Dora the Explorer gets a makeover

They're changing her eye colour?

I hope this doesn't mean they're going to white-wash her. D:

Oh, and the rest is just as bad, if it's true.

Next you'll be able to pull a string to hear her say "Don't ask me! I'm just a girl! *giggles*" "Maths is hard."

*seethes*

There is absolutely everything wrong about this. So. Angry.

(Is that doll quote from the Simpsons?)

[red_squared]

Yep! Well, the struck out one is. The second one was actually programmed into a Barbie Doll >:[

[archon_mentha]

Oh, that's nice. Really.

What assholes.

[inksheddings]

That's just awful. My kids loved Dora! Boy or girl, they loved her equally just the way she was! Why change her? She'll LOSE her appeal the way their trying to make her now. There's enough of that sort of crap out there already. Why DORA? That's so ridiculous. Oh man. I think I might cry.

[archon_mentha]

Exactly. My daughter loved her too - and they're doing this for what? Another Bratz doll? Fuck them.

There are not enough keyboard smashes in the universe to express my rage.

[archon_mentha]

Yes, this.

They could've done anything in the world with this. Anything. And this is what they chose.

Lame. I hate all the gender-stereotyping aimed directly at kids, starting when they're babies and sorted into pink or blue clothing.

[archon_mentha]

It's absolutely ridiculous. My daughter loves all the traditionally girly things - and she loves camping, and fishing, football, swimming and math. I don't want her growing up thinking that how she looks is more important than who she is and what she does, and that's exactly what that kind of thing perpetuates. :(

Someone give me a marketer to stab. >.

[archon_mentha]

Do they have any blood left in them to make it worthwhile?
