The problem isn't the toys and dolls, but being overly attached, which can happen to any material possession, even "adult things" like cars or clothes.
100%. Anything that can just be bought and seen but has no depth is definitely on the top of the list. At least if you're into cars but talk to me about engines and technical evolution, or you're into animals but fr and know classifications and curious facts about otters, like, even if I'm not interested at all I can't help but respect a bit. It's a passion with depth, an obsession I could never have but that shows you appreciate the less superficial and consumerist parts of the world. I'd have the same opinion about someone who has a massive collection of Bionicles (I get it, they were cool AF but there's a time and place for everything...) in full display in the living room, or worse, anime bodypillows, lol.
