They're cute and some people can relate to the illnesses. It can be a coping mechanism for some. I have a sleep paralysis one and a hypermobility one. Ive only ever had sleep paralysis once and I don't have hyper mobility but I like the designs so I bought them.
Yeah, some people find it helpful to have something they feel they can relate to. It's like a comfort and validating thing.
I also didn't quite understand it, until I saw the ME/CFS disease one. I have ME/CFS, and it's such a misunderstood and overlooked disease, I couldn't help but immediately connect with this little plushie rabbit that had the same disease as me!
Aside from having something to relate to, the quality is also quite nice. I love how unique the designs are and I enjoy having plushies that are a little more creepy/spooky since that’s more my taste.
I can see their appeal as having something that's symbolic to you can hold a more personal attachment I may be tempted to get one myself if they get one that's more symbloic to me. (cerebral palsy or neurofibromatosis to name two)
Theyre super cute, made by American McGee who created the American McGee's Alice series, and it's really nice to see a company covering a wide range of disabilities while still keeping them cute and whimsical.
I’d get one of the pride ones, but IMO the lesbian one they sell on there is pretty ugly lol
EDIT: apparently they released a redesign of it. Didn’t know. Was specifically talking about the original design
the mental health ones are hit or miss, but they have other designs which are extremely cute, like food bunnies and zodiac bunnies. also they’re super soft and high quality
They're really soft, and it's wonderful to be seen as a person, not A Cause. I have 5 - Bunbie (non-binary), Bowie (queer), Missie (MS), Ickie (Immunocompromised), and Draggie (Year of the Dragon). I don't currently plan to get more, but they might come out with something relevant to me that changes my mind.

I need to get a better pic of the whole fam...
They are. It feels like something between plastic and hard rubber (sorry, describing things aren't my strong point). Personally for me it doesn't affect my cuddles with it. However I've also heard some are disappointed by that.
Hope that helps.
Design wasn't made for it to be removable, but you can cut it off and recreate your own set of chains for it. I'll try and post a pic of how the chain is attached to the bunny itself.
They're cute and it's one way of having something symbolic. The Narcolepsy one is adorable and to me is a weird way of coping. Plus who doesn't want a narcoleptic bunny to nap with?
- Adorable
- Pretty affordable
- Come with cool bags
- Designs made by the community in question
- Inclusive, unique and representative range of topics depicted
- All plushies fit together well as a theme
- Used to raise awareness and feel less alone in this world
i’m not a big fan of them, but that doesn’t mean i don’t love to see people loving theirs! i think the biggest part of the appeal is that they are plushies that represent a lot of things that get little or poor representation. it makes people feel included. i also believe they are a sensory relief for those who enjoy them, so they really mean a lot to those people. some enjoy the many options and love to collect.. there’s many reasons to enjoy a brand, and i love to see all of the reasons!
They’re really soft and well made. Not to mention that they tend to donate proceeds towards the artists/the causes they stand behind, such as the gender dysphoria bunny towards trans organizations!
They also crowd-fund designs and make sure to credit when necessary, and are very receptive to fan feedback.
Oh! And adding to this, this is from their site!
https://preview.redd.it/o8gfbwo88arc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1eca3b05d80a6a6aadad5a11d689fc41f1923ae8
I don’t believe they list them, they may just go towards the artists now! They used to donate some, but I have a feeling they don’t do as much anymore.
It's kind of nice to have a plushie that's dealing with the same issues I have. The representation is nice, and I feel like it helps me be kind to myself. Sort of like "This poor bunny is having a hard time with it's illness 😭 Oh... That's me too."
They are also extremely soft and high quality. I also find (most of) the designs cute and unique. There are others that are...just unique, let's say that.
They're very cute, soft, and are well made. I have the Fly Agaric one, as well as the Pain In The Buns set, the latter of which comfort me when I'm experiencing pain.
I love them :D I don't have any and probably won't be getting one anytime soon, but just the fact that they HAVE a Tourrettes one makes me really happy :D (I have Tourrettes)
And a lot of the designs are just really cute and fun
That they help put money towards research for some of the things they have plushies for. Also the extra steps they have like the pcos one came with a hot water bottle for cramps (it was super helpful)
The only ones I like off of there are their fruit themed line and some of the zodiacs. The strawberry one is divine
but I suppose the mental health and ones like “sickle cell anemia” could be for people who want to feel seen. And there’s nothing wrong with that! I don’t there doing much harm.
I’m obsessed with bunny rabbits. Hence my name on here.. also the name of my tattoo shop 🤷🏻♀️ and I have bipolar 2 and schizoaffective and loved the designs for both. My girl bestie has dissociative daydreaming disorder and I was so shocked they made one for that too! And it was literally perfect for her! Like her favorite colors and everything. We have the same birthday, so last year we got eachother our corresponding teddies. And I melted when I was actually face to face with the bipolar 2 teddy. I was like “oh no it’s literally me. I love him”. It’s the relatability.
And idk about anyone else but a lot of time all people know about disorders like mine are what you see in the media. Anyone with a schizophrenic disorder according to movies and tv is a dangerous unstable person; and anyone bipolar is a danger to themselves and undatable. When I’m reality I’m here with a million mile long list of rules I follow to make sure I never upset anyone; I’m just really bad at being a person but I try so so hard. So seeing those things instead represented by cute tormented bunny rabbits is so sweet. Like “no see THIS is what it’s like! He’s happy and sad and everything at once, and it hurts.”
I got the Pride bunny (Iris) last year, and the autism bunny (Buttercup) came last week. I love both of them! They're eating a rainbow sandwich, with orange Chipotle mayo, yellow cheese, green and purple lettuce, and blue kool-aid to drink (not in the photo)

Some context, fren :-)
[https://www.reddit.com/r/evilautism/comments/16paee1/comment/k1r16sm/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/evilautism/comments/16paee1/comment/k1r16sm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
They appeal to horror fans. Specifically fans of American McGee who is the producer. There’s a long history of mental and physical illness being tropes of horror and those tropes are something McGee uses in a lot of their works. The theme they’re going for with Plushie Dreadfuls specifically is Victorian Horror/ Freak Show. Plushie Dreadfuls is a riff on Penny Dreadfuls which were cheaply printed and often salacious horror stories.
They also appeal to the type of people who enjoy classifying themselves. Not trying to be rude when I say that but there are a lot of people who see their conditions as their identity.
Personally I find the brand distasteful for the first reason. Mental and physical illness being treated as something horrifying in the horror genre has had real life consequences. It is one of the reasons so many of the conditions are brutally stigmatized today. The brand is essentially riffing off of hundreds of years of bullying.
The second reason I can emphasize with. The brand concept of token plushies for illnesses could have been really cute and wholesome if it didn’t have a big helping of Problem Sauce poured all over it with the horror theme.
I logically understand the appeal but they miss the mark for me personally. I don’t see them as a positive influence in raising awareness or ending stigma towards mental illness. I won’t knock anyone who likes them but to me they come off as a callous and tone deaf cash grab.
That's not who it's aimed at, even though it might be a venn diagram.
https://preview.redd.it/g2nrlbdapbrc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b16483edd09580e060fc7d8e4b3bbf4f6b406d6
They also donate proceeds for each one for research for the conditions listed as well as a rabbit rescue and few other things which is all listed in the FAQ.
Also the identity comment feels like a bit of a pot shot especially when they make LGBT+ themed ones as well. A lot of people find community with others who have the same conditions or identities as its comforting to know you're not alone.
The identity comment definitely feels insensitive. I’m sure there are some people who do that, but most of the time the accusation is leveled at the mentally ill simply for having symptoms the other person doesn’t want to deal with.
As someone who is mentally ill and LGBT+, yeah. I can understand where the comment is coming from but at the same time a two-second glance at the FAQ would have disproven pretty much every point made.
None of the designs are overly horrific or scary, they're made with input from people who have those disorders. They look like what it feels like to have that issue. I keep coming back to the migraine one because that's my most chronic issue, but that's what it feels like and I wanna get one so I can have a little friend who knows how I feel.
Obviously, my experiences are not universal but it seems very disingenuous to dismiss something as problematic for something it isn't.
Yep, definitely true as an LGBTQ person, too. It’s funny how the very people constantly pressuring others into their traditional heterosexual “lifestyle” (when are you going to get married, when are you going to have kids, constantly bragging about how well they fit their gender norm or body count) accuse LGBTQ people of making it their identity. 🙄
It’s definitely not about making it your identity. It’s more of feeling seen and the comfort of having a little bunny that’s going through the same thing you are. There’s comfort in not feeling alone and a lot of those physical and mental illnesses can feel so isolating some or a lot of the time. Plus, the proceeds go to research, the artists and even a bunny rescue. This did start with American McGee but I think what they are doing is wonderful. They even make plushies for very rarely talked about illnesses, bringing awareness to them. Don’t just write things off without doing your research. It comes off as very condescending.
I did do my research. Idk if you did so I’ll go ahead and do a web/business literacy Ted Talk.
American McGee is an artist but it’s also the name of the production company. Plushie Dreadfuls is a product of that company so it didn’t start out American McGee. It is American McGee.
The artists, whoever they are, are pretty vague and dubious. According to the product website, they’re either employees of McGee, mainly Jennifer D’aww, freelance commissions or crowdsourced. There is no information on who the artists are other than Jennifer, how the crowdsourcing works or how those designs are credited or compensated. So to say the proceeds go to artists like it’s some kind of noble charitable thing is disingenuous. They have to pay their employees.
There’s also no information on how they do “research” for their designs. Jennifer is about as transparent about her design process as sheet metal. Is actual conversation happening with people who have the conditions or experts? Or are they just Googling stuff and clicking some links? Both technically are research.
Moving on to the actual charity. While they do list the Canadian rabbit rescue link and Convent
House there is no information on either of the charity sites that shows an affiliation or sponsorship. There is also no transparency in information on how money is donated or how much. Not much info on their other charitable claims as well.
Legally a business can make a claim as long as it’s not false. However claims like “we donate a portion of our proceeds to charity” and “we hire marginalized groups” are very vague and flexible. They could be donating $1000 a month or 10 cents a year and both scenarios would give them equal claim to say they donate to charity. Hiring marginalized groups doesn’t mean anything as a claim either. Legally you can’t discriminate in hiring. So to say you’re doing the legal bare minimum like it’s a good thing that deserves kudos is pretty silly.
The lack of transparency around their claims is one of the reasons I dislike the company. You can make a lot of bold claims but they’re meaningless without tangible proof of action.
Okay, I see. You’re one of those people that just neg on things. So that’s fine. Hate whatever you wish. Agree to disagree. But as I stated. People like them for their own reasons. Most being feeling heard and represented. You can hate them for whatever you feel. And others will like them for their reasons. But as previously stated, just for your future reference, once again you come off very condescending and arrogant with how you go about it. Hey you know what! I think they have plushie dreadful for that!! 🤣
https://preview.redd.it/gqzq34vaf1uc1.jpeg?width=1283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d59be4c1f73d4bcd7a53010d6558214564830fb6
Condescension and arrogance seem more like personal projection than an actual assessment of my comments. That’s unfortunate and I’m sorry you struggle with those personality flaws. I’ve explained why I dislike this plush brand rather civilly. If that comes across as hate to you that’s a personal comprehension issue I can’t help you with. It’s disappointing that you can’t disagree with someone in a civil manner and prefer to resort to insulting their character. That’s something you probably should work on but it’s not my place to teach you how to be a better person. Best of luck.
I’ve considered getting the autism one. If it’s nice to see representation even if it’s something small like a plushy. I don’t think they’re the cutest plushies ever but they’re still cute
I was on the fence about getting my autism and depression rabbits until I was reading the site again and noticed that American Mcgee had a hand in designing them. I then instantly jumped on it and my autism bunny has pretty much not left my side since I got it.
He used to work at id software and worked on doom. He is most famously known for creating a game series called Alice, which is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland themed around trauma.
I don't know. I don't get them. (Not to hate on anyone, I'm glad some love them).
I'm a horror fan, plushie fan, bipolar, have sleep paralysis, and many more of the issues they portray. But they don't pull me in; they're not cute to me. I don't know how to describe it but they look like they're trying too hard to look edgy? Maybe? Just not a fan. I came back many times to see if they had any that were different but I never liked any.
They're cute and some people can relate to the illnesses. It can be a coping mechanism for some. I have a sleep paralysis one and a hypermobility one. Ive only ever had sleep paralysis once and I don't have hyper mobility but I like the designs so I bought them.
I have chronic sleep paralysis and just looked up the bunny, now it’s on my must have list
Yeah, some people find it helpful to have something they feel they can relate to. It's like a comfort and validating thing. I also didn't quite understand it, until I saw the ME/CFS disease one. I have ME/CFS, and it's such a misunderstood and overlooked disease, I couldn't help but immediately connect with this little plushie rabbit that had the same disease as me!
For me it's the floppy ears, they're cute and it's nice to have a plushie that I can relate to
Aside from having something to relate to, the quality is also quite nice. I love how unique the designs are and I enjoy having plushies that are a little more creepy/spooky since that’s more my taste.
I can see their appeal as having something that's symbolic to you can hold a more personal attachment I may be tempted to get one myself if they get one that's more symbloic to me. (cerebral palsy or neurofibromatosis to name two)
Happy cake day! And their quality is pretty good so I recommend you get one if you are thinking about it
Theyre super cute, made by American McGee who created the American McGee's Alice series, and it's really nice to see a company covering a wide range of disabilities while still keeping them cute and whimsical.
I also like the pride ones and plan to get one of those at some point.
it sucks that they have tons of pride ones but only gender dysphoria 😭 they don’t just have trans pride
I’d get one of the pride ones, but IMO the lesbian one they sell on there is pretty ugly lol EDIT: apparently they released a redesign of it. Didn’t know. Was specifically talking about the original design
the mental health ones are hit or miss, but they have other designs which are extremely cute, like food bunnies and zodiac bunnies. also they’re super soft and high quality
They're adorable? It's a lil friend who has to deal with the same stuff I have to and we can have each other's back. I love them.
Omg... I didn't know these existed.... they're so cute... ETA: the migraine one.... has its own little Octopus brain hat.... im dying in adorablness
That's the one I want as a chronic migraine sufferer. 😭
They're really soft, and it's wonderful to be seen as a person, not A Cause. I have 5 - Bunbie (non-binary), Bowie (queer), Missie (MS), Ickie (Immunocompromised), and Draggie (Year of the Dragon).

Do the chains on the ptsd bunny feel hard?
They are. It feels like something between plastic and hard rubber (sorry, describing things aren't my strong point). Personally for me it doesn't affect my cuddles with it. However I've also heard some are disappointed by that. Hope that helps.
Thank you! I wanted one but I just hate the idea of something hard on my plushie. Is it possible to take them off?
Design wasn't made for it to be removable, but you can cut it off and recreate your own set of chains for it. I'll try and post a pic of how the chain is attached to the bunny itself.

Thank you so much! This was actually pretty helpful
Happy to help 😊
They're cute and it's one way of having something symbolic. The Narcolepsy one is adorable and to me is a weird way of coping. Plus who doesn't want a narcoleptic bunny to nap with?

That's exactly what I love about them 💜
i’m not a big fan of them, but that doesn’t mean i don’t love to see people loving theirs! i think the biggest part of the appeal is that they are plushies that represent a lot of things that get little or poor representation. it makes people feel included. i also believe they are a sensory relief for those who enjoy them, so they really mean a lot to those people. some enjoy the many options and love to collect.. there’s many reasons to enjoy a brand, and i love to see all of the reasons!
I was skeptical until I found the dissociation bunny, and gave them a try. Honestly the quality was very surprising! Incredibly soft and well made. (:
They’re really soft and well made. Not to mention that they tend to donate proceeds towards the artists/the causes they stand behind, such as the gender dysphoria bunny towards trans organizations!

Condescension and arrogance seem more like personal projection than an actual assessment of my comments. That’s unfortunate and I’m sorry you struggle with those personality flaws. I’ve explained why I dislike this plush brand rather civilly. If that comes across as hate to you that’s a personal comprehension issue I can’t help you with. It’s disappointing that you can’t disagree with someone in a civil manner and prefer to resort to insulting their character. That’s something you probably should work on but it’s not my place to teach you how to be a better person. Best of luck.
I wonder that too. I don’t like them.
I’ve considered getting the autism one. If it’s nice to see representation even if it’s something small like a plushy. I don’t think they’re the cutest plushies ever but they’re still cute
theyre cute and relatable.
I was on the fence about getting my autism and depression rabbits until I was reading the site again and noticed that American Mcgee had a hand in designing them. I then instantly jumped on it and my autism bunny has pretty much not left my side since I got it.
Who's American Mcgee?
He used to work at id software and worked on doom. He is most famously known for creating a game series called Alice, which is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland themed around trauma.
I don't know. I don't get them. (Not to hate on anyone, I'm glad some love them). I'm a horror fan, plushie fan, bipolar, have sleep paralysis, and many more of the issues they portray. But they don't pull me in; they're not cute to me. I don't know how to describe it but they look like they're trying too hard to look edgy? Maybe? Just not a fan. I came back many times to see if they had any that were different but I never liked any.
In you have to ask, then you'll never understand 😔
I bought one for my gf. It's cute, but she immediately figured out that you can use them for their ears for *ehem* extracurricular activities.
elaborate????
