Reply to comment by ringobob in Barbie maker celebrates ‘power of representation’ with scoliosis doll by wol_75

This is what equality looks like. People who use braces are represented in dolls now. It's a small thing that barely matters, but this is a push on the right direction.

I don't want to be treated like some kind of other group. Having a brace for scoliosis is not something that should be shunned or put on a pedestal.

I want corporations to treat me like everyone else. As a wallet for them to exploit.

The person who wrote the original comment sounds like they want pity for their condition. Pity is for losers. I don't let any of my disabilities define me and I despise people like that.

So now no one gets to complain about being exploited for money? This is a good thing?

This particular and exact situation is a good thing. If you want to twist my words and make it sound stupid, then go ahead. My point is that no grown adult should be getting their panties in a twist over a doll with a brace.
