    I’m just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

      The red circle is for people who cannot see.

    What actually happened is far far worse.

    She was the first American Girl doll who could hear, and they’ve gone and made her deaf.

    Poor thing.

      First look at slightly above center and read 2 lines in a centered window 80% of image width. Then aim for 95% down, 95% left and read a line 85% of image width.

      Always happy to help the visually impaired appear normal in public!

        Could you add a flashing arrow pointing to where I should look. One for each step that is. Thanks

      Also this one comes with hearing aids. So it can still hear you, just not as well as the others.

    What was the title trying to say? I’m trying to read it from a different point but no results.

      Short answer is all American Girl dolls come with backstories and related gear. They also publish books with the dolls as the main characters

      I don’t really understand your question, but hopefully something here will clarify: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/31/business/2020-american-girl-of-the-year-trnd/index.html

        I didn’t expect a doll to be characterized as having hearing loss, so nothing was adding up.

      That’s mean. HoH children will love the representation. They have very few relatable characters in media.

    Remember when some cheap company sold a bunch of bald, unfinished Bratz dolls and tried to claim they were going through chemotherapy?

    Well it’s nice to know that their new haunted doll cannot hear us. Unless of course we sign, or otherwise use our hands in an exaggerated manner while speaking.

      I suspect the doll with hearing loss knows sign language.
