing the point so badly. Changing the dolls faces, clothes, or bodies won't improve their opinion on these dolls, because those were never the issues to begin with. These are just the kind of people that take issue with virtually any depiction of the female form because it makes them uncomfortable. Even the amount of skin showing isn't the problem. (I've seen westerners call licca-chan "pedo bait" before. No dolls are safe lmao)
If it was about modesty, realistic body image, positive role models, etc then they would also take issue with male action figures that are marketed to boys as well (they're built like fridges, wear skintight bodysuits, and are made to play in fight scenes). But they don't. I've never seen anyone call action figures "roided up gigolos" or "slutty barbarians." Only the toys designed to look like girls/women are called sexually derogatory names and slurs. How curious.
There IS an important conversation to be had about over sexualization of toys aimed at little girls, but this is not what this is about. These people pearl-clutching over dolls in strapless dresses, skirts, or crop tops aren't doing it because they are concerned about the mental health or innocence of young girls. Tbh I think it's more of a projection of internalized misogyny from these women, and just plain old misogyny from men.

My mum asked me what type of goth I am yesterday. Ah yes. What- what type?? No no no, I just wear what I like whenever I like, be it trad goth one day and borderline EMO the next. All that is important is that I listen to the music and in my heart call myself goth

The Tyra banks vs Naomi Campbell beef had so many layers because they’re both evil, smart and gorgeous and knew how to use everything they had at their disposal to be petty

Styles and Urban Fantasy
Imagine that certain styles of fashion would be popular with certain fantasy races. (i.e Crazy Idea that I had for fashion designs for characters..) What if like elves got into the huge boom of cyber Y2k fashion scene.
OR, vampires who really REALLY get into scene culture where they are into making sparkle dog ocs and have multi color clothes mixed with black.
Man, I just want 2000′s fashion to come back..
