    I’m just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.

      The red circle is for people who cannot see.

    I’m so glad that red circle was there. I would have totally missed the joke.

    What actually happened is far far worse.

    She was the first American Girl doll who could hear, and they’ve gone and made her deaf.

    Poor thing.

    What was the title trying to say? I’m trying to read it from a different point but no results.

      Short answer is all American Girl dolls come with backstories and related gear. They also publish books with the dolls as the main characters

      I don’t really understand your question, but hopefully something here will clarify: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/31/business/2020-american-girl-of-the-year-trnd/index.html

        I didn’t expect a doll to be characterized as having hearing loss, so nothing was adding up.

    Remember when some cheap company sold a bunch of bald, unfinished Bratz dolls and tried to claim they were going through chemotherapy?
