Labubu and the Controversy
Cursed doll or pop culture cult? The rumors, the myths, and why they only make it stronger.
Every icon carries a shadow.
And Labubu, for all its cute chaos and viral appeal, is no exception.
From whispers of occult symbols to urban legends about the character watching you at night, this collectible has stirred more than just hype â itâs sparked a cultural mystique.
Letâs dive in.
đŽ âIt watches youâ â The Urban Myth
It started on Reddit.
A photo of a Labubu figure sitting on a shelf... and a comment:
âAnyone else feel like itâs⌠staring back?â
Soon, the stories piled up.
People claiming unease. Movement. Vibes.
Of course, thereâs no science behind it. But myth feeds obsession.
Just like Chucky. Or Momo.
But this time, itâs intentional â aesthetic, eerie, irresistible.
𧿠Symbols, Satan, and Speculation
Labubuâs sharp teeth. The devilish horns. The âpossessed plushâ look.
Some called it demonic. Some saw it as a joke.
Others? They bought more.
Why?
Because controversy sells.
Think of Marilyn Manson. Think of Balenciaga.
When people panic, collectors pay.
đ¸ Secret Drops & Hidden Eyes
Some Pop Mart drops include cryptic design elements:
All-seeing eyes. Masked faces. Darker palettes.
Coincidence? Maybe.
Or maybe itâs part of the narrative puzzle.
Because Labubu isnât a passive toy.
It feels like a coded message â a symbol layered with meaning.
And in an era where meaning is rare, people will chase it.
đ Why This Makes It More Desirable
Controversy creates curiosity.
Curiosity builds community.
And the more people ask âWhat is this thing?â â the more others want in.
Owning Labubu becomes a flex.
Not just of taste, but of courage. Of being early on the wave.
Of understanding the cultural layers others miss.
