aquadreammachine:Lol! I love collecting dolls AND antiques (and watching AR!) but every doll I’ve seen on Antiques Roadshow has been hideous. Yeah, yeah, they’re super-old and that’s neat, but if those dolls are the reason doll-phobics call all dolls “creepy,” well, I can sort of understand. You think they’re hideous. I vastly prefer them to most modern dolls. Your opinion is not objective fact.A phobia is an irrational fear. Pediophobes (people who fear dolls) don’t have any particular reason to fear dolls, and I find most that I know are more unsettled by modern or vintage play dolls than the really high-quality antiques. No one type of doll is the “reason” fear of dolls exists. That being said, I suspect the media telling people they’re supposed to be afraid of dolls is a contributing factor.This edit makes no sense to me. Out of all the antique dolls out there that do have wonky faces or creepy expressions, this person finds a fairly unassuming china doll the creepiest? -- source link
