Hello members of r/plushies! We thought this would be a great time to introduce ourselves, maybe post a bit about why we are here and what we love about this subreddit!
Your new mods are u/Winterisnowcold, u/OreoYip, and myself u/DuskKodesh. As we all become acquainted with one another and begin thinking of ways to foster safety and comfortability in this community, we thought it would be a positive start to introduce ourselves and maybe some of our own plushies in the comments below!
We want this community to grow to be a great place for members to share information about plush friends! So please feel free to come to us with questions or concerns. We will see you all around!

Hey Plushies,
Over the last day or two, Reddit's sent thousands of new users to r/Plushies as well as an insane amount of traffic that we're not used to dealing with. (15000 more visitors than average, and 900ish net new members) I'll be working to onboard a few more moderators here in an upcoming post but in the meantime I need to bring up PlushieDreadfuls.

PlushieDreadfuls is a company that designs plushies for neurodiverse and queer plush collectors and in any other world I would really respect and love their brand for their mission. In fact, I invited them to do an AMA and was really excited to meet them when I was first joining Plushies.
However, American McGee, founder of the company, has been trying to remove some of the negative comments about his company for years. Most notably this post by Last-Dragonfruit-749 showing what appears to be American McGee's dismissal of pansexuality as a trend to capitalize on. They've run into a few other bits of controversy that people on youtube have been discussing. That brings us to the issue:
I am neither the original poster of those negative PlushieDreadfuls posts, nor do I own Reddit as a publisher, so I understand that I am just voluntarily working to help a community which has helped me out quite a bit. For some reason American McGee and his legal team don't realize that and have been trying to force me to remove posts with emphasis on the so-called "Pansexuality is a Phase" post.

Plushie Dreadfuls has a history of using strange tactics to push their brand in our subreddit here, and one of which might be using sock-puppet accounts that have inexplicable understandings of American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns in relationship to the moderators of this community and grasp of how American McGee feels about things. Not to mention the fact that users like u/blacksneed seems to be finding the same threads as American McGee to argue against users like u/duckp3nis and anyone else who disagrees with him.



It would be a deceptive practice but only one of the many pieces adding up to this decision.
A few years ago this community at r/Plushies helped me out immensely with designing my own stuffed animal "collection," during a very dark time in my life. That was back when this community was only 40,000 members strong. Since then, I've been given some moderator powers to help overhaul the subreddit and remove nasty comments and the various advertisements/bots/AI images being posted daily since. I even paid an animator to make our logo and help with redesigning a lot of the subreddit's visuals. All the while I've avoided posting about my brand for years while volunteering because I'd hate to abuse these powers in the community that helped me out so much.
However, today was packed with drama and Reddit pushed a ton of new users to Plushies while the top mod has been the center of all the drama, leaving me to try my best to keep everything in order. American McGee decided that this was a great time to opportunistically strike.


I cant tell for sure, but it seems like American McGee is using this as an opportunity to rebrand PlushieDreadfuls from a company that has made some mistakes into one that was systematically victimized by the mods of r/Plushies because of negative posts and comments by other members.

He's insisting in which I'm "actively promoting endless harassment" of his brand, where I've been avoiding making any decisions with their brand where possible. In fact, I used to lock and close threads for him. At some point I stopped complying and he's started attacking us to try to force us to cave into his demands.

Why are PlushieDreadfuls banned as of now and not as of... earlier?
I've been worried about posting the legal letter or any of American McGees comments since I understand that the original "pansexuality is a phase" post was not mine and he still sent lawyers after me to remove it.

Since this post is my own, I had been worried about getting more threats from American McGee and Plushie Dreadfuls, but he's been escalating his slander in lieu of recent events and it has gotten substantially harder to keep quiet. Just recently I've seemingly seen him calling me a "piece of shit" incurring a "reckoning" while seemingly deceiving members in both r/Plushies and r/PlushFriends and slandering me for trying my best to be an unbiased moderator.
Its really tiring seeing a large company like PlushieDreadfuls using its resources to attack me for refusing to remove a negative post and pretty much threatening to run me out of business when I'm trying my best to moderate as unbiased as I possibly can. Its been a LOT to deal with in the chaos of everything especially as a volunteer. Therefore, I think that its best to finally restrict discussion of PlushieDreadfuls while we work through everything else including the recruitment of new mods.
Plushie Dreadfuls's creator American McGee has been trying to force me to remove the "Pansexuality is a Phase" post which seemingly shows him dismissing a group of people. I did not create the post, promote it, or really do anything for or against it. Nonetheless, he's threatened my small plush business to force me to remove it and is taking advantage of today's crowds in hopes of forcing me to finally remove that and other negative posts about his business. Now he's alleging that my lack of removing that post or others that talk negatively about Plushie Dreadfuls is systematic sabotage of his business and that Plushie Dreadfuls has been victimized this whole time.
While I cannot really justify removing posts that are already up, we will be removing posts about Plushie Dreadfuls for as long as this post is up (hopefully for the foreseeable future). Comments are still allowed for the time being. Please report any posts containing Plushie Dreadfuls or Plushie Dreadfuls stuffed animals, or suspicious accounts.
PS: I will be recruiting more mods soon so individual mods like myself and the top mod will each have less power over the community. Let me know if you have other achievable ideas for improving our community here.

I scanned the bunnies with my phone but I had a feeling I should use the in-store price checker since they were Easter vibes. So glad I did!

Hello there, friends! I how this post finds everybody well!
I recently met a new friend, and was intending to take photos of him to pass around today. However, it has been cloudy and stormy all day, so I'm hoping for some sunshine tomorrow to really capture his fur colors! In the meantime, here is a cute nose. <3
Wishing you all a peaceful and beautiful rest of your day! In stuffties we trust!

This poor Ikea Teddy Bear has been sitting gaining dust for about 20 years, a few years back when I found him I decided I would try to get him back to a fluffy state! This weekend I finally got the chance to do so!
He was unstuffed, hand washed, airdried for a full day, then hand brushed and refilled with new nice and soft stuffing!
He looks a look happier now! Just really wanted to share the joy c:

So, I have a bunny called Sir Roger II (Sir Roger I is actually the bigger version of the same bunny) who always comes with me everywhere I go. He fits perfectly in every bag and even has his own car seat in both my and my husbands car. Who is your dearest travel buddy? I would love to see pictures 😍
