Entry tags:fandom: ball jointed dolls, taking it too seriously

Over at the ball-jointed doll forum Den of Angels, user haha has a question:

Do dolls really have to marry dolls (if they want to get married)?"

haha wants to know:
i am just curious. if i get an engagement ring for my boy and myself, is it weird/crazy/mad to you? i treat my dolls not as my "kids", but as my "boyfriends". does anyone else do the same thing?

can dolls be married to their owners instead of another (or other) dolls?

Responses, naturally, vary; they range from "I'd say, marry who you like- that's for you AND your dolls...." to "if you are substituting dolls to fill normal family roles then it's time to get help." It is generally unclear whether the OP is serious or kidding.

Of course we could not have this discussion without accusations of closed-mindedness: juumou announces that "It sounds like there are some less-opened minded people here."

As if that weren't enough, we also have omichao and possibly Guide declaring their asexuality, and the requisite ad-hominem attack by Chachamaru: ""unique situation" Since when being a teenage girl pretending to be a man considered a "unique situation", just another reason to call a shrink in my opinion."

Really, the entire thread is lots of fun. It has everything, including mods stepping in and telling people to behave, and someone bitching about spelling! And if we assume everyone is going to ignore the modly pleas for civility (which is a safe bet on most message boards, really), this baby's just getting started.

Dammit. Even though this is one of my fandoms and I ♥ these dolls, I will forever and always think that BJD stands for Blow Job Doll.

Suuchan However, joking (or not joking) about marrying a doll is disrespectful to actual marriage. What, are you going to annul it when or if you find someone you really want to be married to?

Maybe, uh, there'll be nothing to annul, 'cause dolls are frickin' inanimate objects that can't consent to marriage in the first place?

I love:

Just be prepared to expect crazy looks/comments when you discuss it with outsiders, who have not been exposed to BJDs for less than a few hours.

Honestly, I really don't care whether you're using this doll as a dildo, and please believe me, three hour's exposure will not change my mind.

The only thing that keeps coming to mind is "BY WHY?! DEAR GOD WHY?!". I think my brain is in the process of shutting down from the sheer WTF of it all.

I don't understand the big thing with dolls, I mean, I'm not saying its stupid to like them or anything. I just don't get how people can get so utterly devoted to them... or anything else for that matter.

I thought those dolls were pretty cool (you know, as cool as blank, lifeless, staring bodies can be), until I saw the pricetags. I cannot believe people, adult or otherwise, spend so much money on dolls.

Dear crazy BJD owners,

I understand that you are bad with people, and never really learned socialization. As a consequence, you've turned to attaching emotion to inanimate objects. Far be it from me to judge you for that - my dad used to work for the Franklin Mint, so people like you gave us a place to eat and sleep at night.

But at the end of the day, it's a doll. It has no "emotions" outside of the ones you project onto it in your desperate bid for some sort of emotional connection to something.

In the short term, replacing a 'real life' relationship is fine- it may even prevent some types of unhealthy behaviour- like having a crush on an anime character or someone at school...

Wait, what? Having a crush on someone at school is an unhealthy behaviour compared to wanting to marry a doll?

...what?
