Bunny Blanc’s doll is adorable. I can’t stand the hate she’s getting, it’s unfair especially because the ONLY REASON people don’t like her is that they got sooooo attached to that piece of fan art(which I do admit is fabulous) but lets be real, if it wasn’t for that fanart absolutely no one would be complaining about Bunny, I’d bet my live on it that everyone would be squeeing over how adorable she is.
She is cute, but I don’t think being attached to a piece of fanart is the only reason people are disappointed with her. The main reason many people are disappointed is that Mattel is continuing to miss opportunities to add more diversity to the line. We’re getting two unnaturally colored characters (Bunny and Faybelle) when they could have given us some PoC characters instead. That, understandably, bothers a lot of people.
she’s the fucking white rabbit, go on a rampage when you see the marsh hare or the door mouse then you can go on a rampage be more angry with the lack of Ice girl and Lack of the Sari Clad girl not because they didn’t make the fucking white rabbit non caucasian
That would be a more valid argument if they actually made her white (and I’m talking actually pure white) and not, you know, pink. Skin color != fur color. Bunny’s hair, which is white, is more than enough to indicate that she is the white rabbit. Her skin could be any color they wanted to make it and she would still obviously be the white rabbit because of her hair and clock motif. If the white rabbit can have pink skin, she could also have brown skin.
No one is going on a rampage here, just expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that Mattel is continuing to miss opportunities to make characters PoC when it would be very easy to do so. Note, I also did not say that Bunny should absolutely be a PoC, I said they should give us more PoC characters before they give us ones with unnatural skin tones. That could mean giving us Ice Girl, Blue Girl, or Aladdin/Orange Girl instead of Bunny or Faybelle.
We also now have way more characters from Alice in Wonderland than any other story. I love Alice in Wonderland, but I think they should explore more stories in the line rather than giving us a bunch of characters from the same one. That’s another reason some people are disappointed with Bunny. There are also established characters like Melody, Lily, and a bunch of the boys who are really deserving of dolls, but we’re getting a bunch of characters that haven’t even appeared in the cartoon yet instead. Another reason for disappointment.
But.. why - everybody - wanted - Bunny Blanc - to have - a brown skin ‘.’ ?!
The White Rabbit was white… well this is not racist, I love the fact that Cedar is tanned like the woods, I love the fact that Ginger is tanned like the chocolate, the fact that the daughter of the Snow Queen is tanned like the inuit people, and the fact that Rosabella Beauty is tanned like the the fur of the Beast, but Bunny BLANC ‘-’ ? Why do you want she to be tanned ?
It’s like wishing that Apple White was tanned too..
Personnally I adore the official design of Bunny Blanc, she is very cute for me ♡
