If by “age well”, you mean the past two weeks, give it some more time. Unless you have a time machine and can see more than five or ten years from now?
We’ll see what happens even 6 months from now. I feel another black market industry may about to be born perhaps? Or an operation in a “don’t care” country? Either way, they are now a rare and valuable commodity. Someone, somewhere, may be about to become very rich? Once again, “they” haven’t seemed to stop the drug trade after 40 years!
But I doubt the adult doll market will surge either. It’ll likely hurt the entire “legal” doll market. Some companies may or may not start pushing the envelope. Others will fade away and die. And so far as I know, The Doll House (UK) fought and won for the G cup, Piper 140cm dolls to be considered “petite adult” sized dolls. With Ariel being considered an anime style face, not a “child”. Akira and the others have young yet mature looking faces.
The world acts like similar, adult women don’t exist. Rare as they are, they do exist. Women with small breasts and young looking features should be outraged at all of this!! The rest of the world is in essence saying they don’t count as adults. It’s another blow from the averagest of feminists. I’m aware of several women (one, a friend’s wife), who look amazingly young for their age. And get super pissed when they answer the phone and the caller asks if their mom is available. And she’s in her 40s with 5 teenagers!
The modelling industry and media advertising has always gone for super skinny, petite, young looking faces to be the face of advertising and professional models. Tall or petite. No matter how other homely and average looking, lazy, fat-ass women have protested. (Keyword=”lazy”) That claim it puts too much pressure on young girls who don’t have any of those qualities. Even though, they all aspire to be accepted as such. That’s a personal problem of theirs.
This is what pushed the world into inclusivity and participation awards. “Plus-sized” and average looking models being placed in ads where they don’t fit. Forcing the public to embrace their “averageness” or lack of ability. Shit like DEI (“didn’t earn it”).
And on that note; industry shouldn’t be forced into hiring substandard, unqualified help because someone was lazy and wouldn’t work to get educated. Now it’s discrimination not to hire unqualified people; whether it’s their physicality or mental capacity. Why is anything someone disagrees with suddenly a “for-or-against” issue? Labelling a person a hater or an evil person when they disagree with a false narrative? A “you-must-hate-____, ‘cause you dint hire them or gib dem a award!!” It’s all a false dilemma and fear-of-being-labelled tactic used to get people to fall in line with their opinion and follow the herd.
Then there’s some girls/women who act as if they’re supermodel material, even though it’s clear to everyone they’re not! That’s over-blown ego!! Either you’re born with good looks, a young looking face, a “perfect body”; or you’re not. You can look however you look and still be a narcissist.
Those same girls shouldn’t blame an industry for their insecurities about themselves. They should blame shitty parenting. Accepting and embracing one’s own self is a matter of confidence. They should’ve been taught that looks don’t matter. It’s what’s on the inside. That using your brain is a good thing! There are real women, with great personalities, who actually exude that kind of confidence, embrace who they are. That they’re OK for who they are. I find that to be attractive, regardless of my physical attractions. Society and religion’s to blame for being so judgmental about everyone and almost everything.
I have no desire to violate any trust or have physical relations with any young person. I truly enjoy the view! Even with my dolls, they’re beautiful and cute, they’re emotional support for me. In the same way emotional support animals are now allowed most places whereas pets are not. Why can’t society accept that some of us have emotional support dolls? Why criminalize everyone for having them due to supossistic intent? Why not criminalize a person bringing their “pet” into a store or on an airplane? Or for owning kitchen knives that “may/possibly/could be” used to murder someone?
