France’s consumer watchdog has reported the Asian fast fashion giant Shein to authorities for selling “sex dolls with a childlike appearance” on its website.

The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said the online description and categorisation of the dolls “makes it difficult to doubt the child pornography nature of the content”.

Shein later told the BBC: “The products in question were immediately delisted as soon as we became aware of these serious issues.”

    Well as far as I’m concerned we’re going to wait and see what happens because I’m not part of any committee that has a say in the matter, I’m not about to put in the work to form one to do so, and in all likeliehood neither are you. But hey, if you are, by all means, salt the ice on the slope. I buy resin minis and paint them, and I wouldn’t exactly appreciate more hurdles in doing that.
