Toy-maker Hasbro announced that it will pull a new "Trolls" doll from stores after an uproar and petition denouncing a button located in the doll's "private area" that makes it "gasp and giggle," drawing accusations that the toy grooms children for sexual abuse.


A video that went viral shows a mother explaining her outrage and demonstrating the button after her daughter received the doll for her birthday:


A petition demanding that the toy-maker pull the product from shelves reached nearly 400,000 signatures. The petition states:

Our society is conditioning our children to think pedophilia is ok. This Trolls World Tour doll named Poppy has a button on her private area under her skirt. When you push this button on the doll's private she gasps and giggles. This is not okay for a child's toy! This toy needs to be removed from our stores. What will this toy make our innocent, impressionable children think? That it's fun when someone touches your private area? That pedophilia and child molestation are ok? It's not ok! It's not fun! It's damaging and has long term affects on a child's mental/physical health! Sign this petition to get this toy removed from shelves and help #SaveTheChildren! Children are our future and WE are their voice!

After Hasbro announced that it would pull the toy, Jessica McManis, the woman who created the petition, responded on Twitter:


"I didn't expect my petition to blow up like this! I'm so happy it did! They recalled the doll today. There's no way someone at Hasbro didn't think that it was weird when deciding to create this doll like that."

Pictures and videos of the toy are at the link, along with the article.

Looking at this, the creation of this pedo toy had to be intentional. The troll doll is a child's toy, in which it has a button on its crotch area. When the button is pushed, the troll doll (which looks like a child) makes gasping sounds that could be perceived as sex noises or orgasms. This button is not listed on the box. It looks a lot like the men who control Hasbro are trying to normalize pedophilia. This is occurring in an era in which we hear many more horror stories about child abuse, human trafficking, child sacrifice, and underground pedophile rings.

Let's also remember that multiple high-level WoTC Magic the Gathering judges (Ross Prajzner, Sam Straus, Jason Long, David Park, Luke Flora...for example) have faced actual convictions on child pornography charges and criminal sexual abuse charges. The pedo epidemic amongst MtG judges is something that Jeremy Hambly (of the Quartering) unearthed a couple years ago, and neither WoTC nor Hasbro has ever really apologized for it (or corrected it).

Meanwhile, the Hasbro troll pedo doll is something I discovered right now, so I'm still trying to process the potential implications of what's happening with Hasbro. What other depravities lurk down the Hasbro rabbit hole?
