That’s....disturbing. -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 9, 13:16
As we have known all along, Trolls are evil. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 13:14
it's bad design, but "intentional" is an enormous leap (and is the angle being pushed by the Qs, FWIW) -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:10 15
- and they pulled the toy basically instantly. fwiw there are two buttons. the nefarious one activates when she sits down. -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 18:12
- QAnon sees so much pedophilia in the world it’s really starting to make me worry about who they are at worst. - Qale Aug 9, 15:42
- Right, it’s meant to be sitting, i.e. on a surface, so the button would be triggered by pressing down on the whole doll. - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 9, 14:56
- Why wasn't it a tummy button? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:34 1
  - probably where it was available to be put, and/or zero thought was put into it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:45
- I disagree with the "enormous leap" part. - Spawn Aug 9, 13:30 5
  - the way the design process goes, it's basically always "stupid committee decision" instead of nefarious intentions. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:40 4
    - I still disagree. Like I said, the design doesn't even work. At some point in the process, that would have came up. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 9, 13:46 3
      - I mean, at least for this you can argue there was not as much of a process. -- (link) - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 9, 14:05 2
        
        likely the result of an automated design. - Reagen Aug 9, 14:26 1
        
        Manufacturer's Note: Not recommended for a yellow or white string. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 9, 14:48
- Agreed. There's no way to do that on that type of purpose -- nm - JD Aug 9, 13:12 3
  - Engineer: "Wait, girls have a part there?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:23 2
    - Engineer2: "Well, surely it would not have anything to do with causing sounds like those, right?" -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 13:27
    - "Its a good thing we didn't make her human!" -- nm - con_carne Aug 9, 13:25
wtf. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 13:03
