Will you give up to buy a doll because of others' bad compliments?

I don't understand why would you give up something you love just because someone else doesn't like it?

I live for myself not for others. I love obitsu dolls and other dolls that most people don't care about. Do I care? why should I?! I love what I love.

 

Never. I buy what I want. It's my money after all. Unless they personally are going to go out and spend their own money to get me the doll they think I should have which is doubtful, I can get whatever I find appealing to me.

 

TBH and quite frank....It's none of their damn business what they think.
If I worried and cared about every stupid negative comment I have gotten, bjd hobby or not, I'd never get anywhere in life. If you truly are passionate about something, it wouldn't matter in the slightest what people tell you.

If you have "friends" that go out of their way to be negative to you, it's time to find new ones. IMO.

If you can support yourself and your bills are paid, fine get the doll and to hell with what everyone else thinks. You earned it.

 

it dependes if the compliments have proof ?
because if there is allot of bad compliments on
one of the dolls for sure there is something

wrong but then its always best to make sure
and ask the company its self about the doll

 

MonaXanoM: Compliment is not the same as feedback, to my understanding. I always search for feedback before buying a doll ie. is it a good/reliable company? good quality, poser? etc but the OP is talking about people's likes/opinions on dolls (ugly, cute, popular, worthy etc) and I do not care for that one.

 

No I don't think I would. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am entitled to mine. They aren't the ones creating the character or buying the doll. c: I go for what I like and though I enjoy hearing others' opinions, I don't let them overrule my own!

 

I am in this hobby for myself, not for others. so no matter what anyone else thinks, I buy and put together the dolls that I like.

 

I tend not to listen to what other people say or think about my hobbies so I'd take that doll home with me anyway. ^^ My mom and friends loved my first doll and thought he was cute so I have yet to hear anyone tell me that what I do is odd/creepy. But then again, maybe that's why my doll "ego" is so unfazable. xD;

 

A lot of times because of the quality problem of the company, lead to give up the doll plan.

 

Nope. It's my doll - I have to like it. If others don't like it, it's their problem, not mine. What might stop me from getting a doll, probably, would be bad feedback on either the company or the doll itself (like, joints not working properly, company not reliable - that kind of thing).

 

I couldn't give up on a doll just because other people dislike him/her. It'll be my doll, in my house, in my doll family. It's not like my doll will hurt anyone because it exists. They're entitled to their own opinions, and I'm entitled to the freedom to choose which doll I will spend my money on.

 

No, never. Why would I? I only buy dolls for myself and no one else.

 

Never, if I desire a doll, no one matters- just my opinion

 

uhhh... no. Not really. Unless they're right about it and see a flaw I was overlooking and I find myself really minding after taking note of it. Or... if they were against it because the company the doll is from was having some serious issues or they were warning about poor quality... But otherwise, no. It doesn't matter if others dislike my doll or if they like it at all as long as I like it. I'm not in this hobby to join some sort of popularity contest.

 

If I like it, why should I care what you think? If others dont like it, I'll still buy it.
HOWEVER, if there are people giving it bad reviews because of poor posability or other legitimate issues, not just "They're funny looking," I could seriously reconsider.

 

Actually, for me it is quite the opposite. I want a DiM Bellosse, but everyone around me (with exceptions) has said that she is ugly/weird/freaky/you name it. This only makes me want her more! I want to have her because I think she's adorable and I don't care if people around me dislikes her. I don't know, perhaps they'll like her when they see mine.
If many people dislike a sculpt (based on the looks, and not have quality concerns etc) makes me want it more. I like dolls that are weird and/or less popular. If less people want them, hey, more for me!

 

I get what I want regardless of how others feel. This hobby is for ME. So I don't think about that stuff.

 

A stranger telling me he/she doesn't like my tastes has no meaning to me. I don't know their reasoning for their opinions or their tastes, so I wouldn't be able to tell a nonsensical point-of-view from a genuinely interesting one. It would be pointless to agonize over.

If a friend tells me she is vehemently against my buying a certain doll, I'd still buy the doll; I'd just not show it off when in her presence out of respect for her. This has happened before with a friend of mine who loves all my other dolls and owns dolls herself. She really didn't like Leeke Mikhaila's innocent face with the wide hips, which historicaly had sexual connotations. I think she was uncomfortable with what she saw as the explicit sexualization of a doll with child-like features. In some ways I agreed with her, but Mikhaila was such a unique doll that it overrode any unfortunate connotations. When I received Mikhaila, I simply never showed her the doll, and that was that. It hasn't affected our friendship in any way. If she had continued to harangue me about a doll that she never sees, I would have considered her actions strange, but it wouldn't affect my own opinions of the doll, unless she had legitimate arguments besides 'I don't like it, therefore you shouldn't, either'.

 

Hey, no way!

 

Story of my life, seriously.
I'm having a really hard time trying to get my first doll because my mom -hates- them. If I'm going through a photo stream of dolls, she'll give me looks and just... ugh. It makes me really paranoid and stressed, because I feel like when I finally get my boy home, my mother will say awful things about him and I won't want to get him out of his box around her.

But even though I know I'll get the negative comments, I honestly don't care anymore. I'll be seventeen when I order my first doll, so I'm nearly an adult and if I like them and I want to get in the hobby, just leave me alone. Plus I'll be buying him with money I PERSONALLY MADE, so no. No one's opinions can stop me. (They hurt my feelings a bit, but I know when I get him in my hands I'll know he's beautiful and perfect for me ♥)
