[edit] Earring Magic Ken
The claim that Earring Magic Ken was "stigmatized and removed from sale" because he resembled a homosexual man is a quasi-urban legend. True, the doll attracted a lot of attention and satirical comment, but he was simply intended to be a fashion conscious man of the time period concerned.--Ianmacm 14:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I edited the phrase 'homosexual community' to be 'gay community'. In this context, I think 'gay' is a better word because it seems to imply the communitarian aspects of certain homosexuals. Not all homosexuals, or people withs same-sex attractions, are gay. However, most of the Ken enthusiasts actually are, well, gay.
