I couldn't suspend disbelief after the author called Labubu "cute".

My daughter owns one. It's not cute. It's terrifying. It has a monster's grin. It looks like something out of "Child's Play". You know it will murder you in your sleep.

Thankfully, she got bored of it pretty fast, as I suppose do most children (and adults).

The appeal of labubus is simple: they are cute-looking creatures that show their demonic side. Since many people have it, they find labubus cute.

Remember the first scene in the movie Constantine, where the woman that's being exorcised looks at her demon in the mirror and finds it cute? That's the same thing.

Haha, I like your take.

But Labubus still give me the creeps. Those teeth are not for smiling!
