Brazil breaks in a rash on the craze of dolls like life
Campinas: Gabby Matos Quintment appears to Dotting Mam because she changes Ravi’s diapers, reassuring her.But this Brazil “newborn” does not feel like changing its diapers. In fact, he has no real feeling.Ravi is a hyper-revision doll with a terrible similarity for a real baby.Some of the so -called “rebirth” dolls cry, dummy, suck urine, nails, eyelids and veins. But what actually distinguishes them from traditional dolls, with momi, has smooth colors their cooked characteristics and smear skin. Blink and you can make a bundle mistake in the stroller in Rio de Janeiro for the real thing.The demand for these replica infants, which first emerged in the United States in the early 1990s, has been rockets in the South American country in recent years, mainly targeting adults.Ravi’s 21 -year -old “Mam” said, “I always loved children and dolls from a very young age. When I discovered these art models, I fell in love.”Made with silicon or vinyl, the price tag for these bundles of bliss can run up to thousands of dollars.The Matos, which lives in the South-Eastern Brazilian city of Campinas, first so-called “rebirth”, as the first versions were traditional dolls that were modified by artists, which were to look like a greater life of nine years of age.Its collection now lasts up to 22 and taking care of his small allegations is a full -time task that he applies daily to his 1.3 million YouTube followers.But?“People say that I should be admitted to a psychiatry hospital because they believe that we believe with them (dolls) as they were real children, which is not so,” he said. “It’s sad.”
A country divided
The doll entered a public debate in April when a group of collectors held a meeting in a park in Sao Paulo.The footage of the incident went viral, as well as a rebirth with a separate video of “birth”, in which an affected an amniotic bag removes a disorganized doll from a bag filled with fluid passing to an amniotic sac and then clamps a make-masculine umbilical cord.Social media posts either exploded with positions condemning mothers’ behavior, as it is rejecting it as a harmless hobby.“Allow these people to lift rebirth. If they buy, it will be very bad!” Actress Luna Piovan wrote in a post on Instagram, which was seen thousands of times.
Buy a dream
Alana Jenoso, a long rebuke baby collector, now owner of her own doll store, insisting that her customers are completely brain sounds.“Many children come to the story, as well as an adult who lives a normal life,” said a 46 -year -old mother of the real four -year Triple.Alana Baby Maternity Hospital in Campinas is designed to look like an authentic maternity ward.Before handing over a doll to your new owner, the staff in a white coat take it from an incubator, weigh it, place it in a stroller and present a proud “parents” with a birth certificate.“Here, you are not buying a simple doll, you are buying a dream,” Jenoso argued.“Are people taking care of dolls such as they were real children? Yes, but they are not a majority.”The debate has taken all the rebirth for the Congress.Some MPs are calling for “rebirth” mums to receive psychological assistance, but others call for those who allegedly use their “infants” to jump into queues for public services.Last week, an MP clarified which camp he was when he brought his “granddaughter” to Parliament.Playing with dolls is “not a sin,” an agel pastor Manoel Isidorio argued.
Like men with kites
Collecting dolls for psychological Vivian Kunha is a hobby that is classified only as a disorder when it causes “social, emotional or economic loss”.“If the person works for example because ‘the child has a fever’, and it believes that he needs professional help,” he said.Kunha connected rebirth fever with a global loneliness epidemic, which the World Health Organization has associated with social disturbances during the Kovid -19 epidemic.“I think the doll comes from the discovery of an emotional bond or connection,” Kunha said.Matos argues that the criticism of the doll is sexist.“Male hobbies such as video games, flying kites, football are normalized. No one says they are very old to do these things, but women cannot take care of their dolls, without thinking that we are ill.”
