So I want to share something bizarre/fucked-up that happened to me. It's an ad for AliExpress I got.

Now I do buy a lot of hardware and craft stuff from there. But not much else.

Nothing political. And certainly not this side of politics.

I do say "trump fucks kids" often on social media in response to any maga what-aboutism.

I can only assume that's what caused this.

But look at the last image.

That's the most disturbing one. Because this ad is obviously targeted at me because it thought I was maga for saying "trump fucks kids".

Now I went to AliExpress to see if they sell real dolls at kids ages. They do. And many people have bought them.

I think buying the babies is weird but I kinda get because doll collectors. But not 5 year olds.

Someone tell me I'm reading too much into this . But it appears to be that the people who buy the first items are also the people buying that girl doll.

I can't see anyone needing a realistic 5 year old doll for any reason other than sex stuff. Who makes this? Who are the buyers? Wtf.

afaik I read somewhere it's people who are either childless, alone, and unable to reproduce, or use the dolls as posable models for amateur non-porn photography.

Well I hope that's true

Isn't it weird what other items it's paired with though ?

Those I mentioned are very much the exception, and they're in much smaller numbers.

This content is not available in my region. It's provoked a fuckin horror show in my imagination.
