There is a big difference between anonymity, and those who don't hide their identities. All opinions are perhaps valid and well made...depending on one's perspective. Anyone who is not 'out of the closet' so to speak, obviously does give a rat's ass what people think or they would not be hiding their doll ownership from those around them

My name and my face, as well as many doll owners, is out there. So I DO care how people label me and think of me. I do not want to be seen as part of an extremist group of social outcasts because that is not reflective of the majority of our community. It in fact represents less than 10 % of the group. Even the etymology of the term iDollator implies to 'idolize' dolls.
So I would ask of those who say they don't care what people call them or who they group them with, "Is your identity known to the public as a love doll owner?"
I think labeling is a pretty necessary thing in society. Most straight men don't want to take their party to a gay bar. Most fetishes are labeled and people tend to congregate around people who share similar interests. Even in doll ownership, there are natural divisions. Teddy Babe owners tend to have a sub community as do the inflatables and the high end and mid range solids. Gay doll owners interest are different than heterosexual owners.
No labels? More problematic than probable
