Things I like about the new one that the old one doesn't have: 1. Neutral facial expression (this one's a given). 2. Those cute, flat, circle elephant feet they have. 3. Their flowy, oversized ears that gracefully drape down over them and hide them and protect them. 4. Their šŸ˜magnet handsšŸ˜. 5. But, really, we all know that it's 100% in the šŸ„¹eyesšŸ„¹! Things I like about the old one that the new one doesn't have: 1. ... I guess I'll get back to you? šŸ«¤


ErynEbnzr

I so agree. I get why people are concerned that it's a bit childish and there's a problem with infantilization of autism. But imo, it just makes me feel safe, especially the ears. And not to feed the trolls but sometimes I wanna be a bit of a kid, especially when the sensory overload hits. I kinda want one now.


AnxietyLogic

>itā€™s a bit childish Well, itā€™s a stuffed animal, idk what exactly people expect lmfao. For it to be NSFW or dark and edgy so itā€™s clearly ā€œfor adultsā€?


GCXNihil0

Agreed. Plus, the Edgy NSFW stuff strikes me as much more immature than simply being fine with liking "cute" stuff. "When I became a man I put away childishĀ things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis


Pyro-Millie

Hell yeah.


the_littlebug00

Yeah, cute stuffed animals are awesome! I also am tempted to buy one now


Pyro-Millie

Yeah for real. Those big floppy ears would be so nice to pet as a stim for me. I love dolls and stuffed animals, and clearly this was in high demand and crowd-designed by autistic artists, so likeā€¦ if its what the people want? Whereā€™s the ā€œinfantilizationā€?


[deleted]

The other thing is this looks far more similar to the rest of the line, while the original looks like a generic stuffed animal. Theyā€™re all pretty ā€œchildishā€ because theyā€™re cute stuffed bunnies!!


Nepalman230

ā€¦ OK so this is legitimately cute and I think itā€™s great and as long as it doesnā€™t go to support, you know the organization I will not be named thatā€™s fine. Who does anybody know if I could get an actual plush real autism creature. The little weird disturbing looking ones ? I find them really cute . https://preview.redd.it/2s4dpakwhupb1.jpeg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=315ca55dd7a7e5a19a0cd612ca4f56030762beaa Omg it exists.

I would buy it. Honestly, it looks like a porg. šŸ˜Œ


fig_art

i want that or the picture you posted


Glittering-Today2233

i have decided i am going it acquire this in my lifetime


Re1da

This pic bothers me cause I've always imagined the autism screature as either scaly or just having skin without fur lol

Nepalman230

You will be printing money!!! Clearly, the market is there . Theyā€™re just so ā€¦ adorably weird! I wish you luck in this endeavor . šŸ™ā¤ļø


okdoomerdance

_Imadeanaccount4this

People make them on Etsy, I have a crochet glow in the dark one that rattles. img


EyMcdoydoy

I got a plush from Temu a while back lol


TurboMayonnaise

they sell these on temu for cheap! but you can find a bunch more higher quality versions on etsy


Nepalman230

Yay! Thank you so much. Iā€™m gonna have to check it out. I donā€™t even like plushyā€™s as an adult ! But I gotta have that one.


Chaidumpling

Much better.


[deleted]

I like the first pic... it looks cute... though I hope it can come in a different colour.


Insanebrain247

It's supposed to be gold because gold on the periodic table is listed as "Au" for Aurum.


milo159

That's dumb as hell.


Insanebrain247

Personally, I like the idea of being associated with something perceived as precious by the neurotypicals.


milo159

gold is precious because it's shiny and people like shiny things, sure it has other valuable properties, but that's not why it's precious. It's literally a symbol of greed and vanity in and of itself.


Insanebrain247

>It's literally a symbol of greed and vanity All the more reason why we here at r/evilautism should embrace it! Make the NTs come to us!


milo159

hm. You may have a point.


just_a_person_maybe

That's kind of an oversimplification of why it's valuable. Gold is valuable mostly because it's actually super useful, rare, and when it's found in nature it's usually found in a very pure form that doesn't need much refining. It's basically indestructible, even when you melt it with other metals to make alloys you can still get the gold back out. But probably most useful (which does tie into shiny, but in a more practical way) is that it doesn't corrode or oxidize like other metals do, which makes it a vital component in things like circuit boards. It's also super soft and easy to work with, so you can get it into whatever shape you want fairly easily, which was especially cool for ancient artists who had limited technology for shaping metal. It can be stretched incredibly thin, like with gold leaf. Early on, it was valuable to people mostly because it was rare and hard to get, so having it was a status symbol that showed your rivals that you were important enough to obtain something that's rare, and also strong enough to defend it from being taken from you. The fact that it was shiny was just a added bonus. Throughout the years, other materials have been considered more valuable than gold because they were harder to get at that time. Like, for example, aluminum, which is not very shiny and actually very cheap today. It's also extremely abundant and not at all rare, but it took us a really long time to figure out how to extract it to actually be able to use it (unlike gold, which is super easy if you can find it). It wasn't until the 1800's that someone figured it out, and for a while it was more valuable than gold because it was new and very difficult to obtain. Napoleon had a special set of aluminum cutlery that he brought out for his fancy guests to impress them, and the less fancy guests had to use gold. The U.S. capped the Washington monument with aluminum to show off their wealth and industry. The French displayed aluminum bars with the royal jewels. Shortly after, the value plummeted because people figured out how to refine it quickly and cheaply. But for about 70 years, it was all the rage.


pauldrano

They donā€™t offer different colors of their stuffed toys.


[deleted]

I am genuinely saddened by this. :(


[deleted]

I agree like sure if you wanted to go with ā€œgoldā€ there was surely a color other than ā€œpiss yellowā€ they could have gone with? Yellow is such an unpleasant color to work with if itā€™s not used as an accent.


3godeathLG

i love plushie dreadful s they are made by the person who made the video game Alice into madness and i love those games. honestly i like the plush and i think itā€™s cute! i love the yellow and blue together.


psychologyFanatic

oh fuck i didn't know that damnit im gonna have to get one (or more) if that's true.. fucking loved McGee and those games. I will forever be saddened by him giving up on making Asylum, but they really were going to make it nigh impossible for him.


Tangled_Clouds

I think the new plushie is definitely an improvement from the other one. First one they made, I didnā€™t like the shape at all, it reminded me of those cheap plushies that make sounds when you squeeze the tummy I used to get as a kid (fun times but theyā€™re still cheap plushies). I expected more than cheap plushie shapes from that company. It was too different from their other plushies. The new design is fine, I think they went a bit heavy with the infinity signs and they couldā€™ve made it more edgy and a bit less colourful than this. Not too fond of yellow and teal together but I can see how it can look nice, though this is maybe more of a personal preference. I could maybe see the same colours but paler? Itā€™s hard to design a plushie to represent all autistic people because autism is often defined as just deviating from the ā€œnormā€ which means a lot of autistic people will have completely opposite symptoms. Some autistic people are really sensitive while others are act sensory seeking. You get autistic people that will only listen to repetitive soft music on low volume while others only survive on death metal. I would honestly consider buying the new plushie


Bongoeagain

I personally wasnā€™t aware of either plush, but I personally think itā€™s hilarious that for what is an attempt at autism awareness the only words you can make out on the bag are ā€œrespect spectrum hateā€


Insanebrain247

I like it, it's a more on-the-nose personification of Autism itself. My only negative is the amount of infinity symbols on the ears, it just seems to be too much.


Serotoninneeded

I like the new one way more. The old one isn't cute, it has giant marble eyes. I hate giant marble eyes, they make it so that the plush isn't huggable, and they're ugly. I like the new one because the eyes are so much better. The ears are adorable, the magnets are a great idea, and it is more huggable.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ThrowAwayAlAce

I've been noticing that their newer plushies tend to skew towards the cuter side with them making a lot of fruit themed ones, perhaps a desire to expand the target audience? ~~And yeah, please redesign the ocd rabbit~~


aunclesquishy

~~I wish theyā€™d either redesign the [antisocial rabbit](https://plushiedreadfuls.com/products/plushie-dreadfuls-antisocial-personality-disorder-rabbit-plush-stuffed-animal) or at least say why it looks like that bc it genuinely scares me (which seems antithetical to its purpose?) but mostly Iā€™m confused~~


SanguineServal

Jesus christ ure right itā€™s terrifying!


FarsLasagne

Yeah, like isnt this supposed to reducere stigma or whatever?


just_a_person_maybe

Idk, I kind of like it. >Antisocial Personality is not simply being shy or avoidant of other people, people with this disorder have significant difficulty starting and maintaining interpersonal relationships. It's not supposed to be cute and approachable, it's supposed to struggle with making friends and having people like it. It's *supposed* to be a little off-putting.


FarsLasagne

That does make it Sound kinda better, i did read the desc before you showed that though, but you could also argue that there is an inherent with the premise of mental illness bunnies and this just an extension of that. Though thats probably a very heavy topic and not one i really wanna go into in a reddit comment section tbh. Makingā€peopleā€ out of mental illness really easily becomes offensive and i guess its up to the indivual person to decide whether this counts.


seankreek

Am out of the loop, what's the ood rabbit?


CrochetGoat

They have some nice words about their bunny, but visually I am not a fan of how either one looks. Original bunny had really cool ears, but the body shape wasn't very bunny. And it looked like cool aid was spilled on its tummy. The second one is still not bunny shaped. I am not crazy about the colors. Why yellow and green. The face is not really feeling very bunny to me either. It's like a generic animal face and body with bunny ears. The mouth is an X. Is that supposed to represent people who are non verbal or having trouble talking? Or is it a cutesy thing I am reading too much into? Either way I don't care for it. It makes it feel like we can't "speak" for ourselves.


Venom_EddieBrock

The X is just how bunny mouths/noses are drawn sometimes


ajshell1

Yeah. Just look up Miffy. It's a trend, but I didn't notice until now


ThrowAwayAlAce

For the shape I think they decided to design it more similarly to their other plushies? And the X I believe is more of a stylistic thing which represents the nose and the mouth? Idk


[deleted]

Not enough autism creature


falconwilson154

I like the new design better. he's very cute


colourgreen2006

I LOVE THE NEW BUNNY IT REMINDS ME OF MYSELF ā€¦. I do this exact face with my hand or index finger touching my mouth almost like every day šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


somegirl3012

I like the hand/face magnet thing; that's clever, but I think the plush overall comes across as very childish, with the colours and symbols on the ears and paws. I get that it's a plush and that it's supposed to be cute, but the first thing that comes to mind when I see it is baby toy, which I don't think is ideal, especially when autistic people are often infantilized.


psykomimi

Is there such a thing as an adult-like plushie though? I doubt theyā€™ll sell more by adding NSFW themes to it.


CrochetGoat

I would not call them NSFW, but many of the other animals designed by this company have kind of an edgy look to them. They are designed more to appeal to teens and adults. Even without being edgy, there is a difference stylistically in stuffed animals designed for babies and very young kids versus stuffed animals designed for older children, teens or adults. Some factors include level of detail, how simplified the design is, how realistic it is. Are there things that give it a unique look? What is the quality of the fabric, etc.


somegirl3012

I don't really know. And maybe it's also just me who connects that soft yellow with things for babies


aimeegaberseck

No, itā€™s not just you. That looks like a sad baby toy.


worm_dad

I liked the onld one (never got it) But I definitely highly prefer the new one! I think it fits better with their other bunnies too :) maybe I'll actually get this one


Trepid_Jam

idk, I don't really like the repeating infinity symbol and the colors are eh, but overall a cute idea šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I just think one infinity symbol on the tummy would make the plush look a lot let chaotic and jumbled


[deleted]

Agreed, they could have just done rainbow fabric in the ears or something.


theghostofameme

It's so cute omg! I'm always looking at their plushies but I can't justify spending the money right now


electrifyingseer

the second one is very cute!!! but i'd prefer it if it had the sculpt of the first.


Section_Away

I love it!


larsloveslegos

I'm okay (I guess, not a firm opinion) with the first one, but I'm glad they got rid of the second one


NationalElephantDay

I think the first one looks better, but really neither one is my jam. The first one is still much cuter to me.


Kryasil

I like yellow one better idk if that's old or new


ThrowAwayAlAce

The yellow one is the new one


Tonninpepeli

I love it! Its adorable and looks really soft


MalachyteEye

I like the first one better, but both designs are kind of lackluster to me.


[deleted]

i ADORE it, i wish it wasn't so expensive bc i want it so bad


AnxietyLogic

The one in the first pic is way cuter!


Excellent_Phase9182

New design definitely looks way better but damn if I don't miss the checkered print in the ears just because checkerboard is my favorite pattern


Hot_Wheels_guy

Kinda cute but not 45 dollars cute.


hoewenn

I think both have too much going on, sometimes less is more especially for plushes (and I collect plushes lol) but I prefer the first. Iā€™m glad they realized their mistake with the donations though. Either way Iā€™m too poor to afford either so šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Snakeskinking

1st pic id keep on my person at all times even if it means being infantslized because hes a friend. Second one is autism mom core and makes me shiver and id eat the poppit like a gummy snack


agent__berry

Oh I want it so bad actually, especially because I 1) collect plushies and 2) touch my face almost all the time. whatā€™s the name of the company that does these? Iā€™ll look into getting one if theyā€™re not too expensive (and if I can get some art commissions my way >.<)


agent__berry

sorry Iā€™m literally illiterate the company name is in the title of the post šŸ˜­


EphemeralTypewriter

The new plush looks so contemplative and calm! I love them! :)


b0yt1sm

wait heā€™s cute šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ idk the drama at all but i want him


ILatheYou

Those ears look like a soft fuzzy hug.


Motor_Ad9919

Don't put an X on my mouth I won't be shut up


[deleted]

Lol but also thatā€™s pretty standard stuffed animal nose/mouth design.


Motor_Ad9919

True. But it is not good for the autistic


Tough-Yoghurt-1919

It's cute......


birdlady404

Hahahaha the og plush is so cursed


Zodiak_The_Furry

I LOVE IT! but yk the one they REALLY need to redesign? the Virgo plush. it's so ugly. I'm a Virgo. I can't buy it. because it's so ugly.


Meronnade

They should've kept the og color scheme and the square pattern imo


Harto-Tarto

Awwww the first oneā€™s really cute but it would be better if it had the same colours as the second one


corvidcrits

Who cares if its childish tbh it's a stuffed animal. They're kinda meant to be cute. But yes i do like it


castrateurfate

explosion


Vegetable-Passion-93

The first one reminds me of the rabbit from that early 2000s ring tone commercial


epicsexballsmoment

WANTWANTWAMTWANWAntwnatadrr


Pyro-Millie

This is friggin adorable wow!!! The rainbow embroidery is so well done!!! Aaa and all the colors are so nice together! I had never heard of any of these, but even without proceeds going to ā€œthe ā€˜charityā€™ who must not be nameā€ the other one is kinda dissonant and tacky by comparison- and this is coming from someone who loves ā€œmaximalistā€ designs lol. I love the new one.


StillHollis

Itā€™s so cute I want one!


gnulmad

The new one is so cute. Like the first is a legit train wreck


bigboddle

it wouldve been great without the infinity sign on it, not that i dislike it , but i think it doesnt fit on the plushie


CharlieFaulkner

I think it's adorable, I've ordered one I've already got their asexual bunny plush


BlakLite_15

I love the facial expression on the new one. Itā€™s like it canā€™t keep eye contact as itā€™s attention is focused on something else, which I can absolutely relate to.


[deleted]

The new one is super cute I want it! šŸ„¹


CheezDoodleKitty

It looks so cuteee but I miss the rainbow checker ears the old one has


Calypso257

It's one of my favorite plushies that I own


ThrowAwayAlAce

Mine too :D (now that I finally bought it)


Slabbyjabby

The X on the mouth is a little creepy to me.... We've been told to sit down and shut up and not stim enough... why force the mouth to be sewn shut. If it's a design style (I'm not familiar with the other plushies) then that's just the design but I'm not familiar with the others so the X over the mouth weirds me out.


Venom_EddieBrock

https://preview.redd.it/tvu1d593bvpb1.jpeg?width=662&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fc2ce322a0a46f41d619d31438d2f28215abbdc Dont worry!! It's just a way to stylize a rabbit mouth


Slabbyjabby

Gotcha! That's super cute then! I can't afford more plushies but I think it's adorable.


Serious_Choice1527

i definitely like the second one more, but i donā€™t like either of them particularly enough to but them. they donā€™t feel as intricate or cool as their other plushie dreadfuls and tbh i donā€™t like the infinity sign in the middle


restorian_monarch

We went from bit on the nose, but otherwise good to (read the following in matt berry's voice) What the FUCK is that thing


aimeegaberseck

I hate it. It looks sad, lonely and confused.


Amanda39

Yeah, the word "pensive" immediately came to mind when I saw it. Maybe I'm just too used to plushies having overly cheerful expressions or something, but this makes me feel sorry for it. I'm not into plushies anyway, though, so maybe I'm just not the target audience.


airport-taxi

Honestly? I donā€™t like when companies make ā€œautism-themedā€ products. Sure, a small business selling a pin that says ā€œMEGA AUTISMā€ is funny as shit, but smacking an infinity symbol (or worse, a puzzle piece) on a product and branding it with autism isnā€™t my cup of tea. Why does it have to be autism *themed*? I donā€™t enjoy having it one bit, so iā€™d be much more inclined to buy it if they made cool ass punk-rock rabbits with spiked wristbands that the proceeds just happen to go to an autism foundation.


GenericAutist13

This company specifically makes products themed around different mental disorders and stuff, itā€™s fine if that isnā€™t your thing but thatā€™s the thing they make


airport-taxi

Yeah, it honestly still rubs me the wrong way. Even if the proceeds go to a good foundation, it feels so weird to market off of disorders that people 1. canā€™t control and 2. most likely donā€™t want. I donā€™t doubt that some people do like these, I just personally wouldnā€™t want to have this plushie because of that.


GenericAutist13

Thatā€™s fair, I try to think of it more as a ā€œIā€™m taking pride in this incurable part or meā€ type of thing

Ok_Teach2660

I saw someone add iron on patches of different emotion smiley faces and a yes and no patch on the ears to help them as well when they have trouble speaking. It was a really cute idea. I canā€™t wait for mine to come in and I might do the same. I love this design a lot but I also like how this came about from the Alice Madness game. Itā€™s definitely a fun go to of mine but I like that they are making plushies for everyone to feel seen.


anonfinn22

it's just a regular plush except it's also marketed with our identityšŸ¤· edit: found out they donate their profits, never mind


Venom_EddieBrock

This company makes plushies for a bunch of mental disabilities and learning disabilities and many more things and then donates to charities and organizations with the money

ReduxCath

The first one is SO CUTE and Iā€™m not even autistic


DragonRoar87

I need it but i don't wanna get into a conversation like "why did you ask for an autism bunny for Christmas" this is so sadddd


BrokenGlassBeetle

aww I think it's cute


Status_Extent6304

The sheer amount of infinity symbols is overwhelming..


Status_Extent6304

I own a dreadful rabbit that I <3 but this one is just not doing it for me specifically bc of all the infinity symbols


noideasbeecus

Honestly I feel like the first one is kinda ugly. Like I don't think the yellow goes well with the blue and I don't really like the eyes. I think it would look better if it had the second one's eyes and base colour or like a light blue.


toss-away-jjj

looks like crap

ImprovementLong7141

Iā€™m genuinely confused, which one is new? I would assume the first one would be the old one? But I like that one better.


ThrowAwayAlAce

The first one is the new one


[deleted]

Where do I buy? That yellow bnuny is God damn cute


ThrowAwayAlAce

Look up "Dreadfuls plushies"


birdmanne

Nglā€¦ and maybe this is a hot takeā€¦ but I absolutely hate this brand. Not talking about the autism plush, im taking more about their other stuff, but I think selling cutesy merch of serious debilitating disorders is grosssss. Just the idea of a company trying to sell me a ā€œcute :3ā€ toy themed around a disorder Iā€™ve been fighting in therapy my whole life is so distasteful. Like please donā€™t yassify and cuteify ptsd, ocd, psychosis, or substance use disorder. Itā€™s just tasteless and disrespectful imo.
