So what? It's a title. Are you really getting hung up on limited character length? What do you usually associate with dolls that is getting you hung up? I guess Ninja Turtles and GI Joe aren't dolls they are "action figures."
Lmfao. It's gonna be okay.
I probably shouldn't be posting in this thread since I don't have an opinion one way or the other in FFXV, I just felt compelled to make an observation.
Bruh, I'm not even tripping. I'm trying to understand your train of thought.
You are the one pointing out how the title isn't conforming to a perceived standard or norm. Â You are in fact claiming it is deviant based on your reaction. Obviously you are taking an issue with how I titled the topic. So what is your issue?
The use of "or" makes "men" and "dolls" sound mutually exclusive. Which kinda makes me scratch my head when you point at masculine dolls and go "Look! Men can be dolls!" when I point that out. Alright, this is true, so was the implication intentional?
It doesn't seem relevant to the point you're trying to make in the thread here, either. Do you associate plastic people with "emo", "pretty boy" and "bourgeois"? Do most people? I don't, but I'm not most people, so.
If you feel like people are taking the wrong meaning from what you're trying to say, perhaps consider how you've worded it.
This is entirely irrelevant and a personal issue and interpretation. A title doesn't explain much of anything and can be serious, satirical, or ironic. If you don't like it you don't like it. If you're confused you could always ask for a clarification, but getting hung up on a title is silly.
Men or Dolls? Yes, the cast is a bunch of plastic perfect dolls. I hardly see any asymmetry, flaws, or realism. So what is wrong with the title again?
