I don’t think you had to invite a way to pigment resin to buy a white doll.
But as a black consumer I should invent a way to do it to buy a black doll at a reasonable price but you’re quoting “the system” as if you didn’t perfectly exemplify what’s wrong with it
Nothing against this creator I love his work so much and have ordered a few dolls from him
But it’s just so crazy to see the black tax in plain view like this.
He said it’s harder to print the darker materials so it has higher fail rates so it cost more to produce
I do have a general question and maybe this we clear things up:
So I’ve seen a lot of people said “error” and “fail rate”
Is that something that will always just be unavoidable or is it a situation to where the more you do something the less errors or fails you’ll have?
Fair 1800 + Dark 2650 = 4450
Fair 2250 + Dark $2250 = 4500
If everyone agrees fair dolls sell more lets say for every 3 fair dolls they sell they sell 1 dark one just to give an example
It’s a smarter business move = more profit period.
So don’t use business as an excuse
Hence why is said I systematic problem that everyone saying doesn’t exist.
It’s a practice across the board…accompanied with this mentality 👇🏾
Well no…balancing it across all tones so 2250 for would be more logical.
And since everyone agrees black dolls sell less 😳 that’s more profit as they’d be making more of a profit off sell more fair toned dolls at a higher price leveling the market a bit
And even in my original post I never said the artist should or shouldn’t be charging whatever price they set. I said specifically that it was CRAZY TO SEEE IT LAID OUT.
As I was checking out I found it’s shocking that was my MAIN point
I always acknowledge that my opinion is just my opinion and that I have been presented with more information and been educated on the process and thus my OPINION has changed. And I thank everyone for the education. Very excited to pay $850 dollars more for darker pigment 🥰
I’m never one to argue with facts and when I’m presented with my information my opinion will change.
I’m not stubborn or argumentative so I’m not really sure why the tone of the comments are attacking as if I personally called someone racist
The gag is I’m still gonna order one because I don’t think the creator is doing anything wrong.
I just saw the difference in prices laid out and delayed my purchase because it’s wild TO ME. So see laid out like that 😭😭😭
See I was thinking they make the machines by default more compatible with lighter tones. I’m not an engineer but I’d think like they could fix that but I guess that’s not the case.
Im thinking “make them work for lighter and they can figure the darker out on their own”😭
I appreciate everyone adding context and I can definitely understand how my post was misunderstood
I apologize for any harm my words may have caused.
This is absolutely not calling out the artist for any racism , or questioning the logistics of production darker pigments i personally just found it very jarring to see price differences laid out
The SYSTEM is racist to me
Evidence:
“normal” is the lightest color
I ordered a Tiana in the darkest color available and this is what I’m being sent and was told “don’t worry tan is darker in person”
