Fully Articulated Wank
This almost made it to [info]i_wank, but I decided I've done enough prior self-inflicted damage to the board in question on previous occasions. Anyway~

There is this hobby that has been creeping up on people over the last few years. Maybe you've heard of these Asian dolls that people call "Dollfies" - Dollfie is actually a brand name, and they are "BJD" - Asian ball jointed dolls. They are very pretty and ridiculously expensive, and the fandom online is very strange.

A while ago, a movie came out in Korea called Doll Master that dealt heavily with these dolls, and used dolls exclusively from a company called Custom House. The movie did well, and recently it was announced that Mirimax is remaking it for a US audience.

People start off pretty sane, but it doesn't take long for the peanut gallery to start freak out, and one member (who has trouble with her keyboard, it seems), goes so far as to write a terribly unfortunate letter to Mirimax. (it's towards the bottom of the page, the long quoted thing)

Kai Nimura, so full of angst, randomly trashes the movie, as well as some different types of dolls, in an unrelated thread.** Myself and a few others tell her to GET OVER IT ALREADY, but she refuses, coming up with such witty replies as, "de twist your panties."

Those of us waiting in the wings just decided not to reply further after a certain (painful) point, but ... Jesus.

**Between the time I started typing this up and the time I posted, the thread was closed.

I want a Dollfie. Or ten. Stat.

I actually bought a doll collectors magazine today, because it was an issue dedicated to the Super Dollfies/Dollfies/etc.

Why are they so expensive? Someday, I will be rich and own one or two.

I have one, and another is being made for me in Korea. The hobby will eat your soul. And yet you will still love them!

Oh my goodness! I was wondering how long it would be before I'd see dolly wank on these boards.
Well there's a tick for Dollfie...I'm just waiting for either Blythe wank or Pullip.

I expect it more from Pullip, since there's been pretty massive crossover from the MLP fandom.

Holy fucking shit!

That is one seriously hilarious letter. I pity the poor Miramax assistant who gets that one in his inbox.

(Okay... actually, I don't. Those things are always good for a laugh. I'm an assistant, and I've gotten some truly awesome letters from disgruntled fans.)

People are idiots.

Dolls kinda creep me out.

"The boys have boy parts, and the girls have girl parts.."

Um. That's... oddly disturbing. (although, I suppose one could say the lack of such parts on American dolls is also disturbing, but...)

Man, those dolls give me the creeps. Frankly, I can't say I'm surprised that a bunch of histrionic weirdies flock to toys that look like tiny, tiny Michael Jacksons.

Then again, I never liked dolls. I was the weird little girl on the block who sat in a cardboard box on the lawn and pretended to be Quint from JAWS.

DoA gets on fandom wank and it isn't even the old "porn!/not porn!" or "saying wife is degrading! (and related mess)" threads? No, it's the dollmaster thread. Come on, there were so many better ones back there. -_-'

And I don't really get your reasons for this not going on i_wank. I mean, I have no idea who you are and if you had anything to do with this, but the reason you state seems to be that you were wanky before and can't be now? Huh?

...Oh wait, took a minute to find out your ID. Yeah, you kinda did overreact along with everyone else. There were no winners here -_-'
