The fast fashion giant says it delisted the items "immediately" from its website and is investigating.

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.”

    It’s being over the top in the way it’s saying “sexualizing childeren = bad,” but at the same time, yes, it is bad. So, eh. It does give the article a sort of strongly PC coded vibe. I’m sure it was written by a leftist the right would call woke. Take what you will from it, despite the language used, the article is still sound.

        This is the same country that tried to ban small chested adult women from adult films and were going to have a government “breast inspector”.

        Can it, dude, I’m not on that side of the political aisle. I’m not in Australia and the knowledge it had to do with that was not known to me nor posted here at that time. But you bet the right would still call it woke, there’s a reason they’re hiding the epstein files. This isn’t some gotcha, you’re just a wanna-be hater.
