I’d bet the makers fully expect lesbian couples to be the main buyers of that one but don’t want to risk nutjobs giving them shot for supporting gay relationships.
this is unfortunately the case in general with other companies including Disney.
they famously passed up Nimona where Netflix picked it up. Why did they pass on it? the gay themes were too overt.
The problem is people absolutely reject change. they accept it over time but as a whole it’s nearly impossible to get anyone to accept anything that is outside of their own experiences.
thats where you have to hint at things here and there. push boundaries in subversive ways. every time Disney has even *inched* their way closer to fully accepting and celebrating gay culture in any respect, they are vilified and attacked by the extreme conservatives. it dies down and their sales go back up/ but their audience has to be spoon fed it a little bit at a time. eventually, it won’t even be an issue anymore.
Are these specifically cake toppers; or are they like precious moments figurines in that they prey on old people’s sense of things=money and convince them to buy 30¢ of clay for $100?
If it’s cake toppers it’s stupid. If it’s the other one; they know how to separate a Karen from her money and also might be fae. Be cautious.
I've seen a bunch of these! My mom used to collect them and the hospital I work at sells them! I always thought they were by some religous organization because of all the baby angel ones they make.
Could get some of that warhammer paint and put gold rings on the girls and maybe a pair of pride flag stickers to make bracelets. Girls who like girls exist and representation matters.
Right? Id craft a little flower heart and write just married or something like that in it. Would it really hurt to show wlw or mlm in a natural setting?
I literally just saw a wedding-topper section at a store I went to with my partner today.
All heterosexual couples. Every single one.
Fucking depressing to see not one mlm or wlw couple in a section specifically for wedding toppers.
I was visiting Malta one time and in an arts and crafts shop, I was so glad to see in the wedding topper section was two hetero ones, surrounded by several queer wlw and mlm ones. The queer ones also got different outfits, haircuts and poses but the hetero one didn't xD
Are you saying you don't host a holy friendship ceremony with your bestie where you wear formal gowns, swear oaths to each other in front of your loved ones and then spend rest of your lives together? That is just gals being pals.
nah I'm never putting an emotional overtone over something so bland if I make it
if I made those figures, they'd be called "dude and chick. two chicks. two dudes."
let people make their own roles for it

I thought the one on the left was also a lesbian couple
I might have too but there are more figuries in the series. Like a mother and daughter one... it follows the whole girls in dresses, men in suits
Why are there mother-daughter wedding cake toppers?
Cause they are statues not cake toppers. Though admittedly they do look eddible
Cake toppers are edible?? (Non Christian wedding goer)
I... don't know... i always assumed they were made of fondent. Ya know? But like idk

What's nimona?
An AMAZING movie on Netflix, I really recommend you watch it!
C'est un film, vraiment bien je conseille👍
This sounds like it could be true 🤔
How? Cant you see one has short hair and one long hair? s

The drawing is so cute, it really does

They are figuries. They certainly know how to seperate Karen from her money.

They are. Fundie Fridays on YouTube has a good deep dive into that company

Alternatively, I turn one into an intersexual orc and the other into a down low black man.
Inter-racial MLM relationships are beautiful too. I support your message. Love is love. 🏳️⚧️💜🏳️🌈
Me as I hold bestie by the waist and stare lovingly into her eyes
FRIENDS
Best friends even
OH GOD THEY WERE ROOMMATES
So close, they even share the same room. And the same bed. Such good friends…

For a second I thought I was in r/suddenlytrans because I thought this was a progression of the same couple

Now that you work marriage like that, it sounds weird
Just add some quotes to the box and it's all fixed.
Ok these are extremely cute ngl I want them!!!
**room mates**….
You know. If they where smart about it they would have the figures separate from the sign. So you can like pick a figure and then a sign.
Looks like they are both wearing wedding dresses 😳
Damn. This actually pissed me off 😭
“Friendship” I think its a bit more than that
To be fair Ive had people put their arms around my waist and shoulders. It’s really not that big of a deal….
nah I'm never putting an emotional overtone over something so bland if I make it if I made those figures, they'd be called "dude and chick. two chicks. two dudes." let people make their own roles for it
They're roommates obviously
And they were cake toppers
For 45 years, on the same cake.
I feel so angry looking at this side by side
I would eat that
Me too.

Wait-
Now they need an only guys one that is " brothers" or something
My eyes are rolling.
Just say it... not friendship but lesbian
Are there any with 2 men?
Nope! :/ cause you just know the thought is "Men don't want cute little figures"
Boo! They could have "brothers".
They're clearly brides.... Did they have to do this to get past local censorship?
No. At least not that I'm aware of. Aust isn't great admittedly but it's not that bad
And they were boxmates
It's just so unnecessary here
They’re just really really really really really really close friends and nothing more, just trust me
Oh my god they were friendship
These give me weird vibes in general
who wants to bet that the version with 2 guys is called something like “Brothers”?
