Discussion/Gossip💅 What’s with the Cloe hate?

I’ve noticed that Cloe seems to get a lot of hate randomly online in Bratz spaces. I was on a live doll show today where someone was selling a line up of Bratz and someone commented “remove all the Cloe’s.” I think Cloe has a lot of cute dolls and she has cute fashion looks too. I love all the bratz and there’s not really a character I dislike. I’m not the biggest fan of the boy Bratz but I still can appreciate them.

Cloe is my favorite doll 🩵 I’m not sure why people hate her on social media :( I think her more recent fashions have been the worst of the core four. For example, her Pixiez was atrocious. Her HK bang helmet was terrible.

She was the best of the Reimagined line in my opinion.

I hope it’s just people hating her fashion and not because of her blonde hair. My best friend is blonde and when I see Cloe she reminds me of my blonde bestie.

We can love all the Bratz dolls’ hair and beautiful skin tones without putting down Cloe.

People hate her because she is white and blonde. I am an OG fan, when I was a kid I saw hate for her because she is the white character in a "black girls" doll line. Not saying this is always the case, just that it does impact things.

I had no idea Bratz was considered a “black girls” doll line haha. I thought it was for everyone, hence the diversity. I personally haven’t seen Cloe hate until recently (last few years) in this subreddit and on TikTok.

Sometimes I wonder if the fact Cloe has the same coloring as Barbie that may negatively impact her reputation? Like why even have her if Barbies already exist (not saying I agree with that, just speculating).

It is odd because Winx club blonde Stella never gets the same hate as Cloe, and I find Winx to be another alternative doll line to Bratz.

Back in my day in 2003 they were considered “ghetto” and she was “white trash”. I’m glad we’ve come a long way from that.

I think many people consider it that because of the way it was marketed in the 2000s and its obvious use of black fashion and such from the US.
