I read an article today that mentioned Bratz games and how children are becoming ruder. While the article didn’t exactly say that is was the Bratz games making children rude, it couldn’t have been a good thing to see the girls listed there alongside Grand Theft Auto and other “bad” toys.
I don’t think that the Bratz dolls are bad toys. I don’t think they make anyone behave badly or even become remotely rude. The movies might show girls with a bit of personality, but they aren’t rude. And the Bratz games especially have nothing to do with rude children. The kids get to dress up characters in any way they like and dressing up dolls and playing pretend is actually something many parents want for their children.
Playing dress up games such as the Bratz games can be a bit developmental milestone for kids and using your imagination when you play is much better than watching some show or playing video games. So anyone who complains that the Bratz games are turning kids into brats of their own right obviously has not spent much time actually playing with the dolls or playing Bratz games online.
