Orginalet finns postat i tråden : I take issue with the term 'Random Eye Color'! Do you?, sida 8.
Eftersom det kan vara svårt att läsa i bilden kommer här en Copy/Paste av hela innehållet:
I've noticed a lot of threads lately that go something like, "With the amount of money I paid for this doll, I believe I am entitled to <thing the="" doll="" company="" does="" not="" say="" and="" has="" never="" said="" is="" included="" in="" purchase="" price="">". I've seen it with seam sanding. I've seen it with people expecting dolls in unusual skintones to be flawlessly sanded (which the companies generally take pains to point out is impossible). I've seen people complain that companies did not customize the default faceup they paid for on request. And now random eyecolor.
So here's the deal: What you are entitled to and deserving of when you purchase a doll is whatever the company has said is included in the purchase price of that doll; no more and no less. If they say it comes with randomly chosen acrylic eyes, that's what you get, and you do not deserve or have a right to select the eye color -- they TOLD you that what the price includes is random eyes. If you purchase a pair of eyes in a particular color, then and only then are you entitled to that color of eyes. Similar with seam-sanding and default faceups: You're pretty much always told what the thing you're buying includes. Just because you think what you're buying is expensive and want something more than what is on offer doesn't mean you're somehow cosmically entitled to get that thing, be it sanded seams from a company that doesn't sand seams, eyes of a color of your choice, or a customized faceup when you bought the uncustomized default.
If you think that what you're getting, what with the random eyes and the seams and the lips that aren't the exact color you wanted, is not worth the price you've paid, that doesn't mean the company is bad. I mean, they told you what you were getting for that price and you chose to ignore them. What you should do, if you found that situation unacceptable, is buy from a company that includes those things you demand for that price. I'm sure you can find one.
"But I want the sculpt from company X!" you say. Well, we all want lots of things. I want a high-end speaker system, and I only want to pay $200 for it, but that doesn't mean Klipsch is suddenly going to give me a set of $300/apiece speakers for $200, and it doesn't mean I deserve it, and nobody ever told me I did. So I have to either save more money, or settle for what I can afford with my $200. Note that one of my choices is not "complain on the internet that the thing I want should be exactly how I want it for the price I am willing to pay for it," because as it happens that is not how capitalism actually works. </thing>
