I know this sounds silly because the base price of BJDs is so expensive, but I always crazily felt out of place in other communities because I felt like I did not spend enough money.
I have lots of BJDs, all from more expensive companies, with custom clothes, angora wigs and so on.
I have lots of customers and earn good money with my commissions.
I never felt out of place, neither when I started nor nowadays.
But in every other doll community?
You clearly feel it with Blythe, and I felt it way too much with Dollfie Dream, but money makes an even bigger difference there.
Dollfie Dreams are often limited, their aftermarket prices are hefty and you know there is a difference between having some self-painted DDH-06 at home and having Sasara, Beatrix, Miku, Yuki Morikawa and co. at home.
With Blythe it were the customs.
Stock Blythe, Fake Blythe, who cares.
It's all about owning certain customs.
They are communities where buying some priced custom or expensive limited matters more than creating something great.
For someone who's too much into customizing that's zero fun.
I prefer a community with creative people who do lots of stuff themselves over communities where people gush at each other how much money they can spend.
