Geez, I'm sorry someone said that to you especially when they dont know or understand how we have to sometimes acquire these dolls.
Because of my GL lifestyle (sorta..) I'll play advocate
. Say some of us really are spoiled for being able to own BJDs and parade them around with better clothing then we dress ourselves. I say...What's the big deal?
Yeah, we could be using that money for charity or the less fortunate, but how is being able to afford 200+ dollar dolls really that much different then any other collection hobby? Some of us collect shoes while others collect dolls- its a hobby for many reasons.
As a child of two business degree parents I can tell you that owning a BDJ is one of the best investments anyone can put money to. I have yet to see anyone sell a BDJ for less then 100$ resell.(unless that person is reeeeally desperate to have the doll off their hands) even damaged and stained BJDs can still bring in profit to the owner because they are in such a high demand unlike some items like baseball cards and even heirloom jewelry; when those get damaged, you can kiss your profit goodbye.
Being considered spoiled has such a bad rap since it is matched with poor character qualities such as being shallow and ignorant which is not really true. I have met people with low income have equally bad character that you would think they were rich snobs @.@
I guess to make this short I'll conclude this: Being able to afford certain things in life which others can't will always make other people assume we are spoiled because we can somehow own pricey items and they cannot.This is not a bad issue reflecting individual people personally,being called spoiled is just one of those things we kinda have to shrug at because no matter how much to show people how hard we work or save to get these dolls..they are still going to call us spoiled.
