I think China good for having put a stop to the production and investigating the maker, but to each their own I guess 🤨

Where do you think the dolls came from?

To be fair, the permits probably said "sex doll factory" and got stamped.

Now they are shutting it down, and we're onpy hearing about it because of that. Which i can't imagine happening here.

This was big news for the last two weeks though. There was massive pressure from multiple EU countries to ban all of Temu from the entire EU over these dolls.

Oh, got it. Okay. Yeah then they're no better than any other capitalist government. As usual.
