How do y’all overcome guilt when it comes to buying/supporting Mattel
I would like to start this off with I love monsterhigh with all my heart it has brought me such great joy. I grew up on g1. Frankie, Lagoona, Sirena, Gigi, and Isi are my #1 ultimate favorites. For Christmas I get Amazon gift cards $200 and I’ll get my dolls off of amazon with the gift card money. I feel so guilty supporting these companies especially since they use child labor. I love monsterhigh dolls and media but I always feel so guilty that a little kid will be in a factory because of me wanting a doll. I also feel guilty since I can’t stand big business in general or captalism. I thrift to best of my abilities I try my best to not over-consume but I feel like such a hypocrite. I just feel awful. I LOVE my dolls I recently bought RD Cleo, Cupid,nefera,howliday clawdeen, and CR Cleo as either as an all As gift to me, Christmas gift to myself and birthday gift ( my birthday is in January ). I just feel so guilty for using those as a justification for buying something. I can’t stand it when influencers tell others they “need” this but then I turn around and support Amazon and Mattel even though Mattel screws up the fans and is damaging lives.
TLDR I just feel guilty knowing child labor is being used for my purchase when I buy from mattel :(
