What do sex dolls have in common with American Girl dolls? The powerful spell of plastic perfection.
  • It's just a doll...

    AG dolls are too damn expensive, but they're well made, and I think you'd have to be seriously paranoid to see any sort of creepiness to a little girl wanting one. They are dolls that look like little girls, made to be played with by little girls.

    Many, though not all, little girls (and little boys) like to play with dolls. It's normal. They've been doing it in pretty much all cultures since the stone age. If you don't believe me, go to the British Museum and see the Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Ancient Chinese etc. toys.
