I'm surprised at the negativity ITT. I think my daughter would enjoy this since she likes AG doll stuff and sees me play games. Why not?

Jesus Christ lmfaoThis was the strip after Loss, and he's shown here somberly putting away a baby-sized controller
The American Girl has a tiny controller too
Grown ass men complaining about or not understanding kids or stuff for kids is like the ERA mantra
In what way is this bad? It's just promoting to other girls that it's okay to play games and it's not just a boy thing. Inclusion is good.
I don't quite understand how this is an interesting basis for playing with the doll. "X plays videogames" does not make for an interesting narrative and I am sure it will not inspire the imagination of a child for a long time. This, to me, appears to be more like something for adults to feel good about giving as a present than something optimised to bring the most enjoyment to a child.
I wonder if it's just me, but it looks creepy.
I am no doll aficionado, but it doesn't look right.

As if people don't know this is not targeted to them, it's just a weird thing.
Please. Barbie be making that Twitch money by showing off her cleavage while streaming
I strongly approve of her choosing the superior Xbox One color scheme. That white controller looks so classy.
I knew it. Kind of awkward posting a boy doll in that specific tweet.I mean, girls can have short hair, but that is totally intended to be a boy doll. Kinda pisses me off tbh.
looks like this doll (a boy model) in a different outfit
I uh... what? Is she a controller? Does she cuss out adults on Call of Duty and Halo?
Seems that he has used the photo of the boy version but is referring to it as the girl version.

I just realised he's used the wrong photo - that IS the boy version with the boy doll! He's just referring to it as the girl version by mistake. The girl version is very obviously a girl.
Ah! Ok then. This make sense.
Also I just saw the other foto and it is ok.
" BATTLEFIELD 5 IS NOT ACCURATE!"
- american girl xbox doll proceeds to run them over with a tank
Because overwatch/fortnite etc have taught me that the moment I hear a little kid (male or female) on a headset either screeching or various slurs are coming within 30 seconds.
So while most people don't have an actual issue with this existing, it's more than fair to only think negatively due to the above.
i don't think ERA is the interested demographic for this
but if it pisses off the weird doll collectors it's all gravy

If you went by the reactions on Era, you would think that Bloodbourne is the most popular game of all time, Minecraft is some weird indie thing that a couple of people play, nobody cares about Pokemon or Brawl, and Roblox and World of Tanks don't even exist.
It's stunning how incompetent Era, like GAF before it, is at reading the market.
