Irritated by the bias against "masculine" features that I detected in some DOAers’ comments<\/a> on Dollmore Trinity Klaire, I have looked more closely at the remarks. A sampling are shown below:<\/p>\n

Kitty Blue: "Not certain how I feel about her…she has some striking features but her face seems rather large compared to the others, love the make up, but the LE outfit is the same as Elysia."<\/p>\n

Teddy: "Nice, but there’s something about her eyes that doesn’t appeal to me – I much prefer Elysia and Lumie."<\/p>\n

Shawnee: "Funny, I love her eyes. It’s her mouth I really don’t like. It just seems too big for her face. Like kitty blue said, everything combined, her face looks too…large? for her head\/body."<\/p>\n

Stella Maris: "She looks very masculine, nope, not for me. … Beat hard with the man stick I’d say."<\/p>\n

nancy_schroeder_ca: "I’m not sure about the new Klaire<\/span>, but I don’t have room for another Trinity anyway! Maybe the next version will be better. She might look better with a different wig and faceup."<\/p>\n

Stormlight: "Oh, the new girl is gorgeous! I think she looks a lot older<\/i> than the other three. Like someone in her 20s rather than her teens."<\/p>\n

bronzephoenix: "Oh dear, she looks so masculine to me!"<\/p>\n

thothep: "I like all of Jude except her mouth feels too small, and now I like all of Klaire<\/span> except her mouth is a little large…"<\/p>\n

polyhymnia: "I think Klaire<\/span>‘s face is pretty cool."<\/p>\n

Jisatsu: "I was thinking Klaire<\/span> looked so much like the first run of Narin 60."<\/p>\n

monkeycancer: "RE the new Klaire<\/span> doll, my first thought was ‘guy in very convincing drag,’ so I’m glad other people are thinking ‘masculine.’"<\/p>\n

jemmilly: "I like Klaire<\/span>, but not Dollmore’s face-up."<\/p>\n

Despite gender policing from Stella Maris, bronze phoenix and monkeycancer, remarks seem overall more positive than I initially thought. I find it interesting that, even in a hobby where the dominant aesthetic for Asian BJDs is one of androgyny in facial features, people have limits to how much androgyny they can handle. I also find it interesting that DOAers are referring to "large," "masculine" and\/or "strong" features as if they’re bad things. I myself actually prefer facial features with those traits, but then again I am known for my affinity for stylized, almost caricatured headsculpts.<\/p>\n
