France’s consumer watchdog has reported the Asian fast fashion giant Shein to authorities for selling “sex dolls with a childlike appearance” on its website.

The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said the online description and categorisation of the dolls “makes it difficult to doubt the child pornography nature of the content”.

Shein later told the BBC: “The products in question were immediately delisted as soon as we became aware of these serious issues.”

    I mean does it even look like creators are aiming to produce child like appearance? Full sized products would be more expensive to create and ship, and for customers - to buy and store.

    You can easily buy a compact silicone alternative with human body features and… you’d be called a mutilation maniac?
